今年は春の訪れが例年よりもだいぶ遅れている。
先日はアメリカ北東部を覆う大きな低気圧の嵐のため、1日で1月分の雨が降るという大雨に見舞われ近所の家の地下にも水が出たり、道路が洪水のために閉鎖されたり、今日もまだ小雨が残り空は雨雲に覆われている。
膨らみかけた木々の新芽たちもまだ固く閉ざされたままである。 でもひとつひとつは赤みがかった小さな新芽で遠くから見ると森全体が紫色に色づいてきている。
An arrival of a spring is very slow this year.
A month worth of rain fell within one day on last Sunday in this north-eastern part of the United State. And some streets were closed due to flooding and many neighbor’s house got water in their basements. The sky is still covered with clouds and it rained on and off until today.
Those buds of trees are tightly closed still. But each small bud has reddish color and when you look at the woods from the distance, it seems that they are cover with purple veil
