A Sunny Day

36 Comments

In a reversal of the very unpredictable March weather we’ve been having, we recently had a sunny spring day.

Since it was a windless 16 C (61 F), sitting in the sun was wonderfully relaxing, somnolent, even …

… as I began to feel drowsy while enjoying a few minutes at my favourite bench.

And although there is still snow in the mountains, we had lovely sun and soft air here in the valley.

Happy Sunday.

  1. Since we got home midnight Tuesday/Wednesday, the weather has been unusually kind here across the pond. Sunshine all day every day, warm for March but with a nice crisp feel to the breeze and then chilly evenings. Not seen a spot of rain yet! And none of the typical March variations which you’re experiencing.

    1. Wow! It sounds like you’re experiencing a perfect spring! Here in British Columbia we have been getting a lot of rain while the rest of the country has been getting snow rather than rain with wildly swinging temperatures, too, sometimes by as much as 25C. Literally 20C one day and -5C the next!

      After three years of terrible forest fires, especially here in the west, rain and lots of snow melt isn’t a bad thing at all, though. The water table had been very low and the forests terribly dry. Enjoy your lovely spring; that’s so great to come home to after your wonderful visit to Philippines. Cheers.

      1. Well as you know, we don’t get the extremes over here. But these few days have been lovely. Went for a long walk in the Spring warmth today, kind of reminded me that I shouldn’t diss my homeland so much. England at its best, as it goes. A lovely welcome home. You’re getting the kind of extremes that we just don’t see over here. Makes your summer even more wonderful…

        1. It sounds like your homeland is surprising you a little. 😉 The problem here is that the regular March extremes have become very extreme, a likely symptom of climate change, I would say, but yes, summers are pretty great. My mother was English and as a result I spent quite a few childhood summers there, mainly in Sussex. She loved the English springs and summers which I think had more to do with homesickness rather than the weather, however.

    1. Thanks, Allan. The parks were very busy with kids, dogs, people just sitting on the benches and even picnickers. I hadn’t seen it that busy since about the end of October. And yes, those clouds looked much more like summer than spring. Cheers.

    1. Thank you very much, Tricia. It was a wonderful day, especially after the major rainfall we had. Those clouds were quite far over the mountains and never arrived in our area. They were probably dropping snow up there. We happily didn’t have the heat build or other conditions necessary for a tornado. Cheers.

    1. It really was lovely and the parks and footpaths were busier than I had seen them since late October, probably. Lots of people sitting in the sun reading or picnicking, others throwing balls for their dogs, lots of kids running around. It was great!
