We still have a tonne of snow on the ground. Some actually fell from the sky today. No photo could capture the way the snow clouds slowly covered the sunny sky and then how peacefully the big flakes fell upon the spruce trees. A very special fairy tale moment indeed - especially when signs of spring are about.
The days are getting longer, some snow is melting, the cranes are returning to the marsh, and a few pussy willow buds have showed themselves on the willow trees. Yesterday the sky was so blue and the sun was so warm - I didn't even have to wear snow pants or a warm jacket while cross-country skiing.
Nothing like taking a nose-dive in the cold stuff!
