A photo from Norway

The Drammenfjord can be seen in the background (it’s a 20-minute walk to get there)

Thanks for the photo—it looks picturesque. Spring is still a ways off where you are. Of course, that has its advantages, too, since you still have the blooming of the flowers and leaves ahead of you. It always goes by way too fast.

At Easter, I saw a mole in our garden for the first time in my life. It was so cute—it must have been a young one. A cat had startled it, and then it was looking for its entrance. As it did so, it showed itself off in all its glory. That was a wonderful experience—better than an Easter basket, at least for me.

It doesn't look like spring yet... but otherwise it's very beautiful. 

I wish it were already much greener and more colorful. It always looks gorgeous in the picture, but there’s still a very crisp, cold wind.
But… on the bright side, we don’t have that much pollen in the air yet.

I did manage to spot some little spring blooms after all.
