spring is in the air! (i think)
we just came in from a dog walk, with a new but somehow well-known smell in the air. tommy and i both walked with our noses in the air, sniffing like bloodhounds (although i guess they mostly sniff on the ground...), trying to figure out what the smell might come from. there was something very familiar about it, and we tried wet rain jackets, rot and mould among other things. finally we got it: it must be spring. we're not completely sure (mainly as there was nothing else spring like about the walk: there's a thick layer of snow all over nyland and more snow was falling), but the more i sniffed the more sure i got. and the temperature was actually above freezing for a while today, even though it was -18,5 this morning. it might very well be +18 tomorrow, if the temperature contines to rise in this speed :)  ¶ 9:26 PM
