Signs of - could it be - Spring?

[intertext]

It may only be January 4, but there were buds on the hellebores in my garden this afternoon.

Yeah, and now I wouldn't be surprised if it _snowed_ again. Apparently the long-term forecast for this week is for snow. Funny how often it does in the first week of term and creates chaos! Of course you, up at UVic, have already started again, haven't you?

Yep, already had one of each of my five classes. First day back we had presentations. Each of three of us had to speak on an article (or 5 chapters of a book, for me) for 15 minutes and bring discussion questions to cover another 45 minutes as a group.

Fun, fun!

But yea, moments ago I had a notice slipped through the door, warning of heavy rain tomorrow, suggesting we remove valuables from the basement, etc. Drainage isn't doing so hot where I live right now, but we haven't had any flooding yet. Just lakes. More than Michigan. :)
