It Feels Like Spring

29 Comments

We’ve rotated enough in our turn around the sun such that in the last week or so, spring has, creeping on little kitten feet, arrived. The wind, while still cool, is soft and mellow and the sun feels fresh.

The sun peeks through bare branches that will soon be leafy.

There isn’t any foliage yet, but it won’t be long.

An azalea bud.

Next week our temperatures are supposed to climb again. Yay!

Happy Sunday.

  1. It does, at long last. Normally I like Winter…I like the cold and snow but this year it has just been mostly all wet and dull. So glad that the buds are starting to come out in my garden and the birds are busy building nests.

    1. I worked in the subarctic (Yellowknife, NWT) so I learned about cold and snow. I am in the southern part of the country now and in an area that is mostly rainy and overcast in the winter. I much prefer that to the -35C of where I worked, though! I am delighted to see the spring signs now, too.

  4. Keep those spring photos coming Lynette. While we still have snow in yards here, the fields and roads are bare. It is nice to be able to walk with out micro spikes on. Sure hope we get some spring rains. Cheers. Allan

  8. In Finland the weather has been warm (over 0 degrees of C) and we are lacking of snow. I hope the spring is on it´s way and soon the birds are arriving here.

    1. I understand that Finland has had a somewhat warmer winter? Generally, Canada’s winter this time has been much more normal after some very warm ones due to climate change. Nevertheless, it’s good to see spring’s arrival! Cheers.

    1. I find the overcast to be the toughest to deal with, I think. Here in the valley we get winter inversions that keep the cloud layers in place like a lid on a pot. In NWT it was cold and the days were very short of course, only six hours in January, but we often had sun. I hope you get some soon. 😎
