Signs are unmistakable now. Last of the snow departed Apple Valley around 8:00 last night.. that’s when I noticed the last bit on the street was actually gone. Today there’s just a pile of sand and grit where Snow Mountain used to be. Last night, for the first time time this year the opening choruses of the annual frog love season kicked in with first wood frogs singing away last night.
And finally, sometime yesterday the ice went out of Alimagnet lake. According to my records, about three weeks later than it did last year. First shoots of tulips broke through this week and the streets are filled to hoards of children playing out side in mass for the first time since November.
Won’t be long now before we change over and start bitching about the heat. Love the change of seasons.
