Spring Came to Hamburg

A week ago I went for a run and was pleasantly surprised with how nice it was outside. In the week earlier flowers had started popping up from the ground and blooming, but on Sunday the sky was perfectly clear and the temperature had risen to a nice temperature in the mid-forties.

The first flowers I saw blooming.
Flowers!

Can't wait for this view to be green
There were so many people in the park. Couples going on walks or sitting together on benches in the sun, parents with children, people walking their dogs. Despite having to run around large groups of people clogging the paths, it was one of my favorite runs. It was so nice out that I saw people with ice cream cones on my walk back to the apartment. Of course, that inspired me to get my own ice cream cone and enjoy it next to the small lake.

Unfortunately, the next day dawned cloudy and cold. And every day since has been cold and windy, with some sprinkling of rain. So spring came and went in one day, but the glimpse of it was nice and promised nicer days to come. I just hope they come soon.
