- I can hang clothes outside on the clothes line
- Tiny blue flowers poke thru the trashy weeds in the yard
- I cut back on the layers of clothes I wear
- Only 1 pair of gloves instead of 2, and no need to wear a hat (some days)
- I can turn off my gas stove for several hours
- I can take the brown monster sleeping bag off my bed
- The roads and mud start to dry out
- I don't have to wear my rubber boots to school
- Lots of walnuts, hazelnuts, and almonds for sale at the bazar
- Birds are chirping in the morning; and baby lambs bah-bah-ing
- Daylight comes earlier and stays later; fewer cloudy days
- People seem in a good mood.
The snow from a recent overnight storm has already melted. But the slog to school that first morning meant few kids attended plus the school had no heat. I did capture one brave little boy as he made his way ahead of me. It's no wonder that Novrus is so anticipated. It's been a long Winter.
