Even though the real winter was over by the middle of March, the spring still was weeks away.
I was a bit afraid that I would miss the early spring in the archipelago, due to the skiing trip to Jämtland being a bit late, in the beginning of April. Well, there was no problem at all. There were a few somewhat warm days in April, so I got some boat jobs done and the boat splashed about a week after the harbour was free from ice. The first short sailing trip was still a bit wintry, though.
The spring is generally a bit later in the archipelago, and it took time for the trees to get their leaves.
The grey seals shed their skin in May-June.
Eventually the vegetation started to become green.
A bit further out still in archipelago, the spring was clearly later.
I managed a few remote work days from the boat in May, in addition to a six day sailing trip at the end of May. I think the April to Midsummer time in the nature really is the most interesting. So much is always happening and everything is fresh and green.
And then, in the end of May the summer was on.
