Incredible how this looks. The Peonies have just started to bloom last couple of weeks and they are in full bloom. Going to take some of that are feeling like big marshmallows and remove the leaves. Then wrap them into paper and store in fridge for later blooming.

I really hope this works well. First time trying this. But who knew I would have a fridge full of flowers instead of food.

Well who needs food when we can have this amazing sent of peonies

File 2017-05-17, 12 40 02 PMYes finally something fresh again from my garden….Rhubarb is ready for some good stuff. I love to make this flan we call “Weihe” in Switzerland. So yummy and soooo easy to make too. File 2017-05-17, 12 39 45 PM

Make a pastry from flour, butter, water, vinegar and salt. Let it rest for about 1 hour in fridge. Roll the pastry out and place in backing dish, add the cut up rhubarb. Place in oven for 10 min. Now add the egg,milk and sugar mix to the flan backing in oven  for another 45 min or till egg mixture is solid.

Ohhh sooo yummy

I am not sure when I have planted them in my garden last year.

Love how they make my face smile though

 I can sit next to them and enjoy them smiling at me….

Bin nicht sicher wann ich diese Margeritten letztes Jahr gepflanzt hatte.

Mein Gesicht lacht doch wenn ich diese sehen kann.

Es kommt mir vor als Lachen sie zurück zu mir wenn ich so daneben sitze…

Snowing on Mother’s Day wow look at this snow…burrr cold again. 

After we had already so many gorgeous days.  What is this weather doing this year? 

Es schneit hier am Muttertag….burrrr so kalt wieder.

Nach all den wunderschön warmen Tagen die wir schon hatten .  Was macht auch das Wetter wieder?

 

 

Now we are on our way to Hamilton and the clouds are still heavy but as you can see on the way home it is getting sunnier again so this we all know will not last long …as we are in Spring…..and nicer days will be around the corner again.

Nun sind wir auf dem Weg nach Hamilton die Wolken sind immer noch schwer. Doch als der Tag zu ging kam die Sonne heraus.  Wir sind ja im Frühling und die schönen Tage sind um die Ecken.

Well the day  had many surprises some very nice once that a lot of time, thoughts and hand crafting went into it.

Ohhh and not to forget with a lot of  LOVE for Mom. 

 Thank You with all my heart and love for you ……

Auch hatte der Tag viele schöne Überraschungen

 die mit viel Lieb, Überlegung, Gedenken und auch von Hand hergestellt wurden. 

Von meinem Herzen Lieben Dank and Euch I love you too….

Winter Pictures in the Yard

It was January 3rd. 2010. The new Millennium and guess what we have received our first cold cold cold winter blessing for the New Year.  Minus 19 and adding on the wind brings it to minus- 25 BURRRR………

You can say that again.  I just finished shovelling the snow on our driveway.  And just had to take some shots.  My fingers are freezing as gloves just don’t work well pushing the small little button on my camera.  Ohhh I just remember I made those “Fingerless Gloves”, where are they now?  In the house, what good are they there!!  I will take the pictures quick and next times, I am sure will come soon…….take the gloves too.

Freezing cold……..

Winter Fotos in dem Garten

In dem Haus, wie gut sind sie da! Ich werde die Bilder schnell schnell nehmen und das nächsten Mal, da bin ich sicher wird bald kommen …….nehme ich die Handschuhe mit.

Day Outside in Our Neighbourhood

Just happen to have our camera with me to get these great pictures.  I always like the grasses and this grass is flowing so softly in the late fall breeze.  I am hoping to add some of this tall soft looking perennial to my garden this spring…..but oh that is still about five months away before I can plant again.

I took several pictures with different settings. 

 Fuer meine Deutsch sprechende Freund:

Ein Tag draußen in unser Nachbarschaft
So… hatte unserer Kamera gerad zufaellig mit mir um diese schoenen  Bilder zu nehmen. Ich mag die Gräser es ist so weich und fließend in der spähten Herbst Brise. Ich hoffe, einige dieser mehrjaerigen Gräsern in unseren Garten zu pflanzen im Frühjahr….. aber ach, noch rund fünf Monate bis dann.
Ich hatte mehrere Bilder mit unterschiedlichen Einstellungen genommen.
