I never thought I would say this. I am thrilled, yes THRILLED to be back at home in Germany. The open green spaces. The food, oh the FOOD! Eating is now enjoyable again, and not just something I have to do. (Although, sadly, this problem didn’t help me loose any weight while we were away.) The daffodils in bloom everywhere along with the spring buds on the trees. The clean crisp air and patchy blue sky. And finally the snow that was falling this morning. I had to get outside in it all.
My husband and I walked into the fresh crisp air this morning at about 8am. The brief storm had cast a thin white blanket of snow over the newly green fields. Soft piles of crisp white snow surrounded bright green and yellow daffodils, pink cherry and white apple blossoms. The sun had come out against a bright blue sky, and our breath billowed out like soft smoke from our mouths. Hand and hand we walked to the bakery for fresh roles for breakfast, smiling at the beauty surrounding us. It’s good to be home!
