From Chisholm, MN, (closer to our common area of interest than TX!), here are my signs of spring:

* Sounds of water running outside.
*Roof leaking from the ice dams built up from melting snow.
*I see entire city streets free of ice and snow for the first time since November.
*I can ice fish without a coat, but MUST have sunglasses and sun screen.
*Giant snowman's head is now the size of a softball. (The hat is absorbing the sun's rays and shrinking it faster than the rest of his body!)
*Dog deposits reemerging from the snow.
