Is It Really Here???

Enlighten me, please.

It's March, right? Not May?

Because here's what I saw this afternoon.

Rumor has it that robins have been sighted.

And the happy shouts of children outside surely seem to indicate that something is afoot.

Crocuses are popping up everywhere.

My front door even greets you with its own tribute.

And these?

These beauties were sent to me by a friend and are now perfuming my entire house with their glorious scent.

I'm an optimist. After looking at the weather forecast for the week and seeing temperatures in the 70s every day, I'm starting to think it's here.

Spring has sprung!

How about you? Are you an optimist, like me? Or are you waiting for one last blast of winter?
