Is it Spring?

Spring has come and gone a few times this year. There have been some teasingly warm days. The daffodils seemed to appear and bloom in the course of a few days. While the flowers continue to shine brightly, there has been more than one dusting of snow. Just a few nights ago it was white once again. 

What am I missing?

I am living on a remote cluster of islands across an ocean from where I grew up. Of course life is different. Yet in less than a year, I don't notice differences on a daily basis...until I leave the islands, drive off of the ferry, and encounter a stoplight. What are these stoplight things? I laughed at the realization that there are no stoplights on the island, except for zebra crossings (How do zebra's survive on the island, you ask? They don't. This is what a certain type of pedestrian crossing is called:). Why hadn't I noticed that? What else am I missing?

February has been a month of reflections.
