Major craving. Do I need to spell it out?
For want of actual people, particularly grandchildren:

Zu alt, um nur zu spielen. Zu jung, um ohne Wunsch zu sein.
Yes, but what does it mean?!
I have absolutely no idea about this sculpture. I saw it in a private garden, viewed from the street. No explanation. No one around whom I could ask. No possibility to have a closer look.

Long Louis
The central place in Darmstadt is the Luisenplatz with this 33 metre tall column supporting a bronze statue of Ludwig I, first Grand Duke of Hesse, erected in the middle of the 19th century. The people of Darmstadt call it Langer Lui, meaning Long Ludwig, on account of its size (or length).
Today it is surrounded by buildings erected after the second world war as the centre of Darmstadt was almost completely destroyed in one night in 1944. In the firestorm created by allied bombers approximately 11 ,000 to 12,500 of the inhabitants burned to death, and 66,000 to 70,000 were left homeless. The palace behind the column was erased and in its place is now a shopping mall.

Hallo, Nachbar!
Hi there, neighbour!
“Love your neighbor as yourself; but don’t take down the fence.”
Carl Sandburg
Even in garden gnome society this seems to be a followed adage.
And certainly, some neighbours may be cute but you do not want them on your side of the fence.
I don’t know that the fence will keep those neighbours on their side, though.
And there are some neighbours who will be welcomed even if they have to climb that fence to come over.

Acquiring taste
Babies are trying things – tasting chips and viennas and melons.
And how do babies taste like?
No question. They are yummy!

In the summertime when the weather is high
Dreams adapt, it seems. And become simpler.
Around the corner. A pool. A playground.
The right company.

The very busy caterpillar
Good things (?) come in threes: This was supposed to be my third post within a week to feature ermine moths. Except that I mixed up my calendar and the third one will only appear next Sunday. .
