  • trying to use video-modus

    The video is much too long, but meant just for practice …. She said : “If I’m leaving, you have to pick all the flowers from our garden and lay them on my coffin”. I didn’t tell her that it’s my intention to go first ….

  • Our garden ?

  • Our garden

    Happens a lot in our garden … I took some photos :

  • Mother & daughter gardening …

    The skills are passed on by mother to her daughter Weeds gradually give way to fruit trees, edible plants, herbs and of course ornamentals… And Hitch ensures that street cats defecate elsewhere !

  • Remembrance of the Dead

    Short after the two minutes of silence observed throughout the Netherlands, a Song-thrush came in our backyard to tell her story. After I watched all the television-interviews and stories of Holocaust-survivers, I wondered what she was trying to explain and how she remembered the dead ….

We decided to give it a third (fourth, fifth, sixth ; who knows ?) chance. The frame showed lots of earlier “restorations” 😉 I found out that hard wood has…
