Okay, I'm still a little bummed this past winter wasn't very snowy, but as expected, and just like last year, spring warms even my winter-loving heart. The crocuses are blooming, the birds are singing, and the warmer weather is bringing everyone out of doors.
The field near my apartment was so full of activity last evening as I walked home. People were playing frisbee, soccer, football, basketball, and field hockey, while others were running laps, or just sitting enjoying the pleasant air. It's funny how 5 o'clock can seem like night during the winter and like the afternoon in the summer. Greg described it perfectly: it's like a scene from a movie, set in a busy park, and the director just yelled, "Action!"
Boston Latin School is the first public school and the oldest existing school in the United States. Here it is reflected in the New Research Building (the NRB). The NRB is fairly new (2003), but how long do they think they can use that name? The NRB is the largest building ever built by Harvard University and it's the largest expansion of Harvard Medical School in the past 100 years. Harvard Medical School was founded in 1782.
Here's the Harvard Medical School Quad yesterday at lunch. It was a beautiful day for eating outside. I ate outside in San Diego all the time, but I really do appreciate it more after the winter. Goodbye leg warmers, hello flip flops.
I've gotten a little cocky-is-too-strong-a-word about my GustBuster umbrella. It busts the heck out of gusts. I'll have to take some photos of it...but seriously, look at this awful umbrella!
I brought Greg a sprig of a succulent from my parents' house when I was home for Christmas. He stuck it in regular soil in a Fluff container, and somehow, it's happy. It's grown a lot, and last week it bloomed! The native flowers here are much showier than desert flowers, so I was the only one in our office to notice the blooms, but weren't they great?!
