Back

Temperature +18 in the country, +15 in Helsinki at its highest. Sun more or less, in both places. Stronger wind in the city by the sea from the South.

Now we are back in our primary home in the city. Although it's colder here, the spring has clearly progressed more. For example pussy willows here are flowering as very yellow, but I didn't see even catkins yet in the country. Or maybe willows didn't grow there where I was going. Here also small decorative bushes already have small leaves opening. 

But this opening leafbud in the picture is in the Aronia berry bush in our yard in the country. Much is happening also there. On the way home I saw a few common cranes and two swans on the fields we passed.
