May 8th was a somewhat warm Saturday, which made this the nicest day for a stroll in our favorite--Lazienki Park. Missing the Spring flowering trees of North Carolina, this was the closest we've seen in Warsaw. People said to wait until the end of April to see flowering trees, but we may have waited a bit too long, as one young sister missionary said there were Magnolia trees. Hard too believe they could thrive in the cold climate of Poland.
Still there were some beautiful trees last week. Monday morning we had sloneczna pogoda (sunny weather) and I ventured to the mall wearing a short-sleeve T-shirt. But by afternoon it was pochmurna (cloudy) with some rain. The rest of the week weather was similar and I didn't leave home without a jacket and an umbrella that turned out to come in handy several days
The picture above was actually taken a couple weeks before.
THe tulips are breathtaking! Thanks for sharing! Enjoy the wonderful season!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures! I love the flowers! Yeah it's spring! No more cold for you for a while I hope.:-)
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful places to see! Don't you just LOVE this time of year?!
ReplyDeleteI usually do love this time of year, but we've had over a week of rainy, mostly cold weather so it's a good thing we took pictures to remember our beautiful spring weather! But don't feel too sorry for us--next week is our trip to Italy where it should be warmer! Let's just hope it won't be raining!
ReplyDeleteThese pictures are absolutely beautiful! My goodness, they look like they came straight from a postcard! I am so glad that you have gotten to know Karen - she is such a neat person. I have fond memories with her as youngins and wish I could meet her husband and son too. Since I didn't say it before, congrats on all the exciting news in your family!
