bloom

i forgot something important:
spring comes early in freiburg.

it comes very early. like now. the snow is gone, the wind us warm, and things are growing! it's been raining for days, but that is also great, because freiburg will come out of all this water a shocking green. and all these buds will burst open, and the last sixty-four days in aupairland will fly by in colorful blur.

(such optimism this spring has already instilled in me!)
((when the forsythia blooms i might just die))
