mild serene spring day

This post was planned for the end of March but it was sent to draft until early April. There at least have been a few days with the possible hint mild serene spring days.

'It had been a mild serene spring day - one of those days, which towards the end of March or the beginning of April, rise shining over the earth as heralds of summer. It was drawing to an end now; but the evening was even warm...' Charlotte Bronte Jane Eyre

And on such a day how lovely to sit outside and read...

  1. I did manage to sit outside at the weekend and admire my newly (and patchily) mown lawn. However, today I would need wellies and an umbrella. Never mind, Spring is getting here. Slowly.

  3. Much of the US has had summer-like temperatures this week, while we struggle to get much above freezing. The ice on the lake disappeared yesterday, so we are slowly making progress toward blissful days of outdoor reading. I can't wait!

    1. JoAnn - At least the whole of the UK has pretty much had the same weather. Hope it warms up with you soon, hurrah to melting ice.

  5. 'Frost had begun in the third week of january, and from that date until the beginning of April it did not leave us for a day. All the time the same dark wind came with it, blowing bitterly and savagely over long flat meadows of frozen floods. There was no snow with it until the afternoon the Aspen sisters came back; and then it began to fall lightly, in sudden flusters, no more than vapour, and then gritty and larger, like grains of rice.'
