I know it's silly but...

... I just looked out of the window, amazed, and thought "Whoa, now this really is Spring light", and then I realised that it actually officially is Spring now. And it feels like it shows.

That's ridiculous, of course, because even though today is indeed the day of the equinox, it's not like the past days have been several hours shorter and you'd really see whether it's March 18 or March 20 or what. Especially since all the Spring flowers have been here for weeks now. But there really is that "Wow, that's a Spring sky and Spring light!" effect right now.

Maybe because the past week has been mostly cloudy, and because a week ago, the sun was still low enough to disappear behind our uphill neighbours' house - and now, it has climbed high enough to shine through our downstairs windows at 4 pm. So it's rather the lack of light of the past couple of days than the actual light of this day? IDK. It doesn't really make sense. But there you go.

Anyway, Happy beginning of Spring! One of my favourite seasons, and currently looking glorious. WOO HOO!

[Brought to you in lieu of all the posts I should have written in the past weeks... another catch-up is in order, I fear. Someday. When it rains and I've got some extended computer time. Perhaps?]

Still not springlike here by any stretch of imagination, but the idea that it's getting closer makes me hopeful! Such a long, hard winter!

Yay, happy Spring! It's been gorgeous today here too, after several days of chilly blowing rain. We have so much to do in the house and yard, I feel like Mr. Mole in Wind in the Willows: "O bother Spring cleaning!".

Felix must be loving it! What he remembers of last Spring must seem a very long time ago, and now he's so much bigger and more capable, there's so much more he can do - it's going to be a wonder to you too, watching him learn the delights of the season. Woohoo, enjoy!

I hear you on the Spring cleaning!

Yep, Felix' reactions to Spring are part of What I Should Be Posting About if I weren't so busy with, well, Spring and Felix and the house and everything. Thank you! :)

Oh yes, after your Arctic winter any sign of spring must come as a huge relief to you! Hang in there!
(Last year, winter didn't properly end here until late May. Of course this year, we had practically no winter at all! So I'm almost surprised that I'm nonetheless so happy that it's properly spring now!)
