*snowless

In between some snowless days. The colors – so soothing – and the warmer wind brought overtones of springtime with it. Even some spring birds were hearable and it made me aware again what a wonderful creation the four seasons are.

*a frozen world

As thou hast created me out of mingled air and glitter,

I thank thee for it.

{Friedrich Rückert}

Wie aus Duft und Glanz gemischt Du mich schufst,

Dir dank' ich's heut.

*winter joy

I'm really happy with this years winter! That it is not only wet and dark, that we have some snow instead and days where all is covered with frost. It's like experiencing the whole landscape anew.

I had my sister here for some days, I'm very grateful that I did not have to grow up as an only child!

*hello 2017

Hello 2017!

Wondering what this new year will bring!

I'm happy with the low temperatures - right now it is gently snowing.

Did you make any New Years resolutions? I am a fan of new beginnings, so I always like the idea of seeing the new year as a fresh start. I used this opportunity to start a new journal to write down ideas, plans and thoughts and to keep track about certain things. Anyway, I hope you are all fine and I also wanted to thank everybody who sent me a Christmas card this year! I appreciate it a lot!
