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? 
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
