Last week the sun was shining and it was warm. I finally removed my electric blanket from our bed and even wondered if our duvet was too heavy. We planted our garden, went for ice cream on the motorcycle, I enjoyed my new bike, went for few evening walks in the local park, sat out in the sun preparing for Bible study, etc. You get the picture...it was so nice. I talked with a Kenyan friend living here and we both said "this is Nairobi weather".
Well, things change and last night we decided to put our electric blanket back on our bed. I REFUSE to turn the heat back on but did think about it a little bit. So I'm back to wearing my sweatshirt and socks. The weather this week is dreary and cold...high 50's during the day, mid to low 40's at night. A friend told me yesterday that this is really London Spring weather, not what we had last week. But at least my flowers are growing well with all the rain.
In a little over two weeks I go to Tanzania to visit our daughter, Meg. I'm sure I will be plenty warm there and may even get a little color in my skin. I hope so. I've never been this white in my life! Sure hope you are enjoying the Spring weather wherever you are!
We finally got almost all our garden planted. Our soil is so bad so we've added sand and compost over and over. It's still got so many clay chunks but I couldn't wait any longer to plant. I'm so excited to watch these little plants grow and bloom. Already we have lots of flowers, most of which weren't there when we put the plants in a few weeks ago. I'm looking forward to watching the plants grow and spread and cover the beds. I'll be sure to post updated pictures at the end of the summer. We're enjoying being able to BBQ again and sit outside without winter coats on!
