As you know if you have read this blog for a while, March 1 marks the official start of climatological spring, which runs from March 1 through May 31. Of course, signs of spring have been all around us here in the Southeast already, but you can expect to see a rapid increase in leaves and blooms in the next couple of weeks as temperatures ramp up quite a bit. So happy spring to all of you who celebrate! You can read more about it at EarthSky here.
