- Spring peepers croaking in the valley
- Pheasant (male) strutting his stuff
- Chives up!
- Hollyhocks up

Not yet seen:
- Anything blooming on our land, including dandelions
- Orioles or hummingbirds
- Tornado warnings
- Removal of the yellow ropes at work (used to keep people off of the stairs to the building that they don't shovel. Why they built the grand staircases up to the building, I don't know, as they are unusable due to the yellow ropes for about half of the year).
