Ega tali taeva ei jää!


Ega tali taeva ei jää! - it is an old Estonian expression, which I learned this year as everybody was using it while desperately waiting for snow. Literally translated it means Winter will not stay in the sky! meaning than one day winter will come anyway. This year I used to say to my friends that old Estonians were mistaken, and this year winter did not arrive. Till last week. It turned out that old Estonians were wise, and finally snow came, even if just for couple of days. It looked like winter discovered that spring time has come, and winter was thinking "did I forget something?... Ups! Snow... Now let's use all the snow I have and throw it down fast and at once". The result was excellent. I do not remember when last time I saw so many smiling people, while making my 2h daily walk with Hanna. I don't know about car drivers and street cleaners, but all walking people, which I saw, were happy. Not mentioning the children!
Finally I could also test one of the reasons to choose my baby pram because it is supposed to be easy to drive through snow during winter. The pram passed the test with excellent results.
Even more - I managed to do a bit of cross-country skiing for 3 days by turn! So sad feeling of putting skiing boots away without using them during season was avoided.
That was last week; now the spring has arrived.
