We woke up to snow this morning, yet despite that and the 60 F days we had a week or so ago, today is the first day it’s really felt like spring to me. I think it started last evening on a walk. It was cold, dark and broody; I could tell it was snowing on the surrounding mountains and that it would probably soon start snowing on me. I had had a bad day and had gone on a walk after the kids were in bed to clear my mind and burn off some steam. My mood perfectly matched the weather.
I will keep my eyes peeled for catkins! We have seen some fattening buds lately. And dandelions are blooming in our yard! Spring is like a surprise.
