well, signs of.
The sandhill cranes are back -- the pair of young adult males showed up Wednesday morning. They're not terribly thrilled that the pond isn't melted yet, but they go back to the communal nesting grounds to the west at night, and there's water there (well, and there's the birdbath here).
and there are crocuses blooming in the west garden. There's a clump of them that's right up against the foundation wall, and it gets warm there on sunny afternoons. I went out to get the mail this afternoon, and there's a little clump of pale purple and white striped flowers. there are leaves in the garden, too, but that's the first bunch that's actually flowered. There will be more this weekend, I am sure. (Just in time to get buried in 3" of snow - on Monday night, natch.)
