Borrowed photo: Spring break

I am posting a photo I got from O.K. probably last winter or early spring, named 'spring break'. (I hope you don't mind, O.K.) It represents so much of what I want right now. Soon it is spring break here at the university, one week of no teaching and classes. I need it - it has been a bit much the last month. I won't go on vacation, instead I will finally be able to do some research! Real stuff! The week after the kids have their spring break from their school and they are going to their grandma for a visit. I want less snow and rain, more crocus (first flowered on Feb 15 and got covered with snow the next day) and more budding forsythia. More singing tufted titmice (=bird, related to talgoxe), and more howling owls. More sunshine. More cracks in the ice, less ice, and soil in pots with seeds in them. This reminds me that I really have to order seeds - I hope they have not run out of my favorite tomatoes yet. How is Sweden, still gray and cold and wet?
