Last week, spring was in full bloom
With no ice on the lake
And swimming dogs in the sunset.
Today, it’s the spring equinox
And we celebrate with a silver dawn
And lots of snow.
The swans formed a heart
That seemed to be saying:
Don’t complain – just enjoy!
For more silver skies, please visit: Skywatch.

It’s been a topsy-turvy weather week for sure, but beautiful no matter what. I love the tug of war as the seasons change. That first photo sums up how I feel at the spring equinox – full of hope.
As an aside, are they really grey geese? They look more like whooper swans (sångsvan).

I thought they were swans, but then a Swedish woman said they were grey geese. You might be right – they DO look more swan-like, don’t they?

“then a Swedish woman said they were grey geese I had to laugh at this, remembering a Swedish woman (a teacher as well) who told me that Sydney was the capital of Australia and got quite shirty that I wouldn’t believe her.
I’m pretty sure these are young whooper swans (still with juvenile grey brown plumage), especially looking at the beak colour and the length of their necks. But then what would I know? I’m just a silly woman who thinks Canberra is the capital of Australia… 🙂

Winter seems to be having a hard time leaving in much of this country too. Many of our snow-bird neighbors are wondering if they should extend their stay (the end of March is usually a huge exodus from Florida and the other snow bird states). You make winter look so beautiful I almost wish I could experience it. Almost.
