“It was such a spring day as breathes into a man an ineffable yearning, a painful sweetness, a longing that makes him stand motionless, looking at the leaves or grass, and fling out his arms to embrace he knows not what.”
― John Galsworthy, The Forsyte Saga
Before pandemic CoronaVirus, Sunday used to be Funday. I used to go out, explored new places, foods, or maybe shopping. Sunday used to be weekend and real Funday after long working week. But now every day is the same for me because of the lockdown situation.
Although my life is boring as usual but Nature is just changing its own way. I love watching the sky, in fact, I have mentioned this in one of my posts already.
Today was another day of Spring, a day before the storm.
From my home, I can watch the sky clearly, today I went out for a small walk after staying home for 4 days continuously. I needed fresh air so I decided to take 30 minutes to walk into my neighborhood.
“I glanced out the window at the signs of spring. The sky was almost blue, the trees were almost budding, the sun was almost bright.”
― Millard Kaufman, Bowl of Cherries
The weather was a little bit cold because of the cold breeze but it was bearable. It was a bright day and after coming out of my home, I felt like I am inhaling fresh air. Kharkiv is a less polluted city but today was exceptional.
The sky was blue clear and fluffy white clouds were floating. It was a shiny day but not too shiny, it was kind of golden spring day which everyone enjoys after a long winter. This type of weather is rare and only can be seen in spring.
I couldn't resist myself to capture some beautiful pictures as the weather and the surrounding was astounding. New green leaves, blue bright sky, cool breeze everything created perfect magical weather. I have also seen birds were chipping and pigeons were walking here and there as they don't care about anything.
I think this was one of the best spring days I have ever seen, maybe this year nature rearranged herself without any disturbance.
Suddenly the sky turned into a dark and started covering with black clouds which mean the storm would to be here soon. The blue sky was just converting itself into darkness and getting ready for the storm.
To be honest, I personally enjoyed this short walk and the weather after a long time. Staying at home is quite frustrating. Today I was able to watch the stunning sky, eye pleasant greenery, and some beautiful spring flowers.
One thing I have noticed, people are staying at home that's why nature became fresher and prettier than ever. Normally citylife is boring, we don't have time to observe these changes. Due to global warming, pollution, our nature destroyed and climate changed a lot. It's hard to find actual green due to deforestation.
We rarely see beautiful spring flowers, we rarely smell sweet fragrances of flowers, we rarely watch fresh grasses to walk on, we rarely can inhale fresh air.
Believe it or not, last summer my skin burnt drastically because of climate change, it was hard to go out at noon. The heat of the sun was unbearable. I hope this summer will be exceptional, I can see the change of nature in a good way.
Today was an exceptional day but I enjoyed a lot, I touched some flowers, I saw the birds, I saw the green grasses. This pandemic coronavirus leaving lessons for us to be honest. We are realizing many things because of staying at home to be safe.
“If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant: if we did not sometimes taste of adversity, prosperity would not be so welcome."

I know after the storm, there will be again sunshine and a new day, we will start freshly and all impurity will wash away. There will be again sun, birds, flowers, there will be again people walking around and enjoying the weather...
Really, today was the Beautiful Sublime Sunday...
