Spring Rains ...and Rains




Ug! I was told that if I made it through the cold and dark winter days, Spring in Germany was the reward. Everyone speaks about "last May"...how HOT it was, how people went out for the morning without sunscreen and came back with a burn...well, that is not a Germany with which I am familiar. They are just mean people spreading untruths. May Day is when the rain started to pour..and pour..and it wasn't stopping. We had to make the best of it...we pulled out the finger paints, then the Play dough and then when we couldn't take much more, we headed out in our rain gear to splash in the puddles and the mud.








Just when we started to embrace the rainy weather, something amazing happened.  The sun came out... and with it our tulips bloomed (as did our moods).
