It’s going to be cold and sleeting out today. Uggh! But yesterday there were signs of spring everywhere. Pansies for sale yesterday at Hadley Garden Center for $1.88 (until 4/12). The greenhouse smelled delicious and all the flowers were wobbling bravely in the cold breeze.
There was a firefly! on my car window. It’s difficult to even imagine firefly nights, but here’s a sign they exist.
and of course the beautiful transient pussy willow! Yes, the male catkin from a tree in the poplar family, but also a very fuzzy and sweet sign of spring! And I saw my second Great Blue Heron flying overhead yesterday, too. And as I write this in the pre-dawn I just heard a song sparrow singing! Take heart! Warm spring breezes must be coming soon.
