Wondering: Could it be? Dare I hope? Is spring lurking in the wings just waiting to spring? As a harbinger, at least 50 roly poly robins descended into my garden on Sunday. Come out, come out wherever you are spring. We await with open arms.

DFO: Wondering brings up a point I’ve been mulling for a few weeks. What are the signs of spring? I look for the first crocus. She looks for robins. The arrival of pitchers and catchers for spring training is another indicator.

Question: What indicates to you that spring is on the way?
