In Search of Signs of Spring

I went in search of spring today but, other than the temperature and a few daffodils beginning to poke their shoots from the ground, there were few signs. But, spring cannot be far away. The moss has turned that brilliant green it knows at no other time of year and the perennial fungal infection between the little toe and "ring" toe on my left foot is in full bloom. I can understand the moss. But just how that jungle rot between my toes that never sees the light of day knows the daylight is getting longer is truly one of the great wonders of the world. That, and why it never spreads to the other toes.

Pass the talcum powder, please.
