Something About Me
- Jenn in Holland
- The story begins like this: A couple of years ago my husband got a crazy notion in his head that returning to school after years in the professional world might be a good idea. So he and I along with our three children left our suburban life in the U.S. and traded it for a new adventure in The Netherlands.
The saga continues like this: A year of post graduate study was so much fun, we figured we'd stay a while longer. Working in a new field, attending new schools and living in a new city, I dare say we have settled into a rhythm in our expat lives.
This blog is the record I keep of our experiences here; good, bad and hilarious. Intended as an outlet for my expression, this is the place for me to say my something.
I welcome you warmly.

Spring bulbs are such a wonderful sight.. Could ahve done without the bad weather over the weekend though! Happy WW
ReplyDeleteHi there! We are having a snowstorm right now in southern Ontario. I read recently that we get 20% of our snow in spring. Now that's something to look forward to! Hope the daffodils live through it.
ReplyDeleteWait! I've seen those before--before the Woolly Mammoths started hanging out on our iceberg!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, Jen.
hmm I think it says "winter" more than it does "spring"
ReplyDeleteOops! Love the daffodils being so brave!
ReplyDeleteThe daffodils laugh at a mere sprinkling of snow.
ReplyDeleteSadly... you said it! Gorgeous photo, though.
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping we're done with the snow...I'm ready for Spring. Our daffodils are just started to peek out of the ground.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful reminder that life goes on no matter what!
ReplyDeleteGreat WW entry.
Real good to see it surviving the cold snow :) Happy WW!
ReplyDeleteawww... hope the flowers will survive the cold.
ReplyDeleteThis happened recently to another blogging buddy of mine. Hers survived to shine brightly; maybe yours will too!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photo. I love the contrast of the daffodils in the snow.
ReplyDeleteOddly enough, they're calling for snow here in Wisconsin, too.
The daffodils look so sad in the snow. I hope they survive.
ReplyDeleteNow THAT is a grey photograph.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty, baby doll!
ReplyDeleteThose daffodils are still shining through!
ReplyDeleteAwww, poor daffodils! I'm glad to see that they're still standing after the snow. There is something so wrong about the weather the last few years. :P
ReplyDeleteSeems like there have been lots of snowstorms this spring. Hope things get warmer soon.

I love how the blossoms look like they are LOOKING at the snow. Particularly the one on the right. Kind of like Are you kidding me?
ReplyDeleteHa! I wonder if the blooms are shivering. I wish it would warm up. http://karensopinion.com/2008/03/26/wordless-wednesday-6/
ReplyDeleteNothing like a little springtime snow to remind us that Mother Nature is still in charge. I hope it all melts soon and the blooms continue to flourish.
ReplyDeleteI've posted my Wordless Wednesday contribution here:

Not quite as pretty as yours, but it should bring a smile to your face all the same. I hope you'll drop by and say hi,
Have a great rest-of-WW. All the best!
