It's time for welcoming a new season as it seems: the mornings are crisp, the spiderwebs are in the bushes, the apples are about to be picked from the tree, the rose hips are in a fantastic red and the last rose is showing its beauty in our garden.

Yesterday a friend and I made the "Schultuete", a large cornet of cardboard filled with sweets and little presents given to children in Germany on their first day at school. Time flies, I mean hasn't she just had her first day of Kindergarden? Sigh...

Enjoy the days and the stories they bring along...
