Look, It's Spring!

I have a new love this Spring... magnolia trees. They are simply beautiful. I am so much more aware of Spring here in Boston than I ever was in Utah. This is probably a combination of the depressing New England winter I endured and the abundance of trees and flowers here. I am also currently reading the Anne series which are filled with praise for the beauties of nature in springtime. I only wish I were as eloquent as L.M. in describing them. It is thrilling to me to walk past trees and see the budding flowers beginning to show their faces. Last weekend, I called out to show my friends a particulary adorable bud and a passerby said, "Look, spring!" I had to smile and blush (just a little). Life really is about little pleasures.

In an effort to enjoy the beautiful weather, which has been unusually warm in the 80's, some friends and I went walking after church in the Mt. Auburn cemetary, just down the street. It was a lovely way to spend Sunday afternoon.
As a side note... I dyed my hair last week. This was the first time I attempted the matter all by myself. It was a messy affair, but I'm happy with the result. It made me wish I had roommates to help... hopefully I will before too long. I had just a few grey hairs *sigh* to cover up and I have had so many different attempts at highlights in the last year, it is nice to have all of my hair the same color at last. I think that I am going to cut it short now. I've been toying with the idea and have almost completely made my mind up to do it.
