Sorry for the quality - holding an iPhone at arm's length while stooping ('cause I don't want to tromp around on that wet soil) isn't the formula for prize-winning photography. Still, a sign nonetheless! Quite a bit of bird noise out there this morning, too. 

 

Anybody else got pics of the earliest spring signifiers?

There are some spring wichhazels blooming right now!

My helleborus has bloomed this early in the past, this photo was taken a few years ago. It isn't blooming yet this year.

When I see the skunk cabbage (Symplocarpus foetidus) beginning to bloom I know spring is, if not sprung, on the way.

Here's another one I just noticed. Certainly is an early riser, especially when it grows next to the north edge of the sidewalk (that's actually lawn in balmier months).
