We had the warmest winter I have ever seen- hardly any snow at all North of the alps. It is the first March I could go without socks
Saturday I went for a ten mile hike and saw cherry blossoms, little yellow primula (we call them "keys of heaven"), little wild blue anemones. Everything is green, the trees start budding, bright yellow forsythia is everywhere. The farm kitties were outside in the fields dozing in front of mouse holes.
I am so sorry for all my American friends- but here it is spectacular.
