Well, it's sunny today and the whole week, it has been pretty sunny. In fact, it's officially spring and some even think it already is summer since the sun seems to be setting later, lately.
It's pitch black at 17:00 here but not lately. The sun is still shining though it's almost 19:00 pm. The bulbs are awake and once again, am awaken by the blackbird's soft chirping around 5 am. It puts a smile on my sleepy head.
However, weeks before this, I had been complaining about not having an official winter at all. We did have one wintery night that melted so soon some time in December while Canada, Switzerland, Austria, Germany, France and the Scandanavian countries were blessed with snow.
They may beg to differ because some even had blizzard and storms and death tolls but imho, it's not officially winter unless it actually snowed.
I was expecting extreme winter this year because of that extra hot, hot summer we had last year. It seemed to be the pattern here, extreme summer = extreme winter. Well, it was indeed an extreme winter but then elsewhere and not where we are so while the rest of the world was complaining being buried in snow, we watched with green eyes and the thought that we could somehow, play our sleds on a frozen mere in front of our houses which barely happens and this year, one again, never did.
Up North, perhaps they did have more than we did and some must have gotten on their skating shoes but not where we were. We had but a short lived - a day of snowing and three days of ice and another day for bonus a week after that.
I actually caught a flu due to playing in the snow but even if it spoiled me a week or two, I still do want it to snow! Heck, yeah, winter isn't winter unless there is snow!
Unfortunately, it seems to be cut short, it's already Spring says the birds and some bugs and the bees are already awake collecting nectar from Snow Clocks that have already bloomed in some open field. The bulbs in my backyard seem to be still warming up and I can't wait till they do, bud.
That's the good thing about it,
we don't have to shovel any
well, my hubby did a bit
and sprinkled salt in front of the house
but nothing much of a bother
Frost in winter - how beautiful... ;-)
Here in NORTHERN Germany we had 15 degrees today. Spring, garden day! I enjoyed the day, but I think a real winter would be important for nature.
Get well soon with the flu!
