cattitude--who figured out where to look and found this violet--had already spotted a bud elsewhere in the neighborhood. Also new in flower today, wood sorrel.
No red-winged blackbirds at the salt marsh yet, but we saw two egrets.
The lawns are full of daffodils, dandelions, and robins. A magnolia is in full bloom near the violet and sorrel, and there are noticeable flower buds on a lilac there. All the forsythia are opening, and some have already sprouted leaves.
