The sun is shining today, playing against the houses down the street bouncing off one or the other, as if playing hide and seek. You can feel the cheer in the air as people are trying to decide between their dark woolen coats or a lighter spring jackets. Most people aren’t quite ready to trust the sun quite yet and decide to darn a wool coat and a heavy scarf. But it doesn’t matter, the sun is telling us Spring is almost here!
Our new place is pretty big, so while we’re trying to figure out how to heat our house so we don’t leave a large carbon footprint, I’m curled on the window ledge asking for the sun to shine through my window. We’re still setting up our home and I don’t own a kettle yet to keep me warm, so I dream about a hot pot of tea waiting for me in my kitchen.
Life here in the Netherlands is turning out to be wonderful!
