Just now returning from most of a week of wandering the back country of
NM/AZ/UT from 10k ft to 3k, my lilacs and cottonwoods were budding, my
apricot had started blooming and was frozen off, my apples just did the
same last night (froze back) I think.   The grasses are peeking up
through the dry leaves and  dead weed-stalks.  

I am amazed at how subtle the "quickening" of Spring can come on...  a
threshold of temperature (nighttime or daytime?) or minutes of sunlight?   

At your (glen) higher latitude but sea-level perspective, nature must be
on a slightly advanced/retarted schedule?   Similar but different for
you having moved from Portland this season?

The trees are budding and the grass needs mowing. So, maybe. But I don't pay enough attention. It seems like Portland comes alive about the same as here in Olympia. We got a LOT of rain this season, I'm told. Maybe the gods wanted to demonstrate to me and Renee' that this *is* still rainforest territory. My weight set had a sizeable layer of rust within a week of being here. The thin layer of WD-40 that sufficed down in PDX was laughed off by the salty air, here. 8^) I've since desperately lathered them in motor oil. And I'm looking forward to the peri-solstice ~5am sunrises and 9pm sunsets so I can run the sidewalks without tripping over the uneven tiles. By the autumn equinox, I should have my routes' terrains memorized.

As of that date, Glen's days become longer than ours.
