Spring's First Day-Or Noooot?

Today is supposed to be the first day of spring in Redbush's world- March 21st.  But she is having a hard time spotting anything even remotely representing that first day.   At the moment March seems to be indicating that it will head out like a lion.  Snow is still falling.  The temperature is -2 degrees (she knows it could be worse).  The trees are still frost and snow-laden.  Bonzi's water dish is still frozen solid in the morning and has to be replaced.  Redbush is aching for some of the usual signs that spring is here:

- Crocuses peaking through the ground 

- A snipe, or kildeer doing his usual roadrunner run along the water runs 

 of the driveway.

- Pussywillows forming on the willow trees.

- Water runs trickling out from the ice under the snow thaws on the lease.

- Green grass pushing through the frosty lawn.

-  Buds forming on her poplar and mountain ash trees.

-  Seeing hundreds of  Canada geese in their v-formation migrating back  and  hearing their honking voices.
