My 4th Sign of Spring (3.18.10, 3:10 My House)

My first sign of spring this time is that the HUGE puddle in my backyard evaporated.
All of the circled area was 3" to 9" deep. Firstly this is a sign of spring because it means we had a lot of rain, which comes in the spring. The second reason this is a sign for me is that the sun evaporated all the water, as we near the summer the sun grows more intense making the water evaporate faster.
My second sign this time is that there are more birds that are out and about. On 3.17.10 I was eating a bag of Chipotle chips in my backyard and there were over 20 birds calling an flying in my backyard including three or four common grackles and red-winged blackbirds. I went out in my backyard an looked for birds for a few minutes with a video camera.
My third and final sign for this time around is that I am starting to sneeze a lot more. For some unknown reason I pretty much always sneeze in the sun. As we get closer to summer there is more sun and I am sneezing more.
