3-1-25 SHORT HILLS: Yesterday I was outside doing more clean up. I was removing dead fall from the trees and shrubs in the upper triangle at the intersection of our two streets. I did about half of it, and that took over an hour. During a break I saw, wait for it, snowdrops up and in bloom! In February!
I have always considered March first as the beginning of spring and look forward to six months of spring and summer and then three months of fall. I know about the Vernal Equinox on the 21st and all that, and that we will probably get more snow, but March first does it for me.
New blooms: snowdrops.
