After a winter that featured the longest, coldest stretch of winter weather in decades, spring has arrived in China. Okay, it wasn’t Winnipeg cold, but every space heater in southern China was sold during late January.
After a few weeks of wondering if I had mistakenly been transported to Canada, the weather improved. Now the city is in bloom. Spring isn’t really spring. It’s the start of April and my air conditioners has been on several time. Yesterday at the gym I wondered if it was possible for a human being to literally melt.
Summer awaits. Time to restock my supply of rehydration salts.

Those flowers are somehow sexy. Maybe just because I crave the sight of anything growing at this point. Stupid Canadian winter.

Did you take that picture? I’m starting to wonder about you, Steve? 🙂

The weather here is so weird we switch from air to heat all year, sometimes on the same day.
Beautiful picture. Things are greening up in my yard, but no color yet. Of course, by June the only color will be burnt brown.

Marianne: Canada sucks and blows.
RT: Don’t wonder about me. I liked the color of the flowers. Don’t ask me what they are.
Shawn: I can’t wait for summer to really arrive. I miss blue skies.
The color of those flowers is amazing.

Those lovely flowers are bougainvillea.

My favorite. Bougainvillea. I have this on a wreath on my front door.

What are rehydration salts? I’m curious.
It’s a pretty color. It’s nice to see spring arriving on all my favorite picture haunts.

I know what you mean about melting. We hit 89 yesterday.
