missing discipline … today i somehow cannot get my head down on my work. daydreaming. my thoughts are focussing completely on my yearning for sun, warmth, travelling. so when my daughter suggested to “paint a sun for yourself” i instantly picked my colors & paper … look what we came up with:

sun is shining!

... in my office!

something great to share in my museum. this is how i want to live. following our spontaneous ideas without practical constraints forcing me to do something else. our next project will be painting a sun on our kitchen’s ceiling

started yesterday with our weekly western riding lesson. my third lesson. with sheza. walk and trot. an exercise in insistence & willpower, making sheza go where i want her to go. & of course physical exercise: sitting trot … a western saddle is more comfortable than an english one but … well, i still cannot sit
anyway i can’t wait for next saturday!

in the afternoon i was skating in the local nature reserve. m. came along with her run bike. sun was shining & we had so much fun going up & down the hills

on sunday we went to the farmers market at gut wulksfelde … just to find out that i mixed the days up: the market has been yesterday. disappointing. but we took the chance & enjoyed the warm & sunny day, making a walk around the farm, collecting comfrey, playing at the playground. then spent the rest of our sun-day playing, reading & having a picnic in our yard.

how wonderful life can be

today we had a good time at gut wulksfelde, enjoying the sun & eating strawberries & greens. we brought home strawberries, orache, comfrey, stinging nettles & mugwort.

a sunny afternoon in our garden, with dear friends & some tasty raw treats.

i forgot to take pictures from the whole buffet, but here is a photo of the cake i prepared:

a heart-cake, decorated with wonderful dandelion blossoms

moreover, we had green burgers, sushi, hummus, tomato sauce, japanese radish salad, two more cakes & wild greens in abundance!

i really enjoyed the time, the company, life! what a wonderful world!

after too many cold & grey days & weeks – i really don’t like winter … february seems to be the hardest month … yearning for sun & warmth – today the sun is shining, sky is blue and it feels quite warm outside! i took the chance to finally disseminate the chickweed seeds. nothing to see right now, of course – how long will it take?
