Can't be denied

It is not possible to say when Spring has started.  We have had days when it is more winter than spring then days when it is more spring than winter.  But with the plum blossom out, it is possible to conclude it is spring without winter and and any cold weather is spring cold weather.  Now, if the pollinators are doing their job AND there is no sharp frost AND the summer is kind AND the birds don't get to the ripening fruit before we do, we should have plenty of plums.
