a quick weird post

before a little sunny dinner on the veranda

.

inspired (like a lot of bloggers) by ELISABETHS post

on showing your face on your blog

(RIKE is even smiling at us quite animated now - nice)

i think i only showed pictures of tiny me so far

and i still don´t feel comfortable showing too much

.

BUT here are some paintings E (that´s my talented sister) made of me

(since pictures couldn´t do their colours justice i changed them a bit)

she actually did a lot of those

while i was quite immobilized by back pain

there´s even one of me taking a bath (sold)

an other time i have to show you her "early masterpiece" grumpy me

.

also some pictures from a photo booth

i look a lot like W in his crazy hair time in those

(well, his hair is always crazy)

and really shocked by the flash

.

where are you?

a more cheery TINY BOUQUET for my mothers birthday

(although it looked a bit teary from all the heavy rain)

made of geranium flowers and turned purple columbine leaves

.

and a bit of food

i used a yeast alternate for making this bread

which turned out not that great, since it would have needed a 30 degree Celsius environment for 24 hours

and it was very cold instead

but it had sour cherries in it so it was okay

.

started to take new pictures for the SHOP

since i don´t like the messy look that´s going on over there

.

AND: thank you for all your nice comments lately

you are the best

 

today would have been my grandmothers birthday

.

went into her wild garden and made her an equally free spirited TINY BOUQUET

.

as a teenager she wrote "my ideals" on the back of the left picture

- music, hiking and Bavarian mountains -

she took it for photography class

so maybe this messy weedy flowers are to her liking

.

the other picture seems even older

i think it shows her fathers hiking equipment

(the little paper corn flower i found on the flea market this weekend

somehow reminded my of those pictures)

 .

i miss you

be quick

go out in the woods in the next couple of days - don´t wait any longer
(and check for ticks afterwards)

or it´s too late for SPRUCE TIP HONEY

.

i went out in my garden right after reading the post by FRÄULEIN TEXT

and also i wasn´t so sure about the whole thing

when my appartment started to smell like mountain pine bath additive

i couldn´t be more pleased with the result

such an unusual woodsy taste and rich dark colour

already had it with my morning spelt porridge

and i bet it would be marvelous on the Raisin Scones from GOOD TO THE GRAIN

.

there´s a different version (in english) over at HUNGRY GHOST
