A period of warm weather in mid-March is producing colorful blooms in our neighborhoods.

It’s not yet St. Patrick’s Day, but the colors of yellow, white, pink, and fuschia are popping out all over. The high temperature is predicted to be 54 degrees, with rain, Tuesday. But highs will be in the 70s and upper 60s for the next week or so, according to the forecast from the National Weather Service. Lows are not expected to dip to freezing in that period. Easter is Sunday, April 4.

After a rough past year, maybe we’ll catch a break and get an early spring.
