Treating myself and others

It’s still dark outside but this early morning treat gets me going. For years I couldn’t drink coffee without the most severe heartburn, now that I can drink it again without problems, I consider it special.

Henry gets special treats occasionally and he likes it just as much as the next cat. He wears his feelings on the cheek, so to speak.

And is it too early to talk of Easter? [Yes, it is! even if the stores think otherwise.]

These are chocolate treats and not really special in Germany. Around Easter time they are rather commonplace. What makes them unusual are their looks: they represent cockchafer beetles, heralds of spring, and not, as horrified English visitors have remarked, cockroaches.

Finally, only yesterday Nancy had asked for tasty treats for her A Photo a Week Challenge (great minds think alike! – check out her site and the contributions) and I posted this photo:

Friendly Friday: Special Treats.

It doesn’t have to be a Christmas tree

Bleibt gesund

It’s an old custom that has been revived during the last years: decorating trees in the garden with Easter eggs.

This works for a larger tree as well as for shrubs and planters.

This tree is adorned throughout the year. Whether by design or because it’s too much of a hassle to take the decoration down after Easter, I don’t know.

And now for a completely differently tree: this dummy tree is in a park and toddlers hang their dummies there when they (or their parents) think they have outgrown them.
