welcome peepers (not the window variety)

it is too early yet to see it,

the grass is still brown 

and there are no buds on the tree

it is too early to smell it yet,

we've had a few days of 50-60 degree, 

but not enough to warm the earth

it is not too early to hear it-

peepers=spring is here, 

even if the calendar says it 18 days away
