leaves.

The lilac trees bud and bloom filling the air with a wonderful sweet fragrance. I love lilacs and look forward to the blooming season. It seems that when the lilacs bloom, we get a lot of rain.
The leaf buds begin to swell. Almost overnight, the trees
will be clothed with leaves again.

The biggest sign of all is this: Thousands of little green-houses or hot-houses pop up outside of stores. Varieties of vegetable plants and flowers take up all the available room on the shelves. You go into farm stores, and the scent of seed potatoes, onions, and bulbs greet your nose.
