It’s that time of year. Spring arrives at 10:31AM CDT this morning. You could have watched it come at Archæoastronomy.
The air is already filled with pollen and the live oaks are dropping last year’s leaves. The azaleas have already peaked and the pear trees are snowy with blooms.

And in celebration of spring, it got up to 85F here in Sacramento today.
