The warmth (several days over 24 °C) has put a lot of speed to spring. Flowers are developing faster and faster, and the new leaves of trees are getting fast bigger. (By the way, is there a special word for "a newly unfolded leaf of a tree" in English, corresponding to the Finnish word "hiirenkorva", which means literally "mouse ear".)
I have taken walks on nearby forests, usually with one or two of our daughters, and worked in the garden every once in a while. It is looking good (the garden, and the nature). Warm weather is forecasted, with a little bit of rain, so it is going to be nice I guess. So far I'm not getting fed up with it being warm all the time.

I'm pretty sure there's no such word in English. Too bad, I like the 'mouse ear' term in Finnish, very appropriate.
I guess here up north we need words for changes like this, which mark the beginning of a new season - we also have in Finnish quite a lot of words for forms of snow.
