April One

This morning, when the girls and I were walking to the pool for an early swim, it was easy to notice how the courtyard garden looked and smelt different. The trees now have tender new leaves and the flowers seemed to have bloomed overnight. It's Spring for sure and I'm looking forward to it, just because last month felt dreary, filled with uncertainties, a bout of sickness and some melancholy . Even the trees looked sad with its naked branches. So this month, I'm feeling more positive despite the impending finality of our stay here. But from now till we leave, we're going to look forward to a few things - Easter, birthdays, opa and oma's visit, the remaining weeks of nice weather, Sera's final semester in nursery (awww, she's growing up too fast!), spending time with friends ... and maybe, if we get ourselves organized, camping in the desert.
