see ya

This just doesn't feel right.

I shouldn't be posting these photos.

They are so twelve days ago.

These say winter lingers but today, and for many days, there has been not a trace. The long hours of steady sunshine with the odd day of rain have made us almost forget that winter even was.

I did say almost. One week ago the temperature was still dropping below freezing (0°C/32°F) at night.

(Hello, Mrs. Duck.)

But even as I type it is 20°C (68°F) outside, ceiling fans are whirring inside, the trees are lime and leafy and water is dripping slurpishly from flower boxes and baskets.

So long for now, ice and snow. Summer is here.
For a good time, not a long time.
