Spring has sprung in the Netherlands, and we're all extremely grateful!

As you can see in the 17-second video clip above, a bright sun and a sharp shadow can be quite the novelty after a long, dull, gray winter in the northern Europe.

It also tends to make a person feel like singing and dancing -- as you can see in the 26-second video clip below, with my children performing on a "stage" formed by a rectangular metal manhole cover, using a "microphone" created by some sort of utilities pole.

Ain't the springtime grand?
