Meteorological Spring

It's March 1st, which means in the Northern Hemisphere, it is the meteorological start to Spring! Weather wise, that means a break between frigid air and warm air to actually keep in line with the seasonal averages today. But that's still 54 degrees. Nice.

As for signs of spring, there are buds on the rhododendrons, although, they're several weeks from being ready to bloom. There are leaf buds on the hydrangea, so my late season pruning didn't do it in. :) And the spring bulbs are actually beginning to put up flower buds. It appears that daffodils was the right guess, although, there might be a hyacinth or two in there as well.
