Finally, the sun has shown up again. In spite of being busy I took a quick walk through the park during my break time. It felt almost like spring... the sunshine, interrupted briefly now and again by a passing cloud, the birds singing and dashing to and fro, the dogs sniffing here and there, for the most part ignoring their owners' calls, a snowdrop here and a crocus or three there emerging from the soaked soil... and yet, February has only begun and winter has not said its last word, I'm sure. But why not enjoy the early signs of spring if they are already here to savour.
