First signs of spring..

I have been going on walks...

long walks, short walks.....

I pass through pretty homes with big yards..

and I cannot help but be filled with ENVY..

yes ENVY.

(purple crocus at the Spielplatz)

Every yard is bursting with blooms of purple and yellow crocuses and snowdrops!!

And why envy?

cause I have no yard of my own.

I wonder, what is it like to peek out of your window and notice the change of seasons happening right in front of your eyes? IN YOUR YARD..
Do they feel a sense of excitement at the first burst of color ?
or is it just another season of Spring? I wonder...

(Schneeglöckchen or snow drops)

Yard or no yard,
I delight at natures marvel and head on over to the local spielplatz for the much awaited pictures of Spring!!

A Sunny Tuesday

TuLiPs + SuNsHiNe = BLISS

It's too beautiful a day to be cooped indoors. After what seems ages, yes ages, the sun's out!! I am headed out and hope to spot a few spring flowers. Keeping my finger's crossed.

How about you? What's your today like? 

15..

That's what my man blurted out while we were having breakfast. Not understanding, the kids and I replied in unison"15 what??"

15 more months to return back HOME!!

And I thought I was the only one counting...:-)

It doesn't feel that long anymore and we are eagerly looking forward to the day. Just the thought brings a twinkle to my eye( according to hubby...he can see the twinkle)

Tschüss Februar!!

February's coming to an end. Am I glad!! I know I have been ranting about the seasons, it's just that the harshness of winter got to me. 

Now that the days are slowly beginning to get longer and warmer, I am ever eager to welcome March.

More than a month ago I discovered Instagram for the iPhone and since then I have been updating my Facebook page with easy snapshots while on the go. Tinajo, my bloggy friend does a round up at the end of every month on her favorite pictures which led me to do the same as I realized that these shots never made to the blog..

Which one is your favorite?

Each has a story to tell...

The oranges were bought just because I LOVED the leaves..:D

My orchids finally bloomed and am having gorgeous flowers by my windowsill.

Having missed my all time favorite magazine(GOOD HOUSEKEEPING, India) for 2 whole years, they finally have it available on the iPad!! Don't you just love those tea pots? INDIA is a shoppers paradise, truly!!

And the last, sigh!! Have I ever told you how I so not like watching movies in a theatre. I could not believe that I gave in to my hubby and kids and was made to watch a 3D movie, not just any movie but STAR WARS!!! yikes!! and that too in Deutsch. 

In the end, I did get a great picture of the Kino(theatre) though.

By the way, the post title says Bye February in Deutsch..:-)

Tuesdays around the world

I am overwhelmed with all the colors of spring in everybody's corner of the world. It more than makes my day to see blooms of hyacinth and daffodils springing out from the ground awakening from their deep slumber.

As you can see from my pictures, we are still waiting for that burst of color.

And while we wait, others too are getting ready to begin their work with the arrival of spring. For instance those cruisers that are docked by the River Main. During winter, there are no Schiffahrt or river cruises happening. Reasons being too cold and possibilities of the river freezing. The germans do love sitting out in the open on their cruise.

With the temperature warming up I too should be presenting pictures of lovely green to you, soon.
