Saturday was Groundhog Day, and Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow, meaning 6 more weeks of Winter, but that's out East. Around here it was overcast, so no shadow, and an early appearance for the green season.
Another sure sign of Spring is the sprouting of the Paperwhite Narcissus (Narcissus Tazetta) bulbs in the kitchen. 
Along with being a visual beauty, the scent, not unlike an Easter Lily, is wonderful, too.
Another harbinger of Spring is a deficit-laden Federal budget, presented by the White House. This year we're running another $410 billion in the Red. Nice job Republican Party. Aren't you supposed to be the fiscal conservatives and promoters of smaller government? It's about time to let someone else manage our feed trough for a while.
