Signs of spring

You know spring is coming to Lincoln when these posters miraculously appear on roads next to wetlands. The sap buckets are up along Baker Bridge Road, the red winged blackbirds are making their familiar call and the salamanders are stirring in their vernal pools. All had a day to rest today as snow fell quietly and the temperature headed back down to the familiar 30's. But it won't stay there. The sap will resume moving, birds resume mating, salamanders will stir in the primordial ooze and cars will take the long way around on the next warm rainy night. Happy Spring everyone.
