This old half-timbered house didn’t want to make the choice between flowers or diamonds.

Going for a Walk
It’s still kind of cold but there are blue skies with little puffy clouds and the air is full of expectancy.

Here comes the sun
One Word Sunday: Light
It gets dark
when you drive in – at least when the old German “Gstanzl” or “Schnadahüpfel” (a fun song with many verses, often in dialect) is to be believed:
Zwische Woinem und Bergene do schteiht e Tunnell, wø mer noifährt, werd's dunkel, wø mer nausfährt, werd's hell! Holladihi-a holladiho! Holladihopsasa holladiho! The Ragtag Daily Prompt: Tunnel.
It’s not the Fox and Hound
In Germany “The Lamb” (often with the addition “golden” or “white”) is a traditional name for inns.
The two examples are “Hotel Das Lamm” in Handschuhsheim and “Gasthaus zum weißen Lamm” in Heiligkreuzsteinach.
The Ragtag Daily Prompt: Lamb.
Empty Nest Syndrome
It can no longer be hidden at this time of year.
Whether it is kind of hidden in the twigs and branches of the barren trees
or openly displayed on top of poles and trunks.
And this particular nest has been empty for years and years and years. When I was little it was used by storks, then there were fewer and the nest stayed empty. Now their numbers are increasing and we have a sizable number returning every spring but they never took again to the nest up on the old tower, nowadays they live in the trees in the plain, closer to their food sources.
One Word Sunday: Empty.
