Posted by Robin on 1 March 2025 206 Comments

We’re celebrating with our usual open thread poll. Talk about anything you like — the fragrance you’re wearing today, anything you have blooming nearby (the snow drops are out in my yard!) or the spring flower you are awaiting most anxiously, whatever.

Many of us in the Northern Hemisphere are counting down the days until spring (53 days until the equinox, 35 days until meteorological spring, as of Saturday) but meanwhile, here we are with our usual lazy weekend open thread. (Next Saturday, by the way, will be the winter reading poll.)
