When the snow is all melted (boy did it melt today) and the temperature remains above 0 C. So by that definition, we had a half-spring day today; it was 10 C!
And of course, it’s the one day where I didn’t look at the thermometer and wore my big winter coat and nearly died of heatstroke in the process.
Read my books! Volume 1 and 2 of A Dragon Medley are available now.

TOO LATE!! I have 2 on the way as of this morning I finally paid the Ransom for the VF curlie#2 and my VF Feldgie are finally flying home!!
I will be making payment #2 on my Gold Emperor in a about 2 weeks and I have sent off the finaly payment for Mama (her Sun Emperor repiant) to Kyrin so he should be home soon too!!I answered that question like that WAY back in High School 20+ years ago. I can’t believer my 25 year reunions will be next year
March 4, 2008 at 12:34 am #674050We never had our 5 year high school reunion. I hope we have our 10 year one this year but I don’t think it will happen 🙁
March 4, 2008 at 1:37 am #674051March 4, 2008 at 2:06 am #674052When nature decides it’s spring here. We have flocks of robins that stay around all hear here (saw about 10 the other day on my drive to work in a yard… had a flock of 40-50 last year hanging around my next door neighbor’s house for most of a day last January/Feb… crazy!). We also had some flowers blooming early last January (we had dandelions and it was 68 degrees F last January 6th… then we had a huge ice storm and winter set in a week later :roll:). Crocus seem to be a good sign usually, and some of the early trees and shrubs around here that start growing little buds early (pussywillows!).
The patterns have been a bit more erratic the last 3 years or so than they used to be in the past, so it’s not as clear as it used to be.

I have always thought about March 22 was the start of SpringAh! You’re rubing it in! 😉
I always thought it was the first robin also.March 4, 2008 at 3:01 am #674054When it smells right. If you don’t know how spring smells I pity you. Also When the dog starts to have her allergies to the “Snow Blog”. But I do say Happy (Whichever season) on the Calender days. Where I grew up and where I live now have spring usually 2 months or more separate, I like this Spring thing starting in Feb/March and being in full swing by April. Much nicer than waiting until May for a warm wind.
March 4, 2008 at 3:24 am #674055It feels like spring here now. It was actually really nice outside today…shorts weather. I hope spring comes fast…my plant pots outside are looking so bare. I need to put plants in them!! They get so big and pretty…now it’s just twigs.
My most wanted list: carnelian mouse wizard, copper patina frog wizard, autumn leaf poads, pumpkin spice kitties
March 4, 2008 at 7:23 pm #674056I live in Quebec. Here, we’re relatively far to the North and the whole month of March is a true Winter month. Spring doesn’t come before April and lasts very short. Here, winters are polar and summers are tropical… 🙁
March 6, 2008 at 9:01 pm #674057Beltane is spring for me, and when the crocus come up. And when it just smells like spring!
March 6, 2008 at 9:07 pm #674058Once the Gold Finches start turning yellow. In the winter they’re sorta dingy brown but in spring they turn yellow an the cardinals turn red too. (hasn’t happened yet, but these are from last spring)

March 6, 2008 at 9:27 pm #674059March 7, 2008 at 10:20 pm #674060When my orchid tree stops blooming. It only blooms thru the winter months and my impatients die. They only grow thru the winter as well.
March 8, 2008 at 2:38 am #674061LOL…we are kinda backwards down here in Florida!!! We know it’s spring when our flowers start dying!!! 😆
