The end is in sight

No, not the end of this road, dummy! Only two more weeks, and then our time of separation is over. 

During this time, I have learnt to make my own breakfast...
 

... and Tiroler Gröstl...



 I was in charge of the yard...

 
and in charge of photography...

 



(yes, that is my finger that you see on the top right.)

So far, this semester has been busy so I was never bored, but this weekend was kind of quiet work-wise, so I went for a bike ride.

 ... and this
 

All these crosses have always freaked me out (and to be honest, the three crosses have always reminded me of the KKK).

 

Today's bike ride was informative as well as quite gorgeous, and I found out that the land-and-farm-with-too-many-crosses are in fact part of the National Memorial to the Progress of the Colored Race in America founded by Lightfoot Solomon Michaux.

 That just goes to show that I still don't understand s**t about this part of the world.

Pretty Flowers and Almost Disaster

Having a yard full of flowers to look at can be very relaxing...














But I have learnt today it is better to stay inside when it is windy.
 

This branch missed our sunroom by about 5 inches, broke our table into tiny pieces,
 

and even hit made a bit of a hole in the ground.

Luckily, that was all. Still, it was enough (OK, maybe my natural laziness helped a bit too) to convince me it was unsafe to ride my bike to go out tonight...

This Year's Prediction

'merica!
