Kevät: Spring

The sun is shining, the birds are singing... it's 4 AM.

We've discovered that now the sun never completely sets. The closest we ever get to "night time" is a cornflower blue twilight, with a pastel, yellow glow hanging on the horizon. But along with 20 hours of daylight has come a full-fledged spring. We know most of you back home in the States are already in summer mode, but here the trees are finally blossoming with lush green leaves, and where there were once patches of snow are now verdant mosses, tall grasses, and beautiful flowers.
