Some of my plants have decided it’s spring.  This is not so, but they seem to think it is.  This is due to the fact that they have all been in one of my southwest-facing rooms, and they get nice warm sun all afternoon.

It is nice that my plants have determined that it is spring.  I wish the weather would follow suit.
