The weather has changed sharply, and so have my habits. I spent the winter months curled up with podcasts playing and knitting needles clicking. Now, springtime has drawn me from my blanket nest and into the warm sunshine. I swear--read the rest for photo-documented proof.

| Biking. |
I spent the last weekend in April with my lovely roomie on the shores of Lake Eğirdir. The tiny town only 3 hours away made for a perfect weekend/J & E honeymoon. There aren't tourist sites to see, but there are plenty of scenic views and places to skip stones, so I was a happy girl.
The most memorable part of our trip was our 3-hour bike ride through an apple orchard. The scenes were incredible, and it felt nice to exercise a bit. Below are some shots from our ride:

| That's a big ole lake. |
After this excursion, I just had 1 day of teaching before BAM! it was the May Day holiday. I like to keep busy, so what did I do? First, I made some delicious apple cookies for the student-organized picnic. Then I attended the picnic, which was SUPER fun. These kids may be young, but they are expert BBQers.

| It's like a mini apple pie. |
The following day, after a teacher-training seminar, I went to Bayat. It's a village in the Afyonkarahisar province that is known for their kilim-making. The rugs are super beautiful. I couldn't go home without one.

That's what I've been up to as of late. Good friends. Good food. Good scenery.
