Cherry Blossoms

It is a gorgeous Monday afternoon! I am all done with classes and able to fully appreciate the sunshine.

This past weekend I saw some of the most lovely flowers blooming around campus. Though I've already done a handful of flower posts, I just couldn't resist sharing more photos with you all!

I hope you're all enjoying the beginnings of spring weather! I'm absolutely loving it. A chance to get outside, get more active, take in the fresh air without freezing my nose off.

It's also the last full week of school (time goes by way too quickly), so unfortunately this gorgeous weather is making it a bit trickier to concentrate, which I really should be doing in these last few days of class. But in just a month I will be completely done my first year of uni - it's insane. This year has been quite the adventure.

I do hope you all have wonderful weeks.

Flowers!

Hi everyone!

The weather here has been absolutely gorgeous. Clear skies, bright sun, slightest breeze. I can actually feel the warmth of the sun when it hits me. It's glorious.

With this beautiful spring-like weather comes the beginnings of our spring flowers! Campus is looking amazing already, I'm so excited.

I'm so enjoying all the bright colours! I thought that these crocuses were especially gorgeous. 

I hope you are all having wonderful weeks!

A Little Hope

Hey everyone! I hope your Februaries are off to an excellent start.

I've been horribly busy with assignments that seem never-ending, and now the sudden onslaught of midterms, so this is probably going to be one of the few blog updates I'll be posting for this next little while. And it's not a very riveting one, I'm afraid.

Life has been unexciting, but still lovely. The weather has been absolutely gorgeous, though frightfully cold, but we're surviving, just a little more red-cheeked and grumbly than usual. And like I said, midterm season is upon us, so we're staying indoors with our noses tucked into our textbooks anyway.

I did managed to escape the grasp of my calculus notes for a little while yesterday, though, and took some pictures around campus. It was just before sunset and the sun was hitting the clouds in a most spectacular way. But the picture I like the best is this one:

The composition is a bit meh and it's a fairly unexciting picture, but I just love how even in this bleak, grey February weather, bright flowers can be found, even if they are tiny ones like these. Gives me a little hope, you know?

Plus it makes me even more excited for spring. I can't wait to see the fresh green and the beautiful flowers.

... wearing wild flowers in our hair." -Susan Polis Schutz

I do like that quote! I don't have a whole lot to say today, but I did take a break from the craziness of my last week of school to take a few pictures of some of the gorgeous flowers in our garden. Enjoy!

I know I said flowers, but come on. Look at that face!

Not 100% sure what these are. Crocuses?

Clematis!

Pansies - one of my favourites flowers!

FANTASTIC lavender hybrid type things. They look a little like pineapples, don't they?!

Lastly, my forever elegant (and slightly insane) cat, Charlie

I hope you enjoyed that small tour through our small but lovely garden! A lot of the time it's pretty tired-looking, but when it's in bloom, it's gorgeous. What are some of your favourite plants or flowers?
