Can’t you just hear Mr. Rogers now? Or am I dating myself? Either way, it is a beautiful day in my neighborhood! I LOVE where I live and it occurred to me I should join up with the “Lately” link up and share those weekly reasons why my life here is so wonderful. I also think this could be a great way to stay positive and prevent that “expat funk” from setting in as we all know it can sneak up on you!
This is my past Saturday: waking up hearing hot air balloons over my roof {yes, they were so low I could hear them and you could see others in the distance}
then shopping with my two boys in the beautiful Trier Hauptmarkt….
Life is all what you make of it and lately, I’ve made it pretty wonderful. Happy Friday!
I’ve been the same - trying to enjoy these final warm days of summer!
I know! It’s already starting to hint of Fall weather!
Holy coincidence batman! Ive seen 2 hot air balloons…..and a blimp low enough i could hear it, in the past 2 days. Post coming soon. Random.
My husband said there was some kind of race or annual hot air balloon thing. I don’t know. I just thought it was cool.
I’ve wanted to go to Trier for ages, and your photos have just confirmed that I REALLY want to go! beautiful.
Oh I am so glad you enjoyed them! I didn’t even post all of the pics! I love shopping outdoors, especially with such beautiful scenery.
What lovely air balloons! I didn’t realize they made so much noise! They have a hot air balloon festival a few towns away that we have been meaning to go to. Just seeing your photos have me convinced-they look so beautiful!
Haha! I was in my son’s room and couldn’t figure out what I was hearing. It’s a hard noise to describe,but you know the sound I’m referring to….well the balloon was so close I’m sure I could’ve spoken to him! On those “close up” pictures I’ve shown, I’m not using zoom!
I can’t wait to get back to Trier! You are so incredibly lucky to live in such a beautiful area.
Thanks Megan! And I agree, I feel very lucky which is why I want to do these lately posts. Great reminders of reasons to be thankful!
Definitely a gorgeous day. I’m loving all of those flowers!
Me too! I love the Hauptmarkt because of all the fresh flowers, fruits and veggies!
Beautiful!
Thank you!
Great pictures! We see a lot of hot air balloons in our neighborhood, too. After we moved in last year, we thought there was some sort of event, but we’ve since learned that we’re just on a popular ballooning path through the province.
And you’re town is beautiful - what a nice looking place to live!
Awww, thank you! I do love where I live. I’m just ready to be anywhere below the third floor! Yikes!
Hi Deanna! Thank you so much for stopping by and being a new follower! I used to live in Trier for 12 years!!! You still live there? I will move to El Dorado/Arkansas early next year though… Currently I’m in Fuerth, Bavaria. I follow your blog for a few weeks now and love the pics of my old “hood” lol
Hi Anni! Yes I am still here (right outside of Trier)…we just got here in May. My husband grew up here. Arkansas? What’s taking you there? haha so glad you are enjoying them!
