Title: Lilacs are blooming!!!
Post by: wisconsinteacher on May 07, 2012, 06:45:35 PM
I know everyone has a sign that tells them it is prime time.  For me it is when the lilacs bloom.  To me, I have had better luck calling in birds when this happens than any other time of the spring.  What is your sign?
