Now that the weather is getting slightly warmer (although they're now forecasting snow for next week...) it's nice to be able to be outside a bit more than just trudging around in the snow, as beautiful as that is. Thankfully along with this warmer weather the sun stays up a bit later, making the days already seem so much longer and less hurried.
I absolutely love the paths through the vineyards on Kahlenberg, and hadn't been walking through there since last November before the days got impossibly short and all the ice and snow came. There's definitely still some snow up there, especially in the wooded parts at the top of the hill, but the major paths are clear.
It's a bit deserted since the actual vineyards (and Heurigen) aren't open to the public yet, but there were a handful of people up there enjoying the bit of sunshine. I still just can't quite get over how beautiful it is up there, and how the light and the view changes constantly as you work your way down.
I could sit on these benches for hours...well...except now it's still a bit cold...but soon!
There were several little rainbow strips in the sky
Looking over towards Leopoldsberg
Pretty soon we'll be back up here enjoying our wine on nice warm evenings...I cannot wait.
I loved winter, and all the snow...much to some of my friends' annoyance I think :) But now you can really feel the change in the seasons in the air around here, heavy down coats being traded out for light spring jackets, people eating at tables on the sidewalks in the sunshine, everyone seeming to be in slightly less of a hurry to run to their next indoor destination. It's back to school time for me...I have a large stack of paper on my desk and plenty of reading to do before classes start up next week. With the spring and back to school also comes lots of fun things on the calendar, so I'm more than ready for it!
