the sun is out...

yes finally the sun is out two days in a row...
and there is nothing to hold us back from going outside and enjoying the garden. a friend stopped by with a bucket full of plums, thank you to our dear friend h. it is very refreshing to receive a phone call shortly before lunch, with the question if we could use some plums, and if so, they would be delivered to our house by bike later in the day! of course we love plums and what a service to get them delivered! i also picked some fallen apples from behind the house and nothing could stop me from cooking jam...

the herbs and flowers in the front of the house soak up every bit of sunshine, what a joy to see the rosemary grow and have these pink echinacea purpurea beam at me every time i'm walking out of the house.
and then there has been lots of play going on. thea has become a big "gamer" and it is fun to play with her, not just memory anymore, there are different card games now. for the past few days it has been "kleine fische" a fun game about taking risks, and she loves the risky business. not just when playing games, also on the swing and climbing trees or humans...
