Early Spring in Spokane

Yes, it's true. It is the last day of February. Now I realize that technically, according to the calendar, it's still winter. I understand that spring really does not come til March 21st. However, since we often start getting winter weather around Halloween, isn't it only fair that by the first of March, we are seeing signs of spring?! Winter, according to the calendar, is only supposed to be three months long. So can you understand when it burns my cookies when it does this on February 28th?!?!

At least there is hope......yep, that's a robin. Hopefully he knows something we don't......
