May Flowers Pt 4

Quince blossoms in the garden...

May Flowers Pt 3

And now the town is covered in lilac. Seemingly overnight, all of Sisian has been bathed in the warm, comforting scent of lilac.

May Flowers Pt2

Wildflower season is really starting to kick in here, so I'm ramping up my May Flowers series. I wish I knew the names of these...

Sisian from the South

I took a new running route today which brought me around to the southern side of Sisian. Since our house is located on the extreme northwest corner of town, I rarely come out this way- which is a shame because Sisian from the south offers a great panorama of the town resting in front of Mount  Ughtasar.

Still running- not very fast, mind you, but moving forward nevertheless. It's nice to be able to get outside of town and see the countryside without having to filter out the soviet-era concrete block apartment buildings first. :)

May Flowers pt 1

One of my favorite things about Armenia is the ridiculously amazing wildflowers they have here. So, welcome to the first installment my May Flowers post series. 

Happy May Day

May is here, and so in true Bryn Mawr fashion, I'm celebrating with strawberries and cream. It's a little early for strawberries, but we were able to find some in Yerevan, along with the cream (which you can't get here in Sisian). I'll admit that it's not the most decadent May Day Feast I've ever done, but it'll due for now.
