I am very happy!

Little Wolf

After some hours of hard work, I finally delivered our cute little baby boy. Seconds after he was out all the hormones kicked in and all the exhausion from 3 days of contractions was gone. We happily welcome

Belly Pictures

Today we had some sun and finally made some pictures of my belly (it seems so huge to me on the pics, but in real it's not that big. but big enough to slow me down)

Sunday morning in the forest

As the weather has been splendit and I promised my daughter to have a trip to the forest, we packed our things on sunday and went to the nearby small forest. It is just a small one, but we had a great time.

We collected wild edibles. My daughter loves sorrel (Sauerklee, Oxalis) best. I think with those beautyful flowers it looks like a faerie plant.

We also met a frog

And there was Gundermann (Glechoma hederacea)

And another little frog which did not turn into a prince by kissing *shudder*

Beautyful Stitchwort (Große Sternmiere, Stellaria holostea) 

Anemones (Buschwindröschen, Anemone nemosrosa), beautyful but not eatable! They somehow remind me of my childhood. I don't know why.

Pilewort (Scharbockskraut, Ranunculus ficaria) poisonous, too.

We had a lovely picknick...

..and a happy child :-)

Nests and Frog Spawn

Yesterday I handed in my Diploma at the university! It felt like such a relief. Now I am almost done with all the projects. Just one more job (a flyer and bussiness card) which is almost done and some mailart doodles. 34 more days and the baby will show up. I can't imagine how life will be after that. Surprise surprise :-) But I am looking forward to it. A lot.

A few days ago we found two empty bird nests in a nearby bush. We took them home for further examination and exploration. Want to find out which birds they belonged to and everything. In one nest there even was a 2 cent coin. Must have been rich birds in that one :-)

Today my daughter brought frog spawn home from school. They have a little pond next to the school where lots of frogs are pairing now. So the children are all excited about the wobbly spawn. Now we want to see how the frog spawn develops. It takes 8-10 days until we'll have the first pollywogs. Oh dear, this child really should be lucky that I am not one of those noble city women. I am grown up in a village and my parents were open to all kind of experiments and nature exploration as well. So go on child, learn what you want to know!

Nest

10 more weeks. I definitely entered the nesting mode...

25+1 weeks

Tragedy

Surely you remember this trousers I once sewed.

Well, since last week it looks like that :-(

Shit happens...

Seasonal Table

It's getting autumnal outside. And so it does inside. I really like our new seasonal table stand.
