Heidi's little world

I think its really amazing how there is always a 'sense' about a season. Right now its wet, cold, and supposed to snow, but although its as cold as winter, it 'feels' like spring is on its way, or has almost arrived! A few flowers are peaking out of the ground, some trees actually have buds beginning to show, and the birds have started singing! You don't realize how dead and silent winter is until you hear those chirps as you walk around town, or at six in the morning as you lie in bed!

Its so different to Malta really. In Malta it just goes from hot to cold, summer to winter. There isn't the transition into a season like there is here. I like it though, it makes you appreciate each season as you note the differences, and you realize that you are ready for the change.
