Spring is in the air



Ah, spring is in the air. I have been noticing the beautiful flowers around town and I thought these were especially worth sharing. From what I can tell, there are not any manicured gardens or potted plants, but many spaces are spotted with drought-resistant species such as these (which I think are relatives of the bougainvillea).

Another sign of spring has been the increase in temperature. This morning it was 8... which is much more comfortable for taking a shower than 4 (but still a bit chilly).

My team at work is getting ready for a marathon of meetings and events in anticipation of the kick-off of our project. The pilot study is complete and we will be presenting the findings, meeting with stakeholders, engaging community members, and having an intensive time of planning for the future during the coming days.

  1. Hi Katie,
    It is hard to think about the opposite seasons: while spring is emerging where you are, we are holding onto summer and hoping fall doesn't come too soon and interrupt this leisurely time of the year.
    Have you seen a sausage tree yet?
