Default Spring Is Here

I already guessed that winter was over when I saw 'Soleil d'Or',

Yeah. I've had crocus blooming for a few days now and the smaller narcissus
are just getting opening up. The taller ones are always slower and, given
that they broke ground in December before the cold weather hit and froze
their tips, they may be a bit slower than usual this year. I figure that
Spring is here when I can smell the first Hyacinths and that will be a
while yet.
