On her Facebook wall, Marianne Love writes: "Three more days; then Feburary. I'm ready. January has a way of being long, long, long -- no matter what. About the 15th, I think we're on the downhill run, then all those days from the 20th start draaaaaaagggging by." In my mind, I consider Groundhog's Day as the first step toward spring, no matter what Punxatawney Phil sees when he emerges from his hole. This year, however, I've already seen one of the sure signs of spring -- a fire-engine-yellow yard sign tacked to a telephone pole on Government Way. How about you?

Question: Have you seen any signs of spring yet?
