It is Spring - already?

We are heading towards end of February and we should be seeing the end of winter. Just a few years ago here in Florence, we had snow on 1 March, so indeed winter is still around.

Or is it winter? It feels much more like Spring here the past few weeks. Several days have seen warm weather, and you can sit outside enjoying the blue sky.

Just take a look at the trees - they have started to blossom!

This is rather early - I feel that Spring comes earlier each year, and this year also the magnolia trees have blossomed here in the centre of Italy. It is beautiful and after some cold and rainy days, we human can only rejoice in the sun, but is it normal to have Spring arrive so early? I leave you to judge.
