Spring Will Be A Little Late This Year





"Spring will be a little late this year.
A little late arriving, in my lonely world over here
For you have left me and where is our april love old.
Yes you have left me and winter continues cold."
- Carly Simon








As the temperature steadily remains above freezing, our once snow covered ground has disappeared in the city center. Even though Helsinki is a wet mess, the sight of grass makes me smile knowing spring is not too far away.





Simply by leaving the city, you can still find snow. This weekend we headed up to Paloheinä, located at the northern end of Helsinki's Central Park. Paloheinä has a ski slope and the best known sled slope in town. Since we knew it would not be long until the cross country ski trails became running paths, we played in the snow one last time!
