Signs of spring?

Perhaps I got my hopes up too high (or simply jinxed the situation) by posting what I thought were signs of spring to my Facebook page. It has been glorious for the past week or so - sunny days, blue skies and although nights were still crisp for the most part it was well above zero during the day. And then yesterday (Sunday, April 7, 2013) the skies turned gloomy and overcast and fat, fluffy, wet flakes of snow began swirling around and the temperature plummeted. But it didn't last long and today though not as warm it is once again sunny. I even saw some rather undernourished looking snowdrops (compared to those in Victoria) in the newly revealed but still completely winter-brown lawn beside one apartment building. The flowers weren't open but it's a good sign (I hope).

Happy to see the open-air fruit and vegetable seller back in Vaksala Torg

Not too many colourful flowers to be seen but there is manmade (or perhaps more accurately womanmade) colour around

I saw the woman who put this piece of guerilla knitting in place - it was the only time I've actually seen anyone in a phone booth in Uppsala - when I tried to use the one in the main square last summer it did not work as advertised (although it said I could make a toll-free call to a 1-800 number in Canada that did not work nor could I make a collect call to my credit card company)
