my German just won’t cut it

Behold! There is another Lonely Librarian on the other side of the globe. She linked to me, so I had to give her the shout out! Hey! Ho! We are both a little less lonely, though she definitely has the advantage over me of being obviously bilingual. [Not so sure my design is all that much nicer, but thanks!]

Still enjoying Pittsburgh’s run of impossibly beautiful and warm autumn weather and looking forward to my walk at lunch-time. I want to absorb all the sun I can because heaven knows when it disappears for the Winter I’ll be suffering.

This is a good opportunity, though, to enthuse about Pittsburgh weather. My friends here balk, but there’s a lot more sun and balminess to be had here than in my former town of Ithaca, New York. The Winters here feel like a personal gift. Sure, it can be a little wet and dark, but unlike other places I’ve lived (ahem!) Spring has fully arrived by April around here, Fall actually hangs on for a while (to wit – the previous paragraph), and Winter hasn’t destroyed your soul by January 20th. ‘Burghers, you don’t know how great you’ve got it!
