Coming back to LIFE

Hope you all had a lovely long weekend.  We had a longer weekend and still continuing  :-) into Tuesday. With the sun, comes an irresistible desire to get outside and 'connect' with the NATURE and be a witness to this wonderful 'coming back to life' event. First came the snow drops and then the crocuses and now the air is warmer and the light is brighter and to top it all the swans are back in the fjord – everything one could ask for :-).



Take a good look at these  leaf buds which  like us, are awaiting spring .


and some already midway in the process of unfolding ....


and can't believe we already had the first grill of the year :-)


Have a wonderful week ahead.

    Thanks for finding my blog and commenting about the cranberries today.

    It would appear that Wisconsin and your part of Norway are on about the same level of "springiness"

    We too had sunshine today - - - finally.

    I haven't stopped thinking of crocuses since your last Sunday's post. We have a few in the backyard, but now I want more.

    Enjoy the rest of your long weekend.
