[ValleyNature] grackles, crocuses, equinox

[James W. Wolford]

Several other reports of small numbers of grackles came in today on  
NatureNS, and I have personally heard of two reports of blue crocuses  
in bloom (next to houses, no doubt).  Cheers and happy spring from  
Jim in Wolfville-- Sherman Williams says the Vernal Equinox is  
tomorrow morning at about 8:45 a.m. ADT.
