Bloom

People have some weird traditions, like that groundhog day routine where they lift a terrified groundhog in front of flashing cameras and applauding crowds. If they want to know when spring starts, they could simply check with me.

Spring officially blooms when you slip off your headphones, smile ever so softly, touch your hair, run your eyes from my face to my waist and ask how long I'm going to be in town for.
