Blessed Easter!

Christ is Risen! 

We had a lovely Retreat in Heidelberg. Pictures will follow.

Holy Saturday

Heidelberg, Germany

We are here for the Easter Retreat. But Internet is nearly non-existent at the youth hostel. I will add photos, when I can. 

Blessed holy-day to you. 

Good Friday

Autobahn Kirche

On our way north in Germany we stopped here briefly. 

It makes one wonder….

The Lamb, first pre-figuring, then God in the flesh.

Blessed Good Friday. 

Giardina 2

Onward

Flowers? A student exhibit.

Garden furnishings. Yup. 

Because we like color.

Think of the logistics: get these to bloom at the exact right time, transport them to the exhibition hall, plant them to look natural, and keep them alive until you have to undo it all after four days. 

The Italian garden look. 

And what kind of stone would you like for your terrace?

Or this stone?

Or this? 

To be continued.

Maybe with an interruption with pictures from Germany, where we are going for the Easter weekend Retreat.

Garden Show

To be continued…

Spring Flowers

Spirit-lifting

Foraging Time

Wild Weeds 

The Garden Show is still coming here, but I have been buuuuuussy, and toddling about hither and yon.

But in a tribute to Spring around the corner, we have started gathering and eating greens from our area in our salads again. Spring tonic. Highly recommended, if you have a clean area. Bärlauch (which I think you call wild garlic), Dandelions, and various small greens and flowers. 

Garden ShowTime

In Zürich

Today we went to the annual garden show. My pictures haven’t up loaded yet, and it’s too late to wait for them, but probably tomorrow I can share some. For now, a couple from a flower shop in the Old Town.

Forsythia and daffodils are blooming here all over now.

Winter Returns

See the Flowers? No.

And still coming down.

Spring is Springing

Colors Coming

We are hoping hard that the trees don’t flower yet. We want fruit this year!

But snowbells are quite welcome.

Happy March

New Month, New Opportunities 

Winter flowers 

Vinca minor, a spring flower, much too early, from an unseasonably warm February.

Snow drops, a winter flower.

A few weeks too early for Forsythia.

And the rhubarb is pushing hard.
