The official first day of spring this year is Friday, March 20th, at 9:46 a.m. That is 480 hours and 28,800 minutes.
Can you tell I am ready? It has been a long winter. We had some nice days to get outdoors in January and February, but then the cold winds and snow came.
I don’t know about you, but I am ready for any warm days we can get in March. I am ready for the colors of spring in tiny wildflowers bursting through decayed leaves.
I am ready for the blooming of the redbud trees followed by the flowering dogwoods.
I am really ready for the emergence of morel mushrooms on the forest floor. I enjoy getting out and searching for them. I saute them in butter and eat them with grilled venison steaks or fried crappie.
