This is one of my favorites. The flowers here are beautiful. And I'll spare you from meaningless millions of pictures of them because they're much better to see in person, in context.Karen, the boys, and I went on a "hike" earlier this week up into the hills of Sighisoara. We went as high as we could and this is a taste of what it looked like:
I tried to do this panoramic thing with my computer. It didn't quite turn out like I'd hoped. But no worries, I have a video for you:

Zoomed in picture on the citadel/clock tower area.
Karen and I also tromped down to the market yesterday. It was "market day" and I really love going on those days. There are a ton of people. The little old Romanian ladies smile wide at me and I smile right back. The atmosphere buzzes. I can't get enough of it!
This picture doesn't do the market justice. There will be plenty more to follow throughout the year though.
And this is just the accomplishment I'm most proud of this week. My closet. Woot woot.
Rope and nails: about 5 lei
Having a closet: priceless
The reason for the title:
I sat on my back steps last night after the boys had fallen asleep and Karen n' Maurice were on a walk. I spent time to just absorb the not-so-silent silence. The wind picked up fast and the trees bent and swayed. The grapevine twisted every which way and exposed the silver backs of grape leaves. I felt the left over heat of the day mix with the oncoming storm coolness and brush against my knees and face. The skies flashed behind the hills that surround us and the ground rumbled. It was fantastic to once again be reminded that our God is fierce, a God to be feared.
I absolutely love storms. And they seem even more intense here on the hilltops of Romania.
God romances me stupendously.
It's good to know he can never be outdone and will keep at it forever. =]
[Did I scare anyone?]
