Without grating on our Northern Gentle Readers' already jangly nerves, I have to say that I think signs of spring are starting to crop up. Yesterday we saw two flocks of crazy robins flitting through some groves of holly bushes, obviously enjoying some very early pre-game libations. And we have seen some storks floating in lazy circles, scoping out the real estate, nest planning. We went out to Pindar's in Palm City yesterday to get some flowers for the pots on the front porch and found all manner of amusing garden ornaments and scores of blooming plants. Here is a happy and cheerful fellow we discovered there, sitting in a forest of mossy grasses and pink geraniums. Make a wish on him for a blissed out Monday. And remember, the crazy robins are en route!
