Today is the sort of March day which makes you believe summer is around the corner. The day starts with a winter chill in the air, but as soon as the sun rises behind the house the temperature rises. The sky is a brilliant cobalt blue, empty of clouds.
Only the bare branches remind us that we are yet on the edge of spring. The only summer visitors to arrive so far are two swallows and one cuckoo. The other migrant birds, the swifts, bee-eaters and golden orioles, are yet to arrive.
Spring is late and it feels more like January, normally the bleakest month here in the mountains.
5 to remember
el día – the day
el verano – the summer
el invierno – the winter
el sol – the sun
la casa – the house
