Spring for a week


We have put our skis on the shelves and slowly got accustomed to the thought that spring is here. Signs of that in our house are besides flowers in the garden and bicycle care also the typical stack of winter clothes and equipments at the staircase waiting for someone who takes them down to the summer-keeping. There is a lot of things to do but I get a very relieved and pleased when it's done every year. Sometimes I get a feeling that this time of the year would be the time for a New Year to start. Now is the time when the nature wake up after the winter and start a new life and we beguine with new things and have expectations of what will come. These photos was taken about a week ago.

But...


...sometimes, like this year we got a setback and the crocuses are now covered with snow again. Almost everyone are complaining about this, but there's nothing we can do about it so I have decided to just except it and do things that I have neglected in the house and if I want to dream of garden chores I just visit some blogs from other places where the spring has come (and stayed!)

Love your new look here. I always like photos of winter too. That's a nice collage you put together of your spring activity. I recently sold my bike - it was always uncomfortable to ride for some reason - and I'm planning to make a new purchase in coming days. Thanks for lighting a fire under me to do that! happy day to you Ella.

Ella, I really like what you have done with your blog. And I like your attitude - there is never any point in fighting against what is!

Our last patch of snow melted today...but like you, we do wake up once or twice to snow covered tulips and pansies, that's not so bad, but when we wake up to snow covered geraniums, we might as well kiss them good bye!
