SPRING!

Walk last night

Ephemerals
Lake Monona and downtown



I'm learning that spring is really just a long transition. The most exciting thing about spring is the continual change outside. Everyday it seems like there are new flowers and buds and leaves on trees. There are tulips and daffodils everywhere, and the FARMER'S MARKET returns this Saturday!!!!!!! Yay!

Yesterday I finally heard that I didn't get the assistantship at UTK, so I'll be staying in Madison next year. Seeing as I love Madison, I am very excited. Mark and I celebrated finally knowing what we're doing next year last night by getting some ice cream and eating it at the park at the end of our street. We also went for a walk at Olin park (which is on the other side of Lake Monona). We saw a chimpmunk, three deer, and three muskrats as well as lots of cool ephemerals peeking their heads out of the ground for a brief stint.
