How was the weather this week?:

As we move into spring, sunny days are becoming more common. It does not snow here; however, there has still been a fair share of rain. Did you know there is a name for the corridor wind that passes through the south of France? Named le mistral, this cold, harsh wind makes the winter temperatures feel even colder.

What animals did I see this week? :

With the change of season also comes migration; the birds are mesmerizing. This week, they filled the sky with their flight patterns; though, I am not sure which species they are. Then, there are always the pigeons, who are very comfortable around humans. Pigeons landing on my dinner table was not something I ever experienced in Kansas.

What was the coolest thing I saw in nature this week?:

Wildflowers are blooming, and the trees are growing leaves again. Spring is arriving in Provence! I love noticing the difference in native plants.
