It's has been alternating blizzards and sunshine all day and is so very cold. The snow didn't stick on these fields but there's a light dusting on all the hills. I wasn't up for going outside other than to fill the coal scuttles, and looking at year old blog posts and pictures from my project from last March, I was inspired to rephotograph the cherry tree for comparative purposes. A year ago, March was much warmer and we had some really hot days nearer the end of the month. The cherry tree a year ago was much more advanced than this.See it here:
that really is a difference! It has been much warmer here than previous years and not half as much snow as we usually have. A couple of winters ago we over a meter of the white stuff.
Wow, what a difference, so much more colour at this time last year. I like the way you have taken time to do a comparison. Hopefully this years colour will be here soon!
