Spring is coming

One of the hardest things about living in China is the Winter.  Even here, in the relative south, the winters can be brutal!  It is really hard to explain why it is so hard.  If I tell folks how cold it gets here, it doesn't really sound that bad, but let me tell you, it sure seems like it.  I have already written about how cold it can feel here, so I won't do that now.  Instead I will announce that it is almost SPRING!

We will have some cold days, but I am nearly positive the bitter cold is gone for the year!  All around us we are seeing signs that Spring is really here (or coming).  Soon we will be packing our thermals away.  It won't be long until we will sweat every where we go, but for now, I will rejoice that it is another day that I do not have long johns on my legs!

Hangzhou is a beautiful place.  Spring is one of the best times to live  (or visit) here.  Soon I will post about many of the gorgeous blooms here.  For now, I will leave you some pics of  the signs of spring.
