Spring!

I love spring! I always have. It gives me a feeling of "spring i benen" and "pirr i kroppen"!

(I'm sure there is an equivalence in English to describe those feelings, I just can't think of them right now, feel free to suggest).

Spring is the best season of them all. And if you're Swedish you know your seasons - spring, summer, fall and winter being distinctively different.

Two pictures from my back yard this sunny afternoon.

I completely agree with you - spring is the very best. I remember taking walks in the forest where I lived (it definitely would be nice if the US had Allemansrätt) and hearing blackbirds singing. Oh, I miss that now. Here are a couple of very unprofessional translations:
Spring i benen - run in the legs
Pirr i kroppen - tingling in the body

There is this feeling, spring feeling, when you can smell spring in the air, see all the buds om the trees, see the tulips in your garden. VERY NICE!!! Love that, too...And this year day light savings time starts early, mar.11!!! Soon, soon...

Ann Marie - Yes! I do miss "allemansrätt" here too... we're really spoiled that way in Sweden... Thanks for the translations! ;-)

Fia - tack! Jag håller på och försöker lära mig!

Annika - Yes - I love the smell of spring! Aaah! Now the day light savings is another story... have to do a blog post about that...

Victoria - jag tror inte det... men vem vet... jag är fullkomligt urusel på växter - inga gröna händer här inte. Det är i alla fall fantastiskt vackra träd som är alldeles vita just nu.
