Perhaps.
The crows and cardinals, and red-winged blackbirds have all migrated back.
I’m still waiting on the first rabbit of the year to appear in the courtyard.
There are shoots appearing in the garden which hold the promise of these blooms, shot in my neighbourhood grocery store.
The days are getting longer, and the quality of the light brighter and stronger, yet the temperature remains a solid 5 degrees below “normal” – whatever that might be in these days of climate change.
So I remain hopeful that Spring will appear for real when we pass the vernal equinox this week. I can only hope it’s soon.
