| Wisteria. I told ya it was spring! |
Spring has sprung in Galicia. The flowers know this. They have been blooming like crazy. The geese know this. They've laid eggs and had a cute little gosling! The loquats (
nísperos) know this. They're available for a limited time only at fruit stands and supermarkets, so I've been loading up on them. But does the weather know this?? Apparently not! For every three days of summer-is-around-the-corner sunshine and temperatures, it seems like we have seven days of cold rain. I get that spring means showers. April showers bring May flowers has its equivalent in Spanish (
abril, aguas mil). But it's now mid-May and the highs barely
crawl up to 60ºF. It's so confusing; it feels like it's November and
time to start cozying up inside for the upcoming winter rather than
getting outside because summer's almost here! At least we have the
flowers to remind us what season we are really in.
And this has been your weather report for Galicia.
