While driving around Kenosha, I notice that the farm fields have been cultivated.
In some fields, you can see meandering green. It is just a touch of green.

The Des Plaines River has returned to its banks, and the vegetation growing in the river has spread some more.
Bees have been active on my agreeable flowers. Garden stores are full of all the vegetation that midwesterners purchase to make their home come alive with color. 
My sagbark tree has leafed, as well as my burroak; they are usually the last to leaf out.
