Meteorogically speaking, spring begins today. Our weather reports have thus been summing up, and it’s official: this winter has been the dullest, greyest, gloomiest and cloudiest on record in Germany, with the least sunshine in 62 years! I am therefore extremely happy to see our weather forecast for the next few days is for up to 10 hours of sunshine…
The snow is melting slowly, but to remind me/you of what awaits in the very near future, here’s a photo from last March.
Hope it’s a sunny month for you all!

Words and Herbs 
So now as March starts it is time to celebrate spring…..perhaps you might join in Cathy…post goes up tomorrow for Seasonal Celebrations meme.
Thanks Donna, I’ll take a look at your post! 😀
Unbelievable that you survived the gloomiest winter in 62 years!!! Wow. Party on!
Hi Garden Sunshine (what a lovely name!). Apparently we had less than half the average amount of sunshine… I need some vitamin D!
Those are depressing statistics. Glad you’re looking ahead. Happy sunshine Cathy!
Thank you Susie – it’s already looking brighter this morning! 😀
Oh my goodness I had no idea of your winter gloom! Looking forward to watching spring unfold as your garden comes to like again!
It will be as wonderful as ever to see each leaf and flower unfold. 😀
Tomorrow it will be March 1 for us…nothing blooming in my yard…I love your post!

Hi Linda. The only flowers I have are snowdrops and hellebores, but they are just buds peeping through the remaining snow and ice….
Wow–sorry to hear those stats, Cathy. But true to form, you’re staying positive and looking for brighter days. Here’s hoping they come soon!
Thanks Robin. Yeah, everyone here has said how tough this winter has been, although not exceptionally cold. You have to look on the bright side though!
Happy March to you as well! Sorry it was such a dismal winter, but that could mean you will take more pleasure in spring than usual.
How right you are! I get excited at this season every year, but I think the pleasure at seeing some sunshine and greenery will be even more special this spring!
I think this was the same story over most of Europe, let’s hope Spring will be different.
I hope you get some bright sunny days too, after all your rain! 😀
A happy and sunny March to you too, Cathy! Lovely photo!
I´m longing for seeing my spring flowers being in bloom and yes, this year I probably will take more pleasure in spring than usual…
Thank you Elisabeth – this morning is already looking brighter… and the forecast is sun. (Remember, that big yellow globe in the sky? You’ll recognize it when you see it, I’m sure!)
Beautiful photo! Also here in Italy the sun is already shining 😀 Hope it conitunes this way and finds its way to Germany as well!!
Thanks… I think you sent it in our direction. 😀
Lovely photo – I’m looking forward to seeing the bees again. We had a couple of days of sun, but the forecast for the first week of March is cloud… hope it’s better with you.
Well this week I’m hoping the forecast for us is right, as it’s looking brighter than it has for a long time… Maybe the sun will come through for you too. 😀
Such a bright, cheerful image! Happy March to you, too! 🙂
Thanks Sheryl. Hope you get lots of sunshine, even if you will have to wait a while yet for spring. 😀
So excited to see these! I had beauties on my blog last year; can’t wait.
Hope we get lots of bees too! 😀
Meine gelben Krokusse zeigen sich schon ~ und die Sonne auch!!!
Wish you a sunny march too! Uta
Das freut mich für dich, Uta. Ich wünsche dir viel Sonnenschein! 😀
Happy March to you too Cathy! What a lovely image. How uplifting! Thanks. 😀
Thank YOU Strawberryindigo… hope spring is showing itself in your part of the world too! 😀
Yay, the sun came out today! Finally!

Happy March to you too Cathy : ) Lovely photo!
