First day of Spring?

OMG, I didn't write anything for 4 long weeks, I'm really a bad blogger!!
Today is 21st March, it should be the first day of spring...but we have maybe +3ÂșC and the meteorologists say that it will be very cold again in the next few days.
So, in order to forget for a moment about this ugly weather, I will tell you about the most warm day we had so far, a sunday about three weeks ago.
That day was a great day, sunny and warm just as the first day of spring should be. I know, we are only at the beginning of spring, but it was beautiful to forget cold and bad weather lying in the sun for a long sunday afternoon!
It would have been a pity to stay at home on such a beautiful day, so we took our bicycles and we went out in the sun. We went to one of the town parks, not far from our house.
The sight was stunning: the bright and completely clear sky emphasized the colors of the last winter berries and of the first spring flowers. The fields were a carpet of little birdeye speedwell!
We planned with our friends a meeting at the park, but we arrived early so I had the time to take some pics of my items in the sunlight. I have to say that the sunlight really preserves the right item colors, without having to play around with Photoshop!
Our friends and their little childrens arrived about an hour later. We spent all the afternoon at the park, we girls had a nice chat and the boys enjoyed their mountain bikes. :o)
This is how a spring day should really be!!
So, let's pretend that day is today, and hope tomorrow will be better! :o)
