Happy Spring!



Happy spring day to all my followers that do not use Facebook. I just want to wish you a good day, which is very much observed here, in Tirana.  


It’s called ‘Dita e Verës’ (literally Day of Summer) that goes back to an old tradition of pagan origins. It celebrates nature gifts of the season, and in Albania it is as a national day of rest enjoyed with the preparation of special food, called ‘ballokumja’!


Today, in Tirana, we are blessed with gorgeous weather : 67F (19C) temperature, 0% precipitation, 37% humidity, and 2 mph wind!
One small note that I usually connect with the coming of springtime is that the swallows have not yet returned to the nest they built on the roof of my balcony, but I trust they shall be here soon……!
