What I like 'bout here, The Count Down, Day 66 & 65

Day 66: Poppies growing as wild flowers alongside the roads and in the wheat fields.

Day 65: Sitting and sharing lunch with the older ladies from the Gemeinde "church" www.feg-rebland.de and finding out that "little Old ladies" are the same around the world.

How would you spend the last bit of your grocery money?

Today, the answer to that question is: on a bunch of roses. It has been a dreary of a winter, but in the last couple of days the weather has warmed up and as the grocery store managers know these facts, they have placed all of the cut tulips and roses and spring flowers right in the middle of the main aisle. Thus, I counted my "klein Geld" and made do so as to bring some spring colour into the house! Ahh! Spring, always just around the corner until you are actually upon us in full bloom!

What a difference a day makes ...

... 24 little hours (sing with me!!!)

ah yes. March in Germany. Take nothing for granted, folks, this month will throw you for a loop.

From balmy Spring-like conditions one day, to a flurry of snow the next (wait five minutes, it'll change) it's always fun!

Here are some garden pics (for comparison) from this morning (click for larger view):
