Hi Everyone!
Today,
everyone in the US should be participating in the Memorial Day celebrations
across the country. In an unlikely fluke, it too is a holiday here in Austria
and one we thought wasn’t going to have any good weather as it has been rainy and
cloudy since last Wednesday when we started off with some thunderstorms.

Overall,
it’s been a beautiful week because even though it was raining, it was warm and
nice when it wasn’t. Also, things got a lot greener around here with a whole
new and different set of flowers. We were pleasantly surprised with what
appeared to by wild flowers in many of our local parks and I’ll be able to
share some pictures of those with you here today.
Another
great thing we did was we took longer walks as the days are filled with
sunlight to a much later time. Slowly, this part of the world is coming to late
spring and hopefully, a more temperate summer. I don’t think I can take those
hot, muggy days that give me horrible headaches. That is so not how I want to
spend my last summer in Europe.

I’ve
been writing lots and therefore, there isn’t much to say about the past week. But
one of the most amazing things I did was to go through the Botanical Garden
again. It’s such an amazing place that I know I can go through it a variety of
times and still find something knew. So I’ll leave you with some great pictures
and my monthly spiel. Here are some of the wonderful things we saw this past
week and each of them are captioned appropriately.
I
wanted to remind everyone of my monthly giveaway. I give away a $25 gift
certificate of your choice. The rules are all listed in the right column of the
blog and here’s the recap: You must comment to enter. There’s a few other
technical things but really, all you need to do is read the post and make a
comment on what you’ve read. It’s that easy. I even occasionally throw in an
item or two from Vienna. The winner is chosen randomly via random.com for those
who wonder. If no one comments, no one gets the gift certificate and I really
want to give one away soon!
Hope
you enjoyed this little look into Austria and beyond. See you all next week!
Lynn
