The trees and shrubs are all shooting, wisteria buds are opening and a
north wind produced the first hot day.

Yep.

Maybe spring is here?

I'm not trusting it yet.

We feast on asparagus daily and the artichokes are budding, next week they
too will begin to lay down their greeny-purple little lives for the
greater good.

Bugger! Nothing like that here yet! I don't want to hear about how
delicious all this produce is (at least not till I can get some too).

Yippeeee spring IS here!

Bitch, mumble, groan.
