It is interesting that you report March as having the warmest
temperatures for the month. March also set records in North America
for being the warmest March on record.
I was encouraged by the story that migrating birds arrived earlier in
some places, along with the warmer weather. Nature is taking care of
itself.
Trees, flowers, and shrubs continue to bloom. As you see, our
documented tree has leaved out, but the hillside is still more brown
than green. the grass will brown down as soon as warm temperatures
stay. Spring is fleeting!
