A good soaking rain is the only thing missing from an otherwise normal spring. The total precip for the week was barely over a tenth of an inch (0.12"). About half of that came as snow that didn't last long. Tuesday morning brought 0.2" of snow that covered grassy areas and vehicles but melted on the driveway and even the snowboard on contact. By noon, it had all melted away.
Plants and animals are coming out of winter mode in earnest. Lots of little spring bulbs that appear after the crocus are in full bloom, daffodils are as well and tulips aren't far behind. Maple tree buds are starting to develop. The Andromeda and forsythia are also in full bloom, and the Mason bees are starting to come out of the little "tube" structures, yet again timed perfectly with the Andromeda where they start feeding. That, in turn, bring the sparrows that feed on them - if they can catch them. 
The Marathon is coming soon, runners are about everywhere. Weather conditions have been good for them (or so we're told), cool and dry(er) weather conditions are favored and we definitely have that.
