FIRST DAY OF SPRING!!!!!

It's only 1c now but it's supposed to go up to +8c this afternoon. The furnace is still pumping out the heat and there are clouds holding back the sunlight BUT I'LL TAKE IT!! I can see about half of my patio stones and yesterday Kazi considered going out back with some hot water and getting rid of the remaining snow, maybe have a little "patio" time! (She didn't)

Here I am out for an "urban hike" yesterday. The day started off at -8c but warmed up gradually. That weird military-looking installation is NOT London's missile defence system...no, it's actually a fountain in downtown London that usually looks like this:

Yeah...spring has not exactly SPRUNG yet...but then there's this...

...and where there's snowdrops, there's hope! (I took this photo from inside through a window as they are still surrounded by large piles of snow so it's not the best quality.)

I'm feeling a little low right now and could really use some more signs of spring - do you have any??
