have you met LITTLE LAUGHING DOG yet?

he´s a Cocktail Sherrier, a rare but jolly breed - isn´t that right, K?

today he had a small meal of salt & vinegar chips and OLIVE BISCUIT COOKIES

(he can´t show you a picture of these - he didn´t refrigerate the dough long enough

so they didn´t keep their shape and turned out like one giant cookie

their looks would probably keep you from trying these - and you should

don´t forget - it´s all about inner beauty)

now he is of to play in the stormy birch woods

and meeting some of his cross stitch friends

interested in meeting them, too?

well, maybe i´ll manage to take a picture of them...

a post on trees

almost everything you see here is made by or of trees

(well, i don´t know how much of a tree is actually in a polaroid,

but it´s a polaroid of a tree)

is it okay to get wood heating material

and mourning for the trees of Stuttgart at the same time?

i don´t live there anymore

but i every time i went there by train

those giants where the first beautiful sign of this city, a swabian greeting

of course this is nothing

compared to the irreparable damage done to ecosystems every day

yet i am sad

and i feel sorry for those who got hurt trying to save them

W is harvesting and storing apples

it´s starting to get quite chilly outside although the sun is shining

but our little summer house stays cozy with a bit of candle light for heating

the red and yellow striped fabric is a very nice gift from Sara

S finally used it for some pillow cases

and GLASS BEAD NECKLACE S
