A cold spring

The crocus are blooming, some trees like oaks are blooming (and Nobuhiro's nose itches), but no daffodils or tulips yet, plus temperatures are once more just barely above freezing during the day. Luckily a flower shop sold Daffodils - 3 bunch (30stems) for $5, not bad at all. It is nice to have little spots of yellow everywhere on the windowsills. Besides that we stay warm with tea and sweaters and doze in bed with some good books.
