swimming

didn't fancy swimming in a lake yet,

so we went to a spa instead.

a city between two lakes

the ice was weak

southern Finland: lake Näsijärvi

Winter treated them poorly.

Gave them new soil and there's more light.

I think they will cheer up!

I think of those long, dark and cosy winter nights not so long ago. 

How different everything feels now when there's so much light!

spring is

..white snow and sun shining so bright

..having difficulties to keep my eyes open!

The light is a definite sign of spring! 

White mounds of snow are turning to grey. 

For a short while the roads are in a terrible state. Soft and tricky in sunlight and freezing again in the evening.

But to see green grass, I think, I'll need to have a few cups of coffee and wait.
