a bit on gardening and PIN rings

. 

things i´ve learned so far: 

- patience is the number one virtue in a garden 

now i always get the smaller flower pot available to become even more patient

- it takes up to 20 years to graft mistle toe onto an apple tree 

and many more years until this little parasite gets little berries himself

- you can get those berries to use for grafting on a garden dump

not any garden dump, a cemetery one

which is also a good source for miniature thujas and ceders around chistmas time

to grow an eerie looking dollhouse wood with

and to get the weirdest collection of strange single tulips in springtime

- wisdom from the chief gardener -

who already did an amazing job unraveling 4 cubic meters of Virginia creeper

until there were only those two twines left adorning the house

. 

can´t wait what he comes up with in Spring

when we try to get a rockery hidden under ivy and spruce tree stumps back to shape 

. 

W made a Pin number star shaped punch for our PIN RING 

and now we´re thinking about the option to actually get an important number engraved inside the ring

the design is one of his from the 70s

and he wanted to adorn it with a bit of a secret

. 

got a huge apple crop? 

make the APPLE MARMALADE CANDY 

one of the best sweet things i ever tasted 

sent half of it to E but it got lost in the mail

.

got those lovely vintage hanging baskets for my birthday back in May

now i finally got to teach myself how to macramee those strings

it´s a fun and quite easy thing to do

.

what do we think of Lana Del Reys pink angora sweater?

almost choked on the fuzz

but it is kind of hot - temperature wise
