Tonight when I was getting ready to make dinner I saw a beautiful amber colored glow in our dining room.  I looked out to see what was happening outside and saw the sun setting behind our building.  I know when I start seeing the lovely gold and purple sunsets that spring is well on it’s way.  I ran to get …

April doet wat hij wil is a saying about the spring weather in the Netherlands.  It means “April does what it wants”, and boy does it!   A lot of people get irritated by not knowing what the weather will be like from one moment to the next, but I like it.   We go from days of 20-25 degree sunny weather, …
