A strange time of year

Frankendael in March

Last year we had to wait for the beginning of March for our first snow and then on the 2nd the heaviest fall for 20 years.

This March again it has been snowing. Every night, or early in the morning, we have a light sprinkling of snow. The streets and cars and gardens are white. The sun gets up and melts the snow. There is a very strong cold wind and in one corner, in the wind, it can be freezing, in another, in the sun and out of the wind, lovely and warm. Every day now... for six days!
