Finally, it's here...

„Frühling lässt sein blaues Band
Wieder flattern durch die Lüfte;
Süße, wohlbekannte Düfte
Streifen ahnungsvoll das Land.
Veilchen träumen schon,
Wollen balde kommen.
Horch, von fern ein leiser Harfenton!
Frühling, ja Du bist 's!
Dich hab’ ich vernommen! “

von Eduard Mörike 1829

Spring lets her blue ribbon
Flutter in the breeze again;
Sweet, familiar scents
Drift with promise o'er the land.
Violets lie dreaming now,
Soon to be awakened.
—Listen, the sound of a harp,
    so faint from so far!
Spring, it is you!
I can hear you coming!

Kure Beach, North Carolina

Thought I would show you some pics from our trip to the beach in North Carolina.

I'll let the photos speak for themselves.

We had a fantastic time.

I discovered Fado and I love it, especially Ana Moura.

My kind of music.

Have a great week ahead!
