Oh, dear, this sounds like more effects of global warming. The ticks have 
had just enough cold that they "think" winter has come and gone, and now 
they are emerging as though it is early spring. Having one crop of those 
darn things in a year is quite enough for most of us! Some of our flower 
species are doing the same thing, but after the cold wind of last night and 
hard freeze, I don't expect to see too much more activity, if any, among the 
plants. I spotted 6 or 7 different blooms yesterday on a short walk to the 
Acadia Student Union building:  red clover, white yarrow, common 
dandelion, fall dandelion, shepherd's purse, possibly a sprig of fleabane in 
bud, and some common mustard. A week ago tomorrow I also saw on 
another route to the university in bloom: cheeses, buttercup and white 
clover. JET
