Which is one reason I spent Sunday's walk looking upward. It's much more beautiful above than below at the moment.
The church on the corner stands serenely under a pale spring sky:
Ever the opportunists, they have seized the 40° day and are budding out like crazy.
Even the pines have put on gladness, and are shooting off little green fireworks for joy that spring is near.
Things are definitely looking up.
Check out our weather forecast for the next few days:
If the weatherman is right, I see a bike ride in my very near future. (I shall ignore the dark and snowy end of the photo and concentrate on that one bright blue square to the left.)
Yes, things are definitely looking up.

Our weather has made a turn too.....the sun has been out and the rain and wind have stepped back, this last weekend has been beautiful. I haven't had any freakishly low temps for my temperature blanket though, maybe I should borrow some of yours! Theres been loads of cycling Going on round our area, lots of Lycra, sometimes good, sometimes not so good! Hope you get that cycle in.x
ReplyDeleteI have sunshine pouring in through my window this morning and the weather is positively mild for the time of the year. I may even do some gardening later on. I hope you manage to get your bike out and that threatened snow never materialises :)
ReplyDeleteYay! A heat wave! :)
ReplyDeleteI am very glad your tempts are getting warmer....it's been such a horribly cold winter...and I know Spring will make all our spirits soar.
Blessings always
Such beautiful signs of spring in the air, how wonderful is that after this long hard winter. Keep looking upwards Sue, and watch that sun gaining in warmth and brightness! And enjoy your bike rides very soon! Joy x
ReplyDeleteHello Sue, I wish I had signs of Spring about.. None here yet I am sad to say. Loved seeing your photos of Spring..The steeple is lovely. It looks like today will be a lovely day for you. It is suppose to be a lovely day there today. I look forward to that sunshine. Hugs Judy
ReplyDeleteCold and foggy here in southwest Louisiana. I need to do some yard work this week before we fly across the "puddle" to check on our apartment project. Our Dutch friends have had far better weather this winter than we have had down here (or you have had up there). Enjoy biking this week! Hope all your paths are clear. Linda@Wetcreek Blog
ReplyDeleteWe saw a huge sea turtle in the Keys and I thought of your sweet bike riding turtle. THen we had a pretend turtle in our condo at the top of the stairs…I talked to him.. Guess I missed my cats!
ReplyDeleteOH, I feel your pain. Every time it warms up here it turns cold again, but NOTHING like what you're dealing with. Enjoy your ride.
ReplyDeleteMonday looks like a wonderful March day. Our forecast is very similar - I plan to get out in the sun as much as possible! Enjoy your week. Juliex
ReplyDeleteCrazy .....hot one day, cool the next. We could really use a bit more rain, but I'll enjoy the sun while we have it.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy that bike ride.
We have had the most blissful sunshine here these past 3 days Sue and I don't want to look at the forecast in case I jinx it ;o)
ReplyDeleteIt's been delightfully sunny here in the UK, although very wet underfoot still.
ReplyDeleteI'm kinda sad that I need to actively wish for the cold weather to stay away ... you know how much I love frost and snow but below zero temps now would be devastating to the new plant and animal life that's emerging.
I do hope it continues to warm up under blue skies where you are x
I'm so glad your weather is improving. Your photos look great, I can see the changes in the landscape already.
ReplyDeleteWe have new leaves sprouting and new weeds popping up in my garden, which is a mess by the way. Hugs to you and enjoy your beautiful day.

It's so clearly Wisconsin! Yesterday, people had their car windows all the way down--as though we had to drink in all the fresh air and sunshine that we could in one day! ...and then snow this afternoon. Oh well. Yesterday gave us hope that it won't be long. =)
ReplyDeleteMy Monday was Pick of the Week, too! And then snow today. I see you got on your bike... ME TOO! And we did it together!!! (But half a country apart...)
ReplyDeleteSue...even though I'm opposite of most and it's the lower temps and the snow that bring me smiles, I am glad that you're enjoying these little hints that spring is most certainly just around the corner. It's the arrival of fall that makes my heart feel as yours does now!! xo
ReplyDeleteWe are lucky! We have had lovely weather, sunny all day. Of course there is still a cold wind from the north most of the time, but if you sit in the shade it is quite nice. Last year the weather was awful. So I am amazed how nice it is this year. I am very thankful!!!!!!!! Enjoy every sunny day. Regula
ReplyDeleteYesterday, in Middle England, the temperature rose to a beautiful 16C. The trees are just starting into leaf and blossom, Daffodils, Primula and Hyacinth are all smiling in the sun. I wish you the very same thing Sue.
