My heat has been on everyday since sometime last fall--turn it down at night. I sleep with the window open at least a crack unless it's the teens or lower. My crocuses bloomed Easter Sunday. The birds have been waking me up in the morning for the past week, though I haven't seen a robin yet. Daffodils, allium and daylilies are coming up. There are a few buds on the daffs, so spring is coming. Sunny here today, mid 40s, warming through the end of the week, so I guess spring really is coming, though slowly. I can't wait!!!
