Signs that spring is gradually approaching

It was a chilly -8°C this morning, but during the day, there was no wind and the weather was warm and pleasant.

Since it gets cold suddenly in the evening, I decided to clear away the dead grass and pruned branches that had been left since autumn all at once while it was still warm.

Before I knew it, four hours had passed. I felt like I hadn't moved my body in a while, but after I finished, the dead leaves were cleared away and I felt very refreshed.

It seems like cold days will continue for a while, but the air today felt just like spring.

While cleaning up, I found a frog hibernating under the dead leaves (it was there when I moved the leaves, so I left it alone) and the buds of snowflakes (flowers that look like lilies of the valley) poking their heads out, which made me feel excited.
Amazing!

You didn't forget to sprout again this year.
Thank you!

That's how I felt.

It was a day where I felt that preparations for spring were quietly beginning.

Thank you for reading until the end.
