Spring is approaching in a few weeks.

All the news from the peanut gallery and where all the nasty trash talk fails miserably.
It can get NSFW-ish here: you have been warned!

While watching the Superbowl recently at my neighbor's house the bug zapper on his deck was constantly buzzing throughout the game. Not definitive, but a sure sign spring cannot be far away.

There is always a big party opening day of trout, the kids are always in the field hitting pop ups

I remember lakes being packed for opening day, I can't quite remember whether baseball started in April or May.

The other obvious and missed sign of an impending Spring is a WTC thread about it.

Welcome back FSF
Now I'm supporting your political agenda again & Trump. These fucking socialist Democrats like Sanders and AOC are the worst shit I've seen ever.

Under Trump your wife wouldn't have been allowed into this country......just food for thought.
His wife isnt from NK, Iran, or Syria
Yes because the doors are wide open for poor people from El Salvador. And I'm not talking about travel bans I'm talk about emigrating.
I blame Biker.

Actually, the border is fucking wide open. Have you ignored the news over the last 3 years?
I thought Trump leaned on Mexico hard and shut that shit down? Which is it? Shut down tight or wide fuckin open?

When did I ever claim it was locked down?
I guess you haven't, sounds like Trump has failed to keep another promise if the southern border is still wide open three years after his election

I guess the irony in the statement went over your head.

i've always relied on the mesquite trees to begin to bud to guarantee there will be no more freezes.
But that's the last sign. I meant the earliest sign. Around here, it's when you look up and see hundreds of buzzards in the sky circling after their migration from Mexico.
yep, the mesquites budding out is the last sign. I would say the first sign would be the Bradford Pears budding. Those fucking trees wake up way too quick, but somehow survive. There is always at least one or two more freezes left after the are covered in new buds. I notice them because every subdivision has them planted since they grow so quickly. They are terrible trees though.

Do you have any bamboo where you're at? That is the fastest growing plant in the world to my knowledge. I used it when I lived on 1/3 of an acre in Wayne NJ where the houses were close together. It made an awesome hedge that I surrounded my whole backyard in like a horse shoe. But you really had to maintain it to keep it from spreading where you didn't want it. People were amazed by it and how private it made my backyard. I sold that house in a week several years ago so apparently it was a plus, but a lot of people would bitch about how invasive it is.

funny, i have heard horror stories about bamboo and how it spreads. My cousin is in the flooring industry and he said that you have to be careful of real bamboo flooring. Because, it never stops growing. Sounds like bs to me, but he said that after a few years you can get buckling from the tension building up.

Yeah, you definitely have to control it. I had a paver driveway there that I put in but the boo ripped right through my neighbor's asphalt driveway. :lol: Fortunately the dude loved the privacy from the bamboo too but he needed to get his driveway redone.
