Here in northern Germany March is more a lamb than a lion. Snowdrops and winter aconites are blooming, crocuses appear and what was grey before is now colourful and bright.
We had rain this winter, a little frost, but only a trace of snow – not enough to build a snowman or go sleigh-riding, and that´s what we did every winter when I was a child.
Now we´re waiting for spring. The blackbirds sing their sweet wistful tunes when the sun sets, it was mild and sunny today – so spring can´t be that far away.

This definitely makes me want to visit! Sounds lovely, Hanni.
Hanni,
Believe it or not, our weather in San Antonio, Texas is similar to yours in North Germany! I’m looking out my window and see green everywhere, leafing trees and blossoming plants. Hard not to believe in “climate change”.
