These pictures were taken from the car window, with an iphone 4, so are a bit fuzzy and not the best framing.

I’m seeing signs of spring and I know the season is almost here. A few of the cherry blossom trees are blooming.  Other trees are starting to show signs of new buds forming. And allergies are exploding!  Poor, Christian.

Today it was sprinkling a bit, but my down, heavy coat has gone into hibernation until next winter, I hope!  Thank, God!! The weather is definitely warmer, and there were only a few grey skies today, sprinkled showers, and a bit of sunshine!  There’s hope!! We sat outside and watched the kids play on the playground after school.  I’m loving the longer hours of daylight hours and want to enjoy the sunshine and warmth and dinner outdoors. I think we’re almost there, although the Friday night paddle through Amsterdam has been cancelled for this week due to bad weather!  The popular Keukenhof tulip gardens haven’t yet bloomed and it looks like they might extend the season into June due to the nature delay. I guess we’ll wait a couple more weeks to visit.   Hurry up, Spring!
