the wiiiiiiiiiind!


wow! i'm glad today is my resting day. it's drizzly outside, still not so cold, but the wind! it's gusting up to at least 40 mph i guessing. good day not to be out there.

so far this winter i've been super lucky! we haven't had any snow. the temperatures have stayed above freezing, and some days have been so spring-like that our tulips are starting to put up shoots, the rose bushes have started growing leaves again, and there are little crocuses blooming in the yard. our grass has stayed green. and the best part is, i've been able to be outside just about every day!

the following photos are examples of a past winter and this winter:

































the wind is absolutely howling outside now. i'm going to curl up with a good book today and count my blessings that i have a roof over my head.

=========================

later same day: i just figured out we are under an alert for severe weather across europe.
here is the METEOSWISS site.

we are in for gusts of 60-90 km/h (37 -55 mph) during the day, then 80-100 km/h, (49-62 mph) in the evening, with possible gusts friday of 120-140 km/h. (74 -86 mph) wow.

tomorrow is "ski day" with my son's school. i'm kinda hoping they cancel, you know?
