Come on, Spring   

Winter is dead, long live the winter. Well, not yet technically but it has certainly been feeling like this for the past few days. Winter in Hokkaido, for people who do no winter sports, is like that really cute but very annoying neighbor's dog - it's nice for a while but eventually you want to throw something at it. Mid February is when I feel like throwing something at the winter, figuratively speaking. This is when all the novelty of the mountains of snow wears off and it feels like just a pain in the butt.

Bulgaria has quite similar winters except they are usually much shorter. Mid February is when the snow has finally melted and you have Spring knocking on your door. This year has been abnormally warm with almost no snow in the capital and no sub zero temperatures. Quite the opposite actually, with the season's temperatures averaging well above zero. My parents say it felt like spring the entire winter. I guess that's Global Warming for you - causing abnormal temperatures and weather conditions.
Anyways, today's sun is enough for me to start making plans for this year's spring and summer, even though we are still months away. It just feels nice to have the sun warming up your face.
