HIP HIP HIP HOORAY!
The green woodpeckers were laughing their heads off Saturday morning, and for good reason. The sun came out!
Mid-morning I went out to soak up some of this beautiful golden light. Walking along the edge of the woods I had to unzip my jacket – warmth! A few minutes later I peeled off my gloves. Then I noticed a sun-deprived elderly couple standing ahead of me, simply gazing towards the sun:
“Glorious” she said.
“We’ve had to wait so long” he said.
I knew exactly how they felt and continued my walk, smiling.
I passed the garden club sculpture…
And walked a while by the water…
The rest of the day was spent tidying a corner of my garden where the snow had already melted… no flowers yet though!
It’s great that you had a sunny day to enjoy. Here we are still waiting for the snow to melt for the last time.
Hope you at least get some sunshine too, even if there is still snow. The winter here was so grey that we are very grateful for clear skies, even if it does mean frosty nights.
There is so much joy in the photos. Times (weather) are changing! Have a wonderful week! Uta
Yes, Uta, you’re right – pure JOY! Have a wonderful (and sunny) week too!
Its definitely turning – the unremitting gloom is lifting!
Yes thank goodness. Seems to be warming up in the UK too.
No sun only more snow and gray here. Our sun has been on cold days still. Waiting for that warm breeze.
I hope it reaches you soon, Donna. The breeze is still rather chilly here, but the sun makes up for it!
“HIP HIP HIP HOORAY!”
For fleecy clouds that made your day.
Thanks Steve. More fleecy clouds and sun today too!
There is nothing like a little sunshine to warm the heart and raise the spirits
Absolutely. And being in the garden again was wonderful too. 😀
So glad the sun and blue sky found you Cathy! That sky in the first photo is really a gorgeous deep blue–seems like you could gaze into it for a long time. What water is that–a river through your land?
Thanks Susie. Feel so much better for some sun at last. The water is a canal (originally a small river that was redirected into the canal) and is the only waterway linking the Main and the Danube rivers, as the Danube is then navigable all the way to the Black Sea. We see barges and a few holiday cruise boats too, but speed is restricted to protect the banks, which are mostly beautiful nature reserves.
Yes! Yesterday I felt the same, in south central Colorado! There is MUD, I saw a honeybee, and it smelled like spring….. Thank you for this sweet post!
And thank you for your lovely comment, Margaret! We may see some bees soon too, as the pussy willow behind our house is just beginning to open!
Good to see the blue sky in your photographs, lets hope it stays for a few more days.
Oh, I hope so too. It feels so good to wake up to sunlight!
Doesn’t the sunshine make a massive difference. We had a lovely sunny Saturday and it was so nice to get out and about : )
It really does – I suddenly have a new lease of life! Glad you got some sun too… we all need it badly. Believe it or not, I actually got slightly sunburnt on Saturday, I was that pale and sun-deprived!
It’s lovely to see blue skies and sunshine again – about time too!
I was in desperate need of some sun, so I’m very happy!
Absolutely lovely Cathy! Just seeing these pics and picking up your happiness makes me happy too! 😀 😀 Yay! Spring is just around the corner!
You’re such a sweet person Strawberryindigo – thank you. 😀 We have sun for the third day in a row! 😀 😀 Hope you’re getting lots of blue skies too.
Don’t your spirits just soar on a day like this? How wonderful. It won’t be long now before the flowers will be blooming! 🙂
I’m hoping my snowdrops will open now. They’ve been waiting patiently for weeks now for the sun to come out!
…and he’s coming out today… (or better still came!!) The last few days were so lovely with all the sunshine!
Hasn’t it been wonderful! 😀
Oh yeah!
Lovely pics 🙂
Thanks Eddy. 😀
