Signs Of Spring: Sarvis, Redbuds, and Fence Lizards

The red maples have been budding out strongly for at least the past week, and I believe the sarvis (Juneberry) is beginning to come. The redbuds have been showing some color for a little over a week, but they aren’t in their prime yet. I saw the first fence lizard yesterday, and I’ve heard a few Phoebes singing in the yard.
