It's amazing what the first real warm days of the year can do. Leaves appearing on the trees, and lots of 'weeds' sudden showing their greens above the earth's surface. Where i'm living now the variety in weeds found alongside the road is slightly less from what i'm used to, but it makes me very happy nonetheless. Here's a list of just a few abundant weeds i've seen today: Galium (lots and lots), Rumex, Glechoma, Lamium, some weeds from the umbelliferae family, and of course Taraxacum.
Hooray spring is in the air!

The first few warm spring days have finally arrived! *hooray* Interestingly enough for the past 1.5 week i've already been in 'spring clean mode'. Trying to sort out all the junk i've collected and instead of leaving it to lie around, i've actually been giving things a place to live. I think it might be contagious since the BF is now sorting out his paperwork as well (or might that just be my nagging?). I've also started to finish the loose ends that are hanging around. First and foremost getting back in touch with my herbs, but also the website (and at least the new spam filter seems to do it's job), books that have been on the nightstand for ages, places to live, what to do after graduation etc. Everything seems to get itself into some order.
By the way, I can't wait for the nettles and cleavers to grow slightly bigger and make nice juices for a nice spring clean!

After buying him his 3rd cookbook he got the clue and made me a 'cappuccinomascarpone-pie' on world pie day *big smile *

"There they were, sitting in the train, carefully glancing at each other. Looking together at the sun, rising at the horizon, big and golden. Shining her warm rays over the frozen dessert of fields. Happy to be able to share this moment with each other and the other passengers."
(and then their imagination took off and they asked me to write a whole book about their story...)
