It has been extremely cold since I arrived in Bagni di Lucca about 2 weeks ago. It is much colder than I have ever known it to be in the 9 years I have been coming to the village.
There was a definite change in the air yesterday and I spotted a few signs of new life on my walk to La Villa.
The snowdrops were not there a couple of days ago.
The lizards are starting to wake up and poke their heads out of the cracks in the rock walls.
These lizards are tiny, about the size of my little finger.
There will be some daffodils soon.
This plant was determined to grow, even under the weight of an old snail shell.
My hyacinths are trying to make an appearance on my balcony.
The magnolia trees have furry buds all over them.
It won’t be long now until things turn green and the days get longer and warmer. I love spring in Italy!
