I think I could have gone flower crazy. After living in our dark apartment in Seattle, I was so excited to have access to light and fresh air. I have always remembered Germany as having lots of flowers everywhere and I was determined to try and add my contribution. Plus, it was so peaceful and relaxing to come home from the hospital and play in dirt organizing flowers. Now it is turning cold and certain flowers are starting to die off, but I am already planning which ones I will plant for next year. By the third summer here I might just look like a German house after all.
