Three months down, three left to go at my second placement. Time is flying by, yet at the same time creeping along. Strange how it seems to do that to me all the time this year.
Now that May has come everything is in full bloom, the fields are starting to bud and the temperatures are steadily rising. This week we have had quite a bit of rain, but considering that it was dry most of April the farmers and their fields are very happy about this change in the weather.
I go about doing my routinely household chores. Laundry, ironing, vacuuming...sometimes I feel like am old housewife, but then I make myself remember that this is only for a year and I can run my household differently one day! There are other things that I am asked to help out with as well. I have helped paint the children's rooms, washed windows, and help out on the yard. Today I was asked to clean out the cabin's where to Polish workers that are coming to work on the surrounding farmer's fields are to live. They really do not get very much space, and the cabin's were a mess. It was pretty hard to get them into shape, to me they still don't seem that clean, though I did as much as I possibly could. I hope that they will feel well living in them. None of the workers are actually going to be working here, as the fields of the Fellmann's have not been planted this year, but they are living here because the Fellmann's have the cabins.
Last weekend I spent in Bechterdissen again. It was good to see Simon and spend some time with him. We went for a run together and he tolled me all about the playoffs and such.
This coming Wednesday we are going to a Hockey Game in Mannheim. Canada vs. Switzerland I believe. We shall see how that goes!
No feelings about summer? How are you doing? Especially so short before you have to return.
