This morning I stepped onto my terrace, to do a bit of spring winter cleaning. Oh boy, there´s a lot to clean when you have spent Christmas Holidays mainly indoors. Remnants of bird food, cat food, New Year rockets...It was 8 degrees Celsius, the sun was shining(?), the birds were chirping(??), the first snowdrops had made their appearence (???), and I had a sneezing fit. I now know why. Willows, hazels and alder trees are in full bloom, at the beginning of January. No snow in sight, only a bit of rain, not enough that I won´t have to water my outdoor plants, no freeze (well, maybe a bit of it during nights next week), only sunshine and lots of chinook winds these days. So while  North America is suffering from cold spells and heavy snowstorms, people in Middle Europe might as well unpack their spring clothes. Something has to be seriously wrong with our climate!

I still have roses in my garden - we are just beginning to get some colder weather but the heating has hardly been on.

But it´s supposed to be winter, with snow and frost! It´s ten minutes to the next ski lift for me, but without snow no skiing!
