but spring does come slow to northern Sweden. All over the place I’ve been seeing pictures of blossoming cherry trees and hearing tales of fragrant lilacs, but this is what greets me in my own front yard. You’ll notice that the trees are still disconcertingly bare, but it’s no small consolation that the snow is gone and the lawn has mostly dried up. And if you take a closer look, you can see that leafy trees are just around the corner.
