Spring emerging anywaySpring emerging anyway

Most of the Saturday Night Snowstorm Surprise has melted, and in the white's wake, you can now see the ground. True, it's mostly brown, but if you look closely, you can see something that was almost completely absent last week. The single shoots of crocus plants that had struggled to emerge have now been joined by dozens of their compatriots. In addition to crocuses poking through the wet dirt, I've also spotted such early birds as daylilies and daffodils. To mix metaphors, it's "Gentlemen... and gentlewomen... start your engines," which, of course, is followed by the immortal "We have liftoff!" Perhaps this is now a vernal equinox we can now believe in.
