Signs of the times:
- The crocuses are peaking out of the ground in all sorts of glorious colors. (I’m relying on Becca here that these are, in fact, crocuses. I’m hopeless with flowers beyond roses and tulips.)
- The sun now rises before 7:00 in the morning.
- More importantly, the sun was visible all day the past two days.
- Most importantly, the neighborhood children have begun chalking up the sidewalk.
(Sorry about the lack of blogging recently. Aside from an awesome visit from friends from Boston, we’ve just been going about our normal lives without anything terribly remarkable happening. But don’t worry – we’re off to Belgium this weekend and should return with plenty of material to write about. The last time I was in Belgium I had three waffles, three beers, and three servings of chocolate in about five hours. The mythical triple Belgian trifecta. I hope to replicate it this weekend, albeit over a longer period of time.)
As you like to say, that "Aside from an awesome visit from friends from Boston" is doing a lot of work - we did so many new things in the past week! We finally ate at our neighborhood Indian restaurant and falafel place, went to York (!), saw Billy Elliot, saw another amazing play called Penelope in which one character wore a speedo for the entire play (except for the times he was wearing a dress), did an audio tour at the National Gallery, and I ate fish!
ReplyDeleteDid you drink the local York beer? I have very fond memories of that beer.
ReplyDeleteDaphna, we did indeed have some York beers...at a haunted pub, no less! We may try your butternut squash quesadillas this week - keep the yummy veggie recipes coming!
