A Well Kept Man

The weather has finally made a turn for the better here in Switzerland. The familiar signs of Spring began a few weeks ago, but over the last few days have become much more abundant. The first sign of Spring we noticed is the lake level (of Lake Geneva) is much, much lower than normal (if you look closely at the fork in the water, you can see the normal water level on the tines...). We have postulated as to the cause, and have deduced two and only two possible solutions: the snow has not yet melted from the Alps to replace the water that dissipates due to the dry winter air; or the water bottling factory in Evian has started using lake water instead of natural alpine springs (if it's the latter, I'm sure they filter out the duck poo).


The second sign of Spring is the emergence of the first flowers such as tulips, crocuses, and other flowers such as yellow and purple ones (that is the official name, yellow and purple...can you tell I am not the botanist?).


The final sign of Spring is the emergence of the winter dork from his hibernation. Hopefully we can capture more pictures of him striking a pose in his natural habitat...
