I'm out planting flowers today and I can see a lot of differences from years past in the huge number of volunteer weeds/flowers, large swaths of violets that began appearing last summer, and unusual bugs.

Right now, the temps are wonderful, but they are predicting much longer periods of 90+ degree days ahead.
