spring has sprung, continued

strange, but the weather here has turned absolutely incredible! winter in bonn is warm but full of gray. but these past few days, it's been like someone turned on a light switch all of a sudden -- gorgeous sunshine, beautiful blue skies, hardly a cloud in sight. and the forecast is calling for nothing but more of the same! (apologies to those enviously reading this from more wintry climes -- i know at my parents', spring doesn't usually arrive till april.)
