Ever have those times where your life feels like it got put on
pause? Among other things, my blog fell through the cracks last week with all the crazy
Boston stuff, preparing to teach 4 classes for this week, and switching most
of my files to a temporary computer while my regular one is off for
repairs. Working from a temporary computer while trying to track which
files (work files, blog photos, etc.) you've updated feels somewhat
schizophrenic. Anybody else ever have to do this?
On the upside, spring has finally arrived...at the end of April. This is incredibly late for Germany, but I'm happy to see it nonetheless. Our balcony is planted and we've already enjoyed many a meal outdoors. It never ceases to amaze me how a bunch of 60 cent flowers from the hardware store can really brighten up a space. Pansies, bachelor's buttons, and forget-me-nots. We're also experimenting with a lavender plant and a kind of grassy-geranium. Once the trees leaf the plants don't get a lot of sun, so although we enjoy the privacy, we have to be mindful of what plants will actually survive in the low light. At least one of the trees is a big white lilac!
What's blooming in your outdoor space?
