37 days to Use Up Before Spring Starts!

Count your blessings:-

1) Vaccines are beating Coronavirus!

2) We can, just about, see the end of Lockdowns (I hope)

3) Only 37 days, to while away, before Spring starts! (I already have a Spring in My step).

4) There's hardly anything left to be miserable about.

Life is looking good - or is it just because I've started taking vitamin D tablets?

Re: 37 days to Use Up Before Spring Starts!

I'm not miserable at all. Got a lot to be thankful for. Had my first jab, got a lovely Son & Daughter. Actually saw a few birds for the big garden bird watch & that is a record, usually they all vanish. The only downer, the RSPB site has crashed, due to so many people sending their results, so will have to try later.

I'm happy that Spring is on its way ..... I noticed I have a red Camelia bud trying its hardest to break into bloom.

My bulbs are also busy pushing through the soil.

My biggest blessing is we are still here after almost a year of Covid worry.

Bearing in mind that I am rubbish at Maths how does the 37 days work out?.
There are 27 days left in Feb + 21 days to the first day of spring
That’s 48 days in my reckoning .

Great stuff Ted, it's good to see a bit of positivity.
The birds in our garden seem to have a bit of that spring feeling too.

I was wondering that too as it didn't add up?

This link and the other one might be of some use to help solve the puzzle:

"What is considered the first day of spring depends on whether you are using the meteorological or astronomical definition of the seasons."
