This is the time to begin looking, noticing and utilizing spring things as they come out of hibernation, grow out of hiding and are influenced with a changing photoperiod. Much of what happens is an organism’s developmental response to the length of light periods and dark periods. Animals and plants, many of them, have systems that cue the organism into growth, development, flowering, nesting, migrating and mating.
