According to the calendar, today is the first full day of Spring in the Northern Hemisphere.
The day is more or less springlike, at least weather-wise. We had warmer weather a couple of weeks ago and last week, while the storm wasn't as intense as the forecasters predicted, snow fell and the temperature dropped, leaving sheets of ice on sidewalks and streets.
Tomorrow is supposed to be almost wintry, and there might be a warm-up next week.
I have noticed a few trees and flowers budding. Soon we'll see more. Now, if I move out of this country--as so many of us said we would if you-know-who was elected--I could go to the Netherlands, just to have a morning commute like this:
Then again, in a few weeks, I'll find vistas like this not so far from my apartment:
Crocuses, lilies, irises cherry blossoms: They're all wonderful. Best of all is biking by them.
Even if her "bike" has a 1200cc engine, I like the way the "Steel Cowgirl" welcomed the season last year:
Happy Spring Equinox, everybody!
