We had our first rainy day last week- but the flowers are out and blooming, drinking up the rain and intermittent sunshine. Photo on the left is the main street into base. Lots of steep hills around here!
There is a beautiful parkway between our house and the route to the main highway- the forsythia are in full bloom along the road. It reminds me of a bush that grew in our backyard when I was a kid.
This weekend we went for a walk
downtown to shop for a lightweight blanket for our bed. The cherry blossoms were blooming along the street, the forsythia hedges were spilling over the fences in the neighborhood. A lovely time of year to be in Korea! And to think it was all brown and dirty just 10 days ago! The boys were nice enough to pose for the camera while we walked downtown- a light breeze was blowing the petals off the buds- Evan was excited to see "snow" again :)
Sunday afternoon we went for a drive to explore the area near Pyongtaek. We didn't make it to the lake, but visited a high-rise mall/grocery store while Evan napped. I took this picture on the way back to Songtan. I think it's an elementary school- all the schools here are very colorful with huge playgrounds and green space around them. The plantings near city buildings are quite spectacular. Evan's school is happily decorated in spring colors with amazing detail and 3D foam irises on the seasonal bulletin boards- I'll try to take a picture in the coming days.
