Aaaand it’s spring

 There isn’t much of a transition here between winter and spring. It is quite sudden and sometimes almost jarring. Two weeks ago there was snow everywhere and our daytime highs were around -7°C/19°F, and today we were out all day, partly in T-shirts. The trees have yet to leaf out and there are no flowers blooming, but in a couple of weeks it will look like summer and feel like it has always been like this. Time to start enjoying the outdoors right away though.
