Signs of Spring in Victoria

"Smith said spring officially begins at 3:29 a.m. on March 20.One sure sign of spring in the region is the appearance of the Victoria Harbour Ferries, which actually got off to an early start this year on Feb. 10.

Another indication the season has turned will be the opening of Barb’s Fish & Chips, set for the first week of April in its familiar spot at Fisherman’s Wharf. The floating restaurant will be in a new building.
For farmer Ryan Vantreight, general manager of Longview Farms, the focus heading into spring is on harvesting the remainder of the daffodil crop, a staple of the operation. He said pickers are still needed.
Some of the daffodils arrived early, he said, but the snow that fell recently slowed down their progress enough to put them back on their usual track."

Meanwhile in Palm Springs we have had the most unusual weather since about mid Feb.  It was often in the 60's,  now in the 80's but will go down to the 60's again at the end of this week and even some rain.  Now,  rain is always welcome and we actually got quite a bit last night...yeah!
My daffs are from Trader Joe's.


I think you can probably see the raindrops..
