    Grünzeug und Sterne

    Neulich habe ich zufällig entdeckt, dass an meinem Croton (Wunderbaum) was wächst- die Pflanze blüht!

    Und in dieser Ecke fehlte definitiv noch was- nach etwas Suchen habe ich auch gefunden, was noch dorthin sollte:

    English Version:
    A while ago, I noticed that my Croton was growing something unusual- it has begun to bloom! You can see the results above.
    And for the corner opposite the door, there defintely was something missing, so I dug around in my chest of drawers until I found it. *g*

    Seasonal decorations

    Yay, finally it is time for seasonal decoration again- I always look forward the whole year to it…
    My little round tree outdoors is this year bearing a chain of lights:

    That is my Advent „wreath“ this year:

    The wrapped box on the piccies above contained a gift that Mum gave me for today, the first Advent Sunday:

    I love this star-shape, I know them as a big version- they look awesome if you have a true hallway in your house to hang them there. I never knew that they make them that tiny, too. ♥!

    Since I finially finished repainting the Ikea reindeer, I could just hang it into my orchid-window which is now seasonal, too. Once a darker picture to make the star more clearly visible:

    And one where you can actually see something. *g*

  • pretty nature. decorations - screen - star

    >A little bit of everything

    >Today the weather is terriffic and I took a little stroll actoss town, as I needed absolutely necessary things (*g*) anyway. (I got home with pills against too much gastric acid, sanding paper, leather pieces for fiddlings and two little pots of special paint and a folding paper-star for upcoming seasonal decorations) We have crisp air but it is sunny, the trees still have some marvellous colour and so that walk was really nice. I started out painfree (foot) and got along without pain 90% of the way. Only on cobblestones, the foot was not ok. This is really good. I have great hopes that with the help of the shoe-inlays that I ordered, I will soon be able again to walk a little further. And then I will go see the outer range of the Boberger Dünen where one walks on a solid asphalt track and see how that goes. I doubt I will be able to walk far, as I need to take the way to the station into my calculation, but I really miss that place.

    After that little outing, I was really busy and gave my balcony a last cleaning before the winter, as it turned out, that was very necessary, LOL!!
    I was even rewarded optically for doing so, as I found this beautiful arrangement:

    (How typical that my digital camera’s batteries deserted me here and I had to use my cellphone’s inferior camera…)

    This is the paper-star with and without lights:

    Thanks to Benni, who gave to me his old screen, my computer place now looks like this:

    And I am no longer in a terrible hurry to replace my old screen which I could now retire before it would have exploded, LOL!!
