Do people still say 'spring has sprung?' It was a common saying when I was growing up.It seems like we were just decking the halls and dreaming of a white Christmas and now I'm looking at spring flowers from a friend's garden.
They do look quite lovely, especially against the pine branch left from the Christmas flowers she gave me one short month ago. The yellow really pops against the dark green. But I'm not ready for spring yet. Then again, I never am, so I guess it doesn't matter. 😏
Our phone service returned this morning. The only reason I knew this was because I heard the buzz indicating that I'd gotten a text. It was from Irish Water saying that the boil water notice remains in place. This does not annoy me the way it did last month, when it went on for 2 1/2 weeks. After having no water at all, boiling it now doesn't seem like a big deal. Probably a good reminder to me that having water flowing from the taps is a privilege to be grateful for, whether I have to boil it before drinking or not. I've lived with no running water in the past, but that was in a place where that was a fairly common thing, so alternatives were in place and it was no big deal. Understandably, that's not the case here.
Whatever you're doing today, I hope it's pleasant!

That’s a great burst of colour to get my day underway. It’s a great contrast to the horizontally blowing snow outside. Good that you are so sanguine about your water situation, especially since there’s nothing you can do about it. Meanwhile, I will go and luxuriate in a hot shower! If you were here, I’d let you go first!
We were lucky and we got our water back after 1 day. We can use it for washing and flushing without boiling. That first shower was quite marvelous, though. It reminded me of when we were on the move and stayed at a campground where we had running water for the first time in a couple years. It was in the Yukon, I think. We paid our 25 cents and had our showers. We were done and the water kept coming. It seemed to go on forever, but I wasn't going to leave until it stopped--LOL Stay warm!
