Spring has sprung here in Graz. As I walked around central Graz the other day I took a few photos of the blooming flowers near Jakominiplatz, the other big square in central Graz. The flowerbeds were full of color and the fountain was splendid.

During my ramblings I met a street musician named Rudy, who plays Briton Harp. It was nice getting to talk with a fellow harpist and he even asked me to sing along to a couple of Irish tunes he knew. We received compliments after performing “In the Sally Gardens” together.

He was playing in the Hauptplatz.
Our own yard was also blooming with little yellow flowers all over the ground. All the trees are full of white and pink blossoms. There are a lot of yellow plum and cherry trees in the area. Ms. Elizabeth, our host Johannes’ mother, was cutting branches off the yellow plum tree and she offered me a few to decorate our home. The little white flowers of the yellow plum smelled sweet!
