#183 Another Sign

I was walking down the driveway last evening, taking the garbage down, and I noticed that it was harder to see into the woods.  I veered over to the side and looked carefully at the brush (wild roses and raspberries, and the white flower thingies) along the edge of the woods, and they still look dead and dry, no sign of any leaf buds.

But it is definitely harder to see through them than it was a week ago.

What's happening is that they are swelling!  The twigs are waking up and stretching.  Individually imperceptible, but in mass enough to make the screen denser.
