[ After several days of hard rain, the sun was willing to give a cameo appearance today. The weather forecast for tomorrow predicts thunderstroms and hurricanes, so today seemed to be our only chance taking the triple terror (Luis, Lily and Jersey) out for spending some weekend quality family time in the woods.
We made a quick visit to the fleamarket before we headed to the Grafenberger Wald.
The five of us had a bunch of fun exploring the dampish woods... so many different scents and textures to explore.
Both kids were mostly attracked by mini mushies and moss
while Jersey prefered processing clammy knobs to tooth picks.
Once again I have to praise my slowcooker. It was nice to be greeted by the delicious smell of Beouf Stroganoff after we returned home in the evening. We arrived 15 minutes before our guests C+R - and all I had to do was set the table and open the wine before starting a lovely evening with friends.
Life is good. ]

[ My granny Anni and I watched sundowns together as often as possible. She told me the beautiful color of the sky was caused the angels in heaven baking christmas cookies for the season.
I guess one of those angels must have knocked over a huge sack of powdered sugar last night. The world outside my window looks like covered in powdered sugar... must be powdered sugar, because this can't be retro weather... or is it snow again? No. Having snow again would implicate our furry diva Jersey was mistaken when she began to get rid of her winter coat last week.
Thus far, she never erred... Snow or powdered sugar - what ever it is - the world looks so much friendlier now. Good for me since I tend to suffer from seasonal affective disorder when it's all greyish and dark. I feel good and can hardly resist munching a sugar-covered branch. ![]()
Anyway, I'm pretty sure the rest of the family won't be satisfied munching branches for dinner.
How about Italian cuisine?
Something easy... spaghetti with meatball sauce... or carbonara à la mama? ]
