Spring, is that you?

I was awoken this morning by a strange sensation on my face, sunlight. It was 9 am, and I was planning on sleeping later (a lot later) after a bit of a late night. Despite the closed curtains, the morning rays still managed to wake me, partly from brightness and partly from how hot I was getting under my duvet. It's the brightest, clearest, most welcoming day I have seen so far here in Denmark. Could it be the approach of spring? I'll try not to expect anything drastic, although, we have been repeatedly told that February is the longest, hardest month to get through in DK (despite its least amount of days). The sun now makes it first appearance as we eat breakfast at 6:30 am (it rose after 9 when I first arrived), and we eat dinner at 6 pm with the last twinkling of twilight (the sun set at 4:30ish pm when I arrived). So maybe we can hope to experience more sunlit awakenings from here on.
After a cereal, yogurt, and cheese breakfast I decided to try and take advantage of the situation and go for a bike ride. It was about a minute and a half before I realized that the weather I had seen through my window was a little deceptive of the day outside, and I should have worn my gloves.  Despite the crisp air and steady wind, it was still extremely refreshing to be outside and practically feel the vitamin D being taken into my system. I found some woody areas to putter around in, and noticed that under the bed of dead leaf litter, all sorts of little green sprouts are in the process of uncurling, biding their time before they too wake up to a warm sunlit morning. I guess I'm not the only one noticing a shift in the weather.
