Three weeks can make a huge difference
This is a photo from not long ago:
I had taken it 4 weeks ago when we had a mid-march snow attack. The snow continued for about 10 days. Then, not even three weeks ago, it suddenly got warmer. A LOT.
This is the tree today, watch the flowers on the left:
And this is slightly to the right. See the white petals? Those aren't the first ones - those are the last petals on that tree, he already lost most of them!
And this is to the left. Eight days ago there was nothing to see. Then just two days later: Sakura!
Time flies by, sometimes faster then you think could be possible.
I find spring to be the best season, because of all the new growth bursting into life. It is fantastic.
There really is no easing Mother Nature into anything - she's all wham-bam! lol. We are going through the opposite here - from lovely warm days to freezing hail and strong winds.
Spring, especially such a booming one, is less fun with allergies ;)
Until a few years ago I used to shut myself in for 4 months because even opening a window would result in explosive sneezing. Now thanks to new meds it is down to a few times and hot eyes, but it is still not fun being outside when here is a high amount of allergens.
Oh yes, you are so right! I had forgotten about this downside. Until a few years ago it was the bane of every spring/summer.
I totally sympathize. :(
