So these pictures are all backwards. I don't think that really matters. Either way, this is my small attempt to update you. I've been all over amsterdam and haarlem now, but these pictures are from santpoord-noord, where linda lives and i have been staying. all of the crocuses are coming up now.. not in the gardens, but in the lawns. i can't explain how beautiful it is. i'm a little sad because i'll be leaving shortly before all of the tulips and daffodils come out. the medians are full of them... soon they'll all be blooming.
This is lindas home... not to be confused with next door. i always have to look closely to choose the right door... but its a great little house. the stairs are lethal. linda lives in the attic and the second flight of stairs is pretty much straight up. i managed to get my entire breakfast AND a coffee up with me this morning. believe me, it's a feat.
There are woods nearby her house... we took a little bit of a walk in them yesterday after church. it was a beautiful day, windy like always, but the sun was shining.
Here is Linda and I posing on the flower-filled lawns:
The happy engaged couple:
This is the trademark windmill, 5 minutes from linda house:

I love the crocuses! My Mom says that when she was a little girl, the crocuses in Manitoba were all over the place in the spring just like in your photos. Our provincial floral emblem....so sad that we don't have them like that anymore.
You sure have made the most of your time there - memories for a lifetime!
Hugs,
Marsha
