Spring is here! And everybody is locked down in their houses and hardly dare to open the window! When they open it, then everybody shoud expect spring scents, the chirping of birds – not two bewildered reindeer!

It was a cold night, but who would expect snow? It was not there all winter… except once, and even that one time it was wet, heavy and unusable for sledding. It was on January 11th…

And this morning, April 7, 2021, the view out the window was very similar to that January day:

However, after a closer inspection, we found that this snow is just a muddy Springtime water that looked nice only for a short morning period…

There was hardly anyone on the street in the early morning.

Even the cold spring sun was enough to melt all the so-called snow by noon.

One has to ask oneself: Why all this? How can such snow be used at all? Here is our suggestion: Cool a beer, make someone smile!

See you very soon!
