When do the seasons change? By man's set date or when nature shows signs of it? We have had flora life signs of an early spring for weeks now. I found a fitting quote to my question: Spring is sooner recognized by plants than by men. ~Chinese Proverb. Quote: Listen, can you hear it? Spring's sweet cantata. The strains of grass pushing through the snow. The song of buds swelling on the vine. The tender timpani of a baby robin's heart. Spring. ~Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider, Northern Exposure, Wake Up Call, 1992. Today I seen a little boy trying to fly his kite.
