Real spring (not false spring) has arrived in early February
I have lived in a variety of places with hard winters, where occasionally in February it seemed like spring but was actually false spring, followed by more, sometimes much more, hard winter.
Here is not one of those places.
The Winter Olympics are happening now. Some places share Winter Olympics-type weather, some people prefer that, some people tolerate it, with the promise of spring arriving soon or eventually. Just not yet.
Some places, like this one, rarely have anything like hard winter, though on the other hand we know that hard summer will arrive eventually, just not yet.
The birds and the plants know. So do I.
If you are somewhere in the Northern Hemisphere where winter has more than a month to go, spring is coming. If you’ve never believed anything I’ve said, believe that.
