I'm writing this at 7pm and it's not yet dark out! Yesterday when I left the house at 5:40 for the train the sun was already on it's way up! Tonight we've got daylight savings, meaning tomorrow night at 8pm it won't be dark yet! Hooray!!!
We've still got several centimeters of snow on the ground (in Sigulda, not Riga), but we've started trying to sprout some herbs and veggies under flourescent bulbs in our basement. It is highly exciting to be getting ready for a summer full of fresh salads right from our back yard.
And I love that my kids at school are regularly asking me to open a window (even though it's still hovering around 0 outside) so they can get a "smell of spring". We actually had a New Year's style countdown for 1:44 in our classroom last Friday because the kids knew that was the official beginning of spring. So any time the snow decides to read the memo so we can start seeing some green it will be great! (Until then, still working hard to have appreciation for the white....it's better than gray, right?)
