harbinger - one that presages or foreshadows what is to come. (M-W) Gotta keep the readers on their toes. :-)
I know what it means. Just a personal word association for me...I've always used harbinger as the foreshadowing of a negative and heralding as an announcement of a positive, i.e. Frost is the harbinger of winter, Daffodils are the heralds of spring.

Daffodils are my favorite spring flower. They're so happy and sunshiny...little trumpets heralding in the arrival of Spring.
Here in South Jersey, the ground is still covered by snow, after two snow storms of a foot plus. Longing for spring.
The reason daffodils are special to me in the spring is relevant to when I was courting my wife 36 years ago. There were daffodils where my wife lived back then. It was April when we became engaged. Unfortunately my wife today is in a nursing home. I miss living with her.
Thomas and Gator...just let me know when the blue bonnets are blooming...then I'll know we here in the North have not much longer to wait...Jen
No bluebonnets until Mid-March, most likely, but from where we camp to past Thomas' home, they are a phenomonal sight...fields and pastures just completely covered with blue. The ladies of our resort of have a tradition of meeting early one morning during the season and having their pictures taken in the bluebonnets, nude but you can't see anything, and wearing cowboy hats. You can see one of the photos on the Lone Star Resort website.
There were many buds just about to pop out on all the trees. Two weeks from now when I go back, it'll be mostly green!
