It will snow here tomorrow in time for Spring
First they called for 10-15cm but I just checked and it's down to 2-4cm. The stores were crazy yesterday in anticipation.

In Ukraine - The Carpathian Biosphere Reserve Narcissus Valley is a unique protected area located 4 km from the Transcarpathian town of Khust. It is the largest valley of wild daffodils in Europe.

The massif has a unique botanical ecosystem and Europe’s largest protected area designed to preserve the massive growth of the narrow-leaved narcissus, which has survived since the post-glacial period. Scientists state that during the ice age huge masses of soil containing the flowers slid down the mountains to the floodplains below. More than 400 plant species can be found in the valley, including the rare short-spurred fragrant orchid, Siberian iris, and white cinquefoil.

We've been enjoying lovely birdsong for weeks now, but I saw my first robin yesterday - a really nice chubby one, with a very red breast.

Also some cute little very small birds, mostly light yellow.

The pelicans are back!! The first one was spotted at the weir on Thursday morning at 6:15 a.m.!

No lilacs in my front yard yet, but they are elsewhere - like Ukraine.
