Kevät... ehkä

Jääpuikkoja, kuva Borelta

God, sometimes I am slow.  It was the spring equinox a few days ago, which would have been clever (ha-ha) to mention on the 'All things being equal' post. Really, sometimes I wonder if my brain is seizing up.

So now it is officially spring (kevät). Well there are more birds around, the Helsinki rabbit population is about to explode and some startled walkers did come across a mother bear and her cubs in the Nuuksio national park near here last week. But yesterday looking out the window was like being in a snow globe, it was -9°C last night, and I'm beginning to wonder if the snow will melt before Easter...

Anyway we're going on a cheapo 'cruise' to Stockholm tonight for some better 'spring' weather... hmmm, not sure that'll work out.
