I am not sure about this, but I believe we are experiencing a late Spring.  

Officially, Spring sprung on March 20th, but having returned North last week, it seemed like we happily happened upon an atypical lush, colorful, vibrant and welcoming environment, which was more "just so" than past years.  

The feelings that Spring, in all its glory, engenders are primeval and nearly beyond description!

Ah, 4 seasons and renewal!!!
