Like last year and the year before that, we have a goal to do 100 hikes together, Terje and I, also this year. We had a great start the first two weeks of the year, on Tenerife, with hikes every day. Then, after we came home, we've had more challenges with snow and ice everywhere. Still a few hikes, with spiked shoes, but finally, it looks like spring is here, at least here on the coast where our cabin is situated, and I feel this overwhelming, amazing joy of spring.
A couple of weeks ago our daughter Ingrid and her family found a new place for perfect hiking out here, and today we went to the same place.
The snow has only recently melted, so no wild flowers up yet, but we could walk with our sneakers, still with dry feet, and we could smell spring everywhere.
I know I said there were no wild flowers, but we could see hundreds of snow drops in a garden we passed.
