Spring?

A couple of weeks ago, here in our area of Dallas Oregon, it looked as if winter was really going to try and settle in. My past experiences in Alaska was telling me to hunker down. But then realizing where we are, I knew that what we were getting was all there was and there wasn't going to be anymore. Now I look out the window and the usual rain and very seldom sunbreaks are all I can see. One huge difference is the temperature has risen about 5 - 10 degrees. We are now starting to get fluctuations in the temp between day and night too. With all those great observations(I'm being sarcastic), I came to the conclusion that spring is right around the corner for us. It has to be since I have already started seeds indoors for my ongoing garden project. I'm sure by the time they are ready for transplant it will be perfect conditions. How do I know this? Because I'm the keeper of the garden. They will be ready when I say they are ready. My sister thinks we will have a late spring but I bet she won't turn down that fresh spinach when I offer it to her in a month or so. Maybe I'm just bored and out of my mind. Hell I know the latter is true but I can feel the weather changing rapidly. I know you are supposed to wait until the fat lady sings but I choose to start while she is warming up. The one beautiful thing about gardening, there is no right or wrong. Just follow your instincts and everything will bloom and grow to your bleeding hearts desire.
