The Outpost Cafe / A sure sign of Spring......

How can I for sure tell its Spring? For me it has to do with the Sun's position in the the sky relative to my house and the street I live on - which is coincidentally the same axis as Seattle Tacoma International Airport. I can always tell its Spring when I'm outside and the shadow of a large commercial airliner i.e. Boeing 757 in the landing pattern passes between the Sun and me! They're typically down to about 500 feet in altitude with gear down on approach, you can see the shadow coming up the street at you! Kinda freaks you out at first. If all is quiet after about 30 seconds you can hear hear the wind vortices the plane has made.........a bizarre whoosing sound that comes out of nowhere!
Anybody else? What marks Spring's arrival where you live?
