We had a T of rain one day this week. No snow. 
Many turkey are flocking and graising the area, Mule Deer are browsing. 
My planted garlic is 2-3" high, the rhubarb is up through the soil, the day lillie's are 5" high.  
I see larger buds on Aspen trees. 
Song birds are active at water baths on the deck.
