Feels Like Spring.

3-8-16 SHORT HILLS: It was 70° here this afternoon, with sun and a mild breeze. For me, the first day of spring is that day when I’m walking around outside and the wind on my face feels warm—today. I was outside in a T-shirt, feeling the warmth and starting to do clean up.

The first crocus opened today and several Vinca minor flowers opened yesterday. The elm trees have a few blooms open and the red oaks are on the verge as are the andromedas, and snowflakes. Daffodil shoots and star-of-Bethlehem shoots are up an inch or so.

New blooms: vinca minor, crocus, elm.


First Crocuses.

Vinca minor has opened in several spots.

Snowdrops maturing.

Red maple about to pop.

Elm tree flowers with house finches probably after the pollinators.
