*in the core of winter


It's minus 13 degrees at the moment. Almost every morning I go up the attic after I made fire in the stoves and have a moment on the balcony to experience the sunrise and observe the first birds flying around. People are heading by busy in their cars, but nature seems unimpressed by the stress of humans. February feels here more like the core of winter and not like we are coming to an end of it. The continuous low night temperatures keep the spring flowers here for the longest time waiting in the ground. I work a lot on my needlework projects and am reading several books at once. And slightly, but only slightly I start to daydream about the new gardening year.

Liebe Claudia, schön sind Deine Winterbilder. Hier ist der Schnee wieder getaut aber heute hatte es wieder -7 Grad. Ich habe die ersten Aussaaten gemacht und hoffe, dass ich die nächsten Wochen den Rest aussäen kann. Alles Zimmerpflanzen. Draußen habe ich letztes Jahr Frostkeimer gesät und bin gespannt was davon diesen Frühling keimt. Liebe Grüße!
