It&#8217;s always there, as the days get longer and the snow clears. There are mornings you walk outside and smell earth and water in a mix that is unmistakeably spring.<\/p>\n<p>Usually it&#8217;s pure fantasy until we get farther along on the calendar. But as this winter was a puzzlement of mild temperatures and little snow, this shoulder season is proving to be more of the same.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_5661\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a rel=\"attachment wp-att-5661\" href=\"https:\/\/blogs.northcountrypublicradio.org\/inbox\/2012\/03\/12\/a-jump-on-spring\/snowdrops\/\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5661\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-5661\" title=\"snowdrops\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.northcountrypublicradio.org\/inbox\/files\/2012\/03\/snowdrops-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.northcountrypublicradio.org\/inbox\/files\/2012\/03\/snowdrops-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.northcountrypublicradio.org\/inbox\/files\/2012\/03\/snowdrops-150x112.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blogs.northcountrypublicradio.org\/inbox\/files\/2012\/03\/snowdrops.jpg 320w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-5661\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Snow drops in Potsdam. (Photo: Mimi Van Deusen)<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Things are early. We&#8217;ve heard reports on bluebirds, in West Potsdam and on my road outside Canton. Waves of robins are passing through. And then there are these snowdrops, from this morning in Potsdam.
