Surviving in nature :)

Heyhooooo! :)

If you wonder how we survive now during late summer...have a look:


Jessica has apples and pears she found...


I've had some walnuts...fresh they are best!!


Justin found some chestnuts - a little small still...


Exercises are important, too. Well, we went by bike but it can't hurt to do some extra ;).

On the way we've had some black berries ...and...

rose hips...they are still hard, though...but the berries were delicious :)

That's were we were heading to: The Ronneburg. They were living like in the middle ages...very interesting and I think the castle looked like in the fairy tale Rapunzel...or Sleeping Beauty.

Happy, full and satisfied we arrived back home! :)

This is what you can eat now! :)

It's been snowing for weeks now - no chance for my loved nettles...but I did dry some ;). Besides snow (which is very clean around here - I measured it :)...) you can find the following fresh treasures:


Blackberry leaves, moss aaaaand....


rose hips...topped with a snow cap :). It's like ice with cream :). You can squeeze the gel inside out - it's like jam...so yummy. Or you can find blackthorn berries - they are good after the first frost as well.

Well and this was my son's birthday and his cakes :).

As I miss the cactus pears from Texas...I got some here :). Look at all those different colors :)...but all deliiicious.

What do you like to eat now?
