Spring is finally here!

I think it's safe to say that warmer spring/summer weather is here to stay for a few months in Sweden!  It's supposed to be in the low 70s all this week, which is typically as hot as it ever gets here.  We bought an extra fan this weekend too since Swedish homes are not equipped with air conditioners.  So long as it keeps getting cool at night - in the 40s - it won't be bad at all during the day.

Speaking of day... it just keeps getting longer and longer.  We noticed over the weekend that the northern sky was still lit up at midnight and sunrise is now a little before 4am.  Thank goodness for light-blocking shades!

We took a few pictures of the spring growth and blossoms in our apartment's courtyard this weekend.  It's so nice seeing green and leaves on the trees again!

A snail Tyson saw on his way to work last week.

Yep, there are dandelions in Sweden too.
Beautiful greenery all around.
