The breath of spring.

Siberia. Spring expectations usually tire everyone. But despite everything, everyone eagerly awaits this day. And, as always, this day arrives unexpectedly. Parks and gardens are in bloom – pears and bird cherry trees, apple trees and ranetka apple, and viburnum berries are turning white. The scents of spring excite the senses. The breath of spring fills our sails. And in Siberia, playing hide-and-seek with spring is an unacceptable luxury. Miss this beautiful spring day – perhaps you've missed a year, perhaps a lifetime. You can't afford to yawn.

Dear roaringtree.
Thank you for your attention, opinion, and emotions.
I've already had the opportunity to complain to everyone about Winter's absolutely outrageous, impudent behavior in Siberia. Here, Winter pays no attention to any calendars, neither on the stellar - the solar calendar (the equinox), nor the lunar calendar (the spring festival), nor even the paper flip calendars. And until the last day of spring, the discussions drag on and on about: Will Spring come this year or will it pass us by? Should I wear a winter down jacket on May Day? Tomorrow is already summer, according to the calendar, and outside today it's rain, snow, and a blizzard. But...
But I don't remember a single year without spring... At least for a day. At least two. Sometimes a week or more. As always, unforgettable days. And then the hot summer usually arrives... And then—I think you know it all.

The breath of spring.
