Spring

It is “spring” here in Mongolia—the season of constantly changing weather and inexplicably tired people. Case in point: today started off beautifully with warm temperatures, little wind, and bright sunshine streaming through my window at 6 AM. By 10:17 it was snowing—yet still so warm that I went out on our balcony barefoot and in short-sleeves and wasn’t cold. Within 20 minutes the only remaining snow was in the shadows of buildings




At 11:35 it started snowing again and it was coming down harder and the wind was colder.






By 1:02 PM, when the last picture was taken, the snow was gone and the sun was back. The afternoon then rounded itself out with two or three dust storms (separated by beautiful periods of light breezes and sun), and a bitingly cold north wind. I’m curious to see what tomorrow will bring.
