Happy 1stDay of Spring

[Rhodie Ranch]

Steve: they've been saying around here that we are short of rain. Tons of foggy mornings, but not enough rain.

For the Rogue Valley:
Since October 1, 2017 - Water Year..........8.38 inches. That is 4.62 inches below average for the date. Average water year rainfall is 18.35 inches.

@baymule - Definitely wondering about the free chicks!

Loving all these Spring photos- I'll add a few later on myself. Currently, We're already between Spring and Tornado Season 2 though and it's only the 21st (went from freeze last week to a few 70+ days, bunch of thunderstorms and some tornadoes a few days ago, now back to freezing again).

Change this to Illinois.
The ONLY thing flowering here is chickweed. Even the crocuses are hiding their flowers.

I'm getting some nice flowers and the wild onions are certainly growing well, but it is still spring. Twice the asparagus has started poking up and twice frost has run it back underground. Maybe next week.
