It’s that time of year again. It’s that type of weather again. It’s JANUARY!
For us, this is usually one of the coldest months of the year. However, for many people, winter is a nightmare: snow, ice, hail, minus degrees… Covered by beautiful snow blankets, the sidewalks and streets become dangerous skating rinks and… going outside can be hazardous!
EUROPE
The freezing weather across Europe is showing no signs of easing, and many countries are reporting their coldest winters in decades.
The heavy snowfalls and sub-zero temperatures as low as minus 20 degrees Celsius have taken many by surprise and caused widespread disruption: blocked roads and traffic chaos, some airports closed for hours and flights suffered delays. Numerous deaths across Europe are being attributed to the weather conditions.
Spring has returned! The Earth is like a child that
knows poems.
Rainer Maria Rilke
In the Spring the trees wake up from the cold!. . .

I like to see the beautiful green trees, the birds flying and singing,
everyone happy with a big smile on their faces, playing and talking with
their friends in the gardens. Spring is a great season of the year!

wake up with the sun shining on my face.

favourite season of the year. The good weather makes me happier!

Haven’t you been yearning for springtime, too?…
In June as many as a dozen species may burst their buds on a single
day. No man can heed all of these anniversaries; no man can ignore
all of them.
Aldo Leopold
Spring in verses,
