In Bloom

When you think of Jordan (or anywhere in the Middle East), you think of the desert, and rightly so.  Most of the area is desert or semi-desert, and there are places that get as much rain in a whole year as we get in one week back home.  What's more, most of this meager amount of rain comes between December and March.  However, because it comes in a few short months, we get a couple months of green to start the springtime!

Here are a few recent pictures from around our place:

As you can see, springtime in Jordan is beautiful.  Still, we can't wait to get back home.  We love and miss everyone very much.  See you all this summer!
