It has been a cold and very long winter. In fact, I have been told that it is the coldest winter for about fifty years! And this morning snow is still pouring down. Hopefully it will not last. The Spring is on the way. Winter has to let go of its grip. The Snow Bells and Crocuses are already out. The Daffodils or Easter Lilies are still not in bloom, but they are budding. The snow that is falling today is smelting on the ground. I think the winter has eventually lost its grip! Even if it is still snowing in Bergen today, the Spring is definitely here!
