What a great picture to go with that haiku! Enjoy the sun while you have it! I'm soaking it in here too because I know that fall and winter are going to creep their ugly heads in around here way too soon. Not sure why I live in New England. I hate snow.
Ah, Jenn, I think you've accurately depicted how my best friend, late of California and now hailing from New Zealand, feels. I shall send her this because, yeah, you're right.
Oh, it's so full of great imagery! I can feel the sun baking on my arms, even though I'm sitting here looking outside at the wind thrashing the trees around and threatening to take away my internets.... :)
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.
Oh, such a sweet and fun and cute haiku! I love the picture.
