It is raining and thundering today.
I like rain in springs.
Normally, rain, scary rolling thunder and thunderclaps annoy me, but not in springs. Those are the signs of spring has come. It rains instead of snows. The rain melt away the icy snow sat in the shade throughout winter. The rainy clouds warm the atmosphere so that the air temperature goes up.
It is pretty warm today, 12℃ at the highest. I mean, it is amazing because it was around zero degree a couple of weeks ago and now what?!
And because Canada is located on the higher latitude than Japan, daylight in summer is incredibly long comparing winter time. I like it long!
When it is winter, it is nearly impossible to wake up before 8 a.m. How could you get up in a good mood before the day breaks? People in Canada are amazingly able to get up and go for work every day but not for me.. I crawl out of bed every morning and cope with a depressing cold cloudy day. The sun sets before 5 and the long night begins...
It sounds most likely true that the suicide rate goes up in winter. People feel blue under such dark miserable weather. I am among them who struggle with the kind of feeling in winter.
And at last, spring has come!
I can say hello to the sun early in the morning. You have no idea what it feels like to get bright sunlight first thing in the morning!
Besides, it starts daylight saving time on April 3. (I wasn't aware of it but a friend of mine happened to tell me. Thanks! ) We have to put the clock an hour back.
今日は雨が降ってます。
そして春雷。
庭先の根雪が全部溶けちゃいました~。
緯度の高いカナダでは、夏と冬とでは日照時間にかなり差があります。
冬は、夜明けは遅いしすぐ暗くなっちゃうしで、気分も沈みがちなのですが、このごろは明るい時間がどんどん多くなってきて、幸せ~

宝くじにでも当たればね。。買わないと無理だけど、、、
そちらのおうちの住み心地はどうなんですか??
Anyway, I'm getting feel like going out under warm sunlight these days, so maybe my animal-like sense is telling me "Spring is just around the corner!"
それじゃ、全室暖房と高気密な感じなのでしょうか?
ウチが借りてるタウンハウスについて、今度ブログ本文でご紹介しますょ...と言っても、建物自体はカッコいいけど調度品がダメダメなので家機能だけ(笑;
あ、それと、8穀パンも昨日焼いたので、8穀の詳細とともにUPします~
Yeah, I feel the same here. These sunny days really make me want to go out!
=3 ))) ~~~
And I can smell spring in the air too!
...but, sadly that kind of atmosphere won't last until the summer comes... The air temp will drop to 1 ℃ tonight, said the Weather Channel. Winter will be back again.
It seems that spring walks up to us very slowly.
I wanna have a picnic under trees of cherry blossums~~
