Spring

I think spring has sprung over here. Well, not quite. It won't really feel like spring until we change the clocks this coming Thursday night. I CAN'T WAIT!

Here are some pics of our 6 floor building and the "bloomage" in the yard around it:



Walk going up to the door of the building



Back yard of the building

Construction going on down the block from us. They will slowly be working their way our direction and building these 8 floor monstrosities directly across from us where right now there is open land.

No idea what kind of flower this is but it's so pretty!

Nor this one but the blossoms remind me of brightly colored parrots....

Very strange looking blossom....but bright and cheerful.

That's how they look on the tree outside our building.



Hybiscus blossom - large and dramatic!



Hybiscus bush



Shesek (loquat) tree outside our building.





Not-yet-ripe shesek (loquats)......when they're ripe they'll turn a medium shade of yellow/orange and they're about the size of a golf ball and pear shaped with 3 large pits inside. Very yummy!



Our vaccum cleaner died on Friday and we were told it's not worth repairing. That's just great with Passover around the corner and all the house cleaning that that entails.
