ARE YOU THE ONE: 36/40 “It is hard earned, so I will cherish it even more.” 😭💛 Words I needed to hear on this it-should-be-spring-but-it’s-still-winter kind of Monday. Some shows are good therapy.
We have had extraordinary hot days here in what should be early autumn. THe weather took it’s revenge today with a whole lot of rain and a reminder it’s not summer rain any more.
@ceciliedk it’s these transition “seasons” isn’t it? Our weather has been yo-yoying this way too. I hope you had a good summer. I find summer rain romantic 🤗
Yes. Though the really turbulent weather is usually in April here. There’s a poem in Danish that says “April er ej at stole pΓ₯, hver dag hun ta’r ny kjole pΓ₯” (“April is not to be trusted, she wears a new dress every day” or you could say “She wears a new dress every day. Do not trust April. Wait for May”)
And a song that says:
I choose, for me, April. Jeg vælger mig April
In that what is old fall. I den det gamle falder
In that what is new gains foothold. I den det ny fΓ₯r fΓ¦ste
It causes a bit of hullaballoo, Det volder lidt rabalder
But peace is not the best. Men fred er ej det bedste.
In that, Summer is born. I den bli’r som’ren til.
We have had a warm, recordbreakingly wet summer, and the the last week before yesterday was very, very warm. And yesterday very, very wet. Today, the weather is … OK. Like, long sleeves OK. Temperatures will stay below 65 F/ 19C and no rain today.
OMG, I thought I had separated the original and the translation better. Here goes again:
I choose, for me, April.
In that what is old fall.
In that what is new gains foothold.
It causes a bit of hullaballoo,
But peace is not the best.
In that, Summer is born.
Jeg vælger mig April
I den det gamle falder
I den det ny fΓ₯r fΓ¦ste
Det volder lidt rabalder
Men fred er ej det bedste.
I den bliβr somβren til.
Haha, poor April, not to be trusted 🤗 I was born on the last day of March and consider April my intro onto the planet so she has a special place in my heart. It’s also autumn in my part of the world so almost always perfect weather (mild, nostalgic, cosy). Are you in the NH? That means April is your spring…why pray tell is your weather more turbulent then?
Yes, as the little poems indicate, April is our crazy month. before that, it is cold, and after that it is … Danish summer. It always snows some time during April and after you have declared “Well, not it really is spring, or even summer.
Snow has happened in May, too, but very rarely. Like 1979 and 1984 … and I believe, not since then. Also, during WW2 there were some extremely hard winters, and in one of those years (1942, I think?) it snowed in May. But all that is very rare.
April, on the other hand … anything can happen. 🔥❄️🤣😉

Oh no, bad typo! I was going to say
“Well, now it really is Spring!”
