Supposed to be the 21st, I doubt that it has any significance.

It seems to have done so here. Yesterday I went over to talk severely to my
aspargus and upbraid it for not yet giving me a meal. To my delight, the
bed was covered in spears when only a few days ago there wasn't a sign of
them.

I think I have to now agree that Spring is here. As the revered Pete would
say, "Now it's on for young and old".
