AND......

S * P * R * I * N * G

HERE IN FINLAND!!

Okay.....so it doesn't look quite as 'pretty' with flowers blooming yet! And there is still a LOT of snow......it IS starting to melt some. That is the good news.

When we woke up this morning (by natural daylight I might add)...it was starting to get light around 6:00 a.m.

This picture was taken about 7:30 a.m. And look at that beautiful BLUE sky!

We decided we better walk up to Lidl's to get some milk while the weather was fairly decent. With COATS, SCARFS, GLOVES on we headed out! YES, remember this is SPRING in Finland. This picture was taken on our walk back to the asuntola. A different view of the temple....with all of the snow and slush along the way.
