Lengthening days...

It may still be January, but the days are lengthening and here it has been warm and feels springlike...

Sigh... Here it feels anything but spring-like. Last week, when I arrived home after my holiday, I had to shovel 60-70cm of snow off of my car. The world around here is very, very white.

Thanks for sharing that picture! FWIW, in the Celtic/Pagan calendar, Feb 1 is the holiday of "first planting," and the time at which the lengthening days first become noticable (even in Britain, which is NOT a mediterranian climate!). Depending on the weather, I've sometimes seen the plum trees bloom by now, though usually they're in full flower closer to Presidents' Day.

So yes, Celebrate Spring! Yay!
