I'm calling it. It's spring!
We reached 74 F today. This week I've seen the first chipmunk, first butterfly, and first turtles of the season, first mating birds, and today the first wildflowers (three species: a fair amount of this speedwell, a dandelion, and a chickweed bloom). Birds have been singing, pairing up, and seeking nest holes for a few weeks, and yesterday I saw at least six great blue herons on nests at their heronry. I've also seen a fair number of flies, and some maples have budded.
This isn't a thaw. This is spring!
PS I sneezed a lot yesterday, too, and started sneezing first thing this morning and realized it's spring allergy season.
