Not the best picture but I didn't have my camera but February marks the beginning of spring with the plum blossoms. In all honesty, these are more beautiful than cherry blossoms and they last longer. The narcissus have bloomed and the calendula are bright orange.
The unseasonal weather continues - torrential rains and high winds and warm temperatures are confusing our crops. The temperature is expected to suddenly drop before spring officially gets underway. The wheat is standing in water and the canals are full of muddy run-off.
Today, Feb. 11 was a holiday - it's National Founding Day. Taka went to work for holiday pay and Maya went to a study class all day - they just don't get the idea of "day off."
