It is SUMMER SEASON inEurope right noW!
Everything is in full blooM, the schools are on holidaY for about 6weeKs!
Here, in Baden Württemberg(south Germany), the seasonal fruit( apples, cherries, plums) are looking gooD & are ripe... for picking!! They taste really gooD also!! :-)
On one of our little walks, just beyond the village.. we saw 4horses helping themselves to some freSH apples off the tree!
Levi pointed to them, drooling with concentration on this discovery...!
We've been exploring our little village(Mönchberg) more & more ..& seeing more more..
NeW disCoveries to all 3of uS!
It's been sooOo HOT!
.......

EeWeY.. blaH!!
I never knew it got so WARM in this area?
Just a 3HR drive from the Alps, still, this time of the year brings days of 35°!Clear, blue-sky hot days... thunderinG stoRms in the evenings! And raining raining through the piercing, bright setting sun.
The setting sun in the summer at 9:30, was a COMPLETE adjustment to the 'Roomes'!
Levi & I(Liesel), have had a leeenngthy summer... but the winter(I imagine) will MORE than make up for this...? We wait & tell :-&
People are very buzy buzzing around, getting their 'stuff' all done & prepared! ???
Because these warm evenings last only for about two months, family's are outside for as long as possible...having braai's(moO.."barbeque!").... etc.etc.
Most time is spent outdoors!
SOAK-UP an overloAd of warmth... savour the sunshine before cold winter arrives & greeTs!
Levi has moved from a summer at the ocean, set with sand dunes, to summer at the "freibads"(swimming baths) set in the hillS!
