a long weekend

We're having another long weekend here, tomorrow being a public holiday. Last week, my hubby had his Friday off and we spent the weekend at my in-law's as it was his grandma's birthday (she turned 94).

It was really pleasant to see the countryside coming back to life when we crossed the country. The fields are covered with thick lush greens and trees are gradually greening too. It's also the time when farmers prep up their soil for next season's crops and the smell of freshly fertilized earth really wakes you up.

Spring is a nice season indeed.. it's neither too cold nor too hot. But the weather can be deceiving in part.. it can be all sunny outside but you can still feel the chill and get all goosebumpy when you walk under a shade. So the best is to wear layers that can be easily put on or off.

I took a snap of the neighbour's garden across the street and their fruit trees are
flowering now (no thanks to the bees that like to hover around our windows, dear neighbour). Well they have cherry, apricot and pear trees I think. Too bad we don't know them.. we really should start making their acquaintance.. umm around the time their trees start to bear fruits.. heh ;)
