London in Spring

Nate has entered his final's hibernation period and I have found more time to myself. I am in the process (the beginning of the process) of learning to play all the hymns in the hymnbook as well as several of the simpler classical pieces on the piano. I have also discovered a fondness for daffodils as they are everywhere here. Most parks seem to grow crocuses and daffodils instead of grass. I have also read every travel book I could find of Greece and Romania. I was very sad to learn that the Parthenon is covered with scaffolding and has been for several years. I was really hoping to get some good pictures. My library does not have a book on Austria so I may have to buy one as I am very excited about Vienna and Salzburg. It is getting warmer here and everyone, even the stuffy English, seem to be in a better mood. It rains incessantly but that just makes the flowers grow more. The other day Nate brought me some flowers from the park down the road. I don't know if you can get in trouble for that here but I thought it was pretty sweet anyway.

  1. Sounds wonderful! I love spring! My daffodils and crocus are blooming in the yard. Just seeing them out there makes me happy.

    I can't wait to hear about your trips. What an adventure!

    The hymn thing is a good idea. I want to memorize the words to them. Maybe one day, I'll know all of them. =)

  2. I love srping and the way the whole world sort of wakes up and feels so much more alive! We just went down to Arizona, and it was revitalizing to walk in flipflops in the sunshine!

  3. How was the trip to AZ. I miss AZ so much. It is always so warm there. They don't have daffodils but the sunshine makes up for that.
