What's the opposite of "HYGGE" for summer and heat waves and openness? signs of spring?

Yesterday was cold but not only is the blossom out, I have seen plenty of rose bushes reddening in preparation for budding and was really heartened to see two magnolia trees bursting into bloom.

Bring on the summer, this cold snap can do one.

Am loving the milder temperature and spring flowers.

Ditto, also loving lying in bed hearing the birds singing their heads off in the mornings. 
Loving watching my lawn becoming like a jungle much less 🤦🏻‍♀️ (although my cats love it 🥰)

Same here. Last night I slept with my window open, first time this year. I'd forgotten how enthusiastic the birds are when they get up in the morning 

I'm happy to be able to get the all windows open again now it's milder. My thermostat is set to 18' from 1800-2100 and it's not come on these past few nights. My neighbours must all be either very poorly or very rich cos every one of their boilers is belching out steam day and night! Jeez I couldn't bear it. I'm the only one with open-able windows, apparently.

What has also really made a difference to me is the light mornings. It's finally light when Farming Today starts 

Normal life is resuming!

Agreed, it really does make a huge difference, that sluggishness I feel struggling out of bed when it’s dark outside has just completely disappeared - the last couple of mornings I’ve literally sprung out of bed!

I know it’ll be dark mornings again for a little while when the clocks go forward, but I also know it doesn’t last long.
