spring!

Spring has finallyyyy showed its pretty face around here. Yesterday was a blissful 75 degrees with a nice wetness in the air and a breeze that blew all the nice spring-time scents through my apartment. The trees are starting to bloom (like this gorgeous pink-flower fellow next door) and an owl decided to roost somewhere in the neighborhood and has been pleasantly hooting the arrival of nice weather. I even had to pull out my fan, because it was almost too balmy. 


I took a walk downtown to enjoy the weather and picked up some dark chocolate on the trek back home (Ghiradelli's Dark with Raspberry, yum). I think my taste palate is finally maturing, because I can't get enough of dark chocolate lately. Me, the queen of milky chocolatey goodies. I've also can't get enough of huge, crispy green salads with hummus and sesame ginger dressing. I made this one for lunch... and now I'm off to study in front of my open (!) bedroom window.  Not too shabby, I must say. Happy spring!
