Dear readers

After a while a post again.
There are many things happening right now and I want to let you know that I'm going to take a break from blogging to have more time to spent with my family. Don't know when or if I'll be back, will let you know.
Thank you so very much for a wonderful time I've enjoyed it a lot.
See you all,
Karin

some plants are spending the remaining days till frost free nights
in our staircase.
Tagged by Ritva and Jo with a very long tag.

I guess I take the lazy version and choose just a few questions:

what is your current obsession - a garden with old trees where we can build a tree house

what are you wearing now - a very old yellow t-shirt with a deer Yellowstone park print,
brown sweater, grey jogging pants

do you nap a lot - if they let me

what was the last thing you bought - Brezel and Linzer Torte for guests we had yesterday

what is your favorite weather and why-sun and wind, cause it reminds me of the sea
what time you usually get up? - eight o'clock

what is your most challenging goal right now - being happy with the moment

say something to the persons who tagged you - you two make the bes silent and contemplative photos.

if you could have a house totally paid for, fully furnished anywhere in the world, where you want it to be? -  my favourite question :) in the Netherlands near the sea, Provence would be good too

favorite vacation spot? - Burgundy, Lago Maggiore, Netherlands again

name the things you cannot live without - making little trips with my kids and my boyfriend

what is your favorite tea flavor?-Rooibos

Part of the lazy and short version is to tag nobody new:) If anybody hasn't been tagged with this tag so far, feel free to do and let me know, so I can read your answers.
Have a beautiful day!

yesterday Oskar turned 5 and this pic was taken before his seven
wild little guests came for their visit.
After three hours of crazy and loud party everybody (including us)
was ready for bed :)

the year.

Madame Herve is a new fav design blog of mine.

Flea market again: we found for example this: a craft book for kids
from the late sixties about braiding with paper.
I did this a lot when I was in Kindergarten :)

stumbled over this again after a while: color-stripes

It was actually the first sushi of my life and I liked it a lot. Many little
delicious little bits. I chose the vegetarian set and for dessert a
Japanese waffle filled witth red bean paste.
