This little wood mouse was too early out of its nest, I think, but probably also too late in the year to be born. It was sitting on the side of a path, squeaking loudly but not running away. There was no adult close by, at least not one we could see. We pushed him gently with a stick into the leaves on the side and told it to be quiet.

Wet grass. It’s easy to forget how important water is.
Like when driving home in pouring rain and just looking forward to getting out of the wet clothes and snuggling down in a warm, dry place.
But sometimes we crave water. This was on the hottest day of that year, after having spent four or five hours in a school PE hall, on the way back to their accommodation. these guys saw a man watering his garden and begged for a cool down. They enjoyed getting wet so much!

Bridges can offer wonderful perspectives.
This one crosses the river Neckar from Seckenheim to Ilvesheim.
And like this bridge for pedestrians and cyclists in Frankfurt over the river Main called Holbeinsteg.
And some look best with their surroundings like this one over the river Neckar in Heidelberg (which has a monkey the left bank – which coincidentally features in Geriatrix’ post today).
And some look beautiful close up, decrepit as they are, like this over the little stream in Schriesheim.
And some are mere boards crossing a stream for only a few hours. Check out Geriatrix’ Fotogallery for the story behind this little bridge.

This member of the allium family, which gives us onions and leeks, is called Star of Persia.

For the life of me I will never understand that we can buy cantaloupe melons, Galia melons, Charentais melons and so on in the local supermarkets but Cavaillon melons are nowhere to be had. Cavaillon is twinned with our town, it shouldn’t be a problem. Also, a mere 100km away from us, just over the border in France, they are sold when in season, it shouldn’t be a problem. And they are simply the best melons ever!
In late spring there are untold roadside stands selling strawberry and asparagus in our area. The places may not be the most inviting – chosen for convenient access and parking rather than beautiful surroundings – but the goods usually are.
I prefer this advert placement for a day of fruit and vegetables (from another year, I think this year’s will be cancelled).

At first when I saw the prompt I kept thinking of noisy:
Then I switched to nosey:
But I knew you really meant nosy:
