Many a Vermonter's favorite flower, the crocus is often the first to bravely poke through the snow
At a Burlington grocery store yesterday I noticed green buds springing up in the store's landscaping. It made me wonder if Shelburne homes on lake Champlain will see buds earlier or later than Burlington Homes.
I wont have time to check before this post, but I'll bet that these Shelburne properties with good southern exposure will be the first to see the crocuses.
It's the time of year in Vermont when we avidly seek signs of spring. Vermont Public Radio even has a series called Signs of Spring. These signs include everything from maple sugaring to the return of the red-winged black birds to the sight of a guy standing in a snow bank practicing his fly fishing casts.
