I'm still counting the days, the winter days I mean, but something has changed already, don't you think?
Even I, who fear winter, admit it.
And I must also admit that this change began to be felt since the beginning of last month. It's not even from yesterday or the day before.
It's since the beginning of the new year, and that beginning was certainly not chosen by chance anyway.
Everything actually started much earlier.
We should probably note this at all costs.
December and the winter solstice. This is where the change begins.
Though in this hard time, this deep winter then, one is unable to think of change. Not able to think about life at all, if you ask me.
So at this time of year, I prefer not to think. I hibernate, as I told you, my brain does the same because it survives. And it waits.
Then the New Year came and something suddenly happened. More on a mental level.
Someone bought travel photos from my stock agency portfolio. Can you imagine? In the middle of winter, someone bought travel photos!
And then I remembered. People are already waking up to life. 6 months before summer, they are already preparing for vacations and trips.
The New Year is like a psychological border. If we get over it, everything changes, everything gets better.
Then the bird came to my window. Maybe to show me that there is still life out there, in this winter. That not everything is over. That on the contrary, things are moving, things are getting better.
Then I noticed something else. A few weeks ago it was getting dark at 4:30pm. At 17 it was already pitch black. Today it is still almost light at 6pm. Wow, what progress so unnoticed happened!
Snowdrops bloomed.
Did you know that the Italian word for snowdrop is "bucaneve", which literally means "pierce the snow". Is not this name of this flower so aptly chosen, because even its coming into the world every year is so symbolic? The flower, the life, makes its way through the snow and death.
But it's not just this plant. After the fruiting bushes that I showed you, there are now other plants in the garden that have already bloomed. And today I saw a lonely dandelion. Yes, a yellow-flowered dandelion in the middle of the meadow. In the middle of winter.
Our three cats... enjoying the sun like I told you. But Blackie is on heat!
He's the only one who hasn't been neutered, and now I'm not having it easy on the poor kitty. But this happens in the middle of February! God, winter is by no means a dead season 😹
The other animals? Insects? We had to put back the net on the bedroom window because a few flies had already managed to get in. (I don't know which is worse - a cat or a fly getting inside 😄)
So, I'm hopeful. I sit and wait, yes. But it's not as hopeless as it used to be.

No seasons is "hopeless" lmao :)))
I am so much waiting for the spring to come, my favorite season! Once again, though, nature is so different each year. Who knows what this spring will bring to us...

No one knows, of course. Perhaps the usual plus some surprises - that would be the best case.
Come to think of it, the greatest hope lies in waiting for spring. Once it comes, hope disappears because it is clear that there is nothing else to come but winter, and the circle continues in an endless repetition of hope and expectation.

Woah, everything has already blossomed with you!
I'm afraid that forced hibernation will not occur in March/April, because as I calculated, the seasons have been delayed by a month in the last couple of years.
Travel agencies are getting ready for first minute arrangements, be ready to sell all out!🍀
Nothing has bloomed for me, thankfully, because that's not good for nature. As you say yourself, the seasons come late anyway. But I have long been making posts that are not typical for the season - I show photos from other seasons. Anyone can post photos of spring in spring and summer in summer 😃
!PIZZA
Wrong word choice - over there, at yours place. 😏
Reason of making them.(:
It is all about the arrival of new season .The blow of full groom and very energy to see.
Yes, you are right. It is about a lot of energy and power, a blow even, which can only be observed in nature. It is difficult even for human consciousness to understand sometimes, because our development, the development of man, requires many years, while that of nature happens very quickly and repeats itself every year.
Beautiful flowers, it seems that the actors are worse than flies😬😬, However I am sure everything will be resolved properly, winter 🤔, I really want to see that
Ha ha, yes, they are worse than flies, because I have to clean after them, and I don't have to clean after the flies (it's just hard to catch them and get them out, harder than getting a cat out 😃)
You really don't know what you wish for 😄
🤣🤣🤣,Seeing what shouldn't be seen, yet curious is the price of dying😅
