Looking at
my calendar, I can’t stop myself from smiling. It’s the forth of March which means
that the first spring month, which I had been really waiting for, has come in
the end. However, not all first signs of spring that I usually look for are
gladdening my eye now. Even though the most significant sign, the sun which is
shining brightly and dazzling by its playful rays, has become noticed, I still
can’t hear the songs of various birds and can’t see the ground almost all
without snow. For me, spring really comes when brooks can be seen all around,
and all people forget about their hats and say goodbye to their warm clothes. I
also know an interesting phrase, saying that spring begins only when rooks come
back. May be I am too inattentive but I haven’t seen any of this birds yet. So,
in my opinion, the spring hasn’t begun, even though its first calendar month
has come. For me, now it’s still winter. In order to deal with this last part
of “winter”, every evening I cross off the passing day on my calendar, waiting
for the middle of March to come and trying to hope that the real spring will
begin at that time. By the way, I like dreaming of what I will do when the real
spring is finally here. I will, undoubtedly, try to spend more time walking
with my friends and enjoying the good weather. I will also take away all my warm
clothes and won’t think about it for a long time.
By the way,
in his blog David asked us how we wait patiently for spring. I can’t answer this
question because I’m waiting very impatiently
for this wonderful season really to come!

It's amazing how many people have noted the change in the light as one of the signs of spring. I think it's because we don't have any other signs yet, as you noted! It is strange when the days are getting so bright and long and yet it is so cold. I keep checking the 10 day weather forecast online every day, but so far no warmup is in store.
