SPRING!

I've mentioned this before, but I'll do it again.
It's Spring in Finland -as of March 1st every year.  The birds begin to chirp and it doesn't matter what the temperature is or how much snow you have to shovel to get to your car, let alone your bike.

Do you check Google everyday to see what holiday or famous birthday it is?
Well, today I happened to check and all of Finland is rejoicing.  (If not, they should be.)
Why?
Because Marimekko designed today's Google logo and it was a symbolism of Spring beginning today - in other countries...


Somehow that spells "GOOGLE" and if you know anything about Finland, you might know something about the "Marimekko" brand.
Marimekko is known for their housewares, bags, fabric, clothing, expensive prices and choice of funky patterns and bright colours.
One of the most famous patterns by Marimekko is that blue flower.  Yes it comes in red, pink, orange and yellow and some other shades - but blue seems to be one of the originals.

In fact, in the movie "Remember Me", there is a Marimekko flower-printed blanket on the little girl's bed!!
