A Picturesque Thursday.

The joys of summer.

Purple weeds growing in the ditch...aren't they stunning? Eye-catching indeed and a nice cheerful sight whilst walking.
You might wonder what this has to do with summer, but it was the minced result of a big bowl of paprika and chilli. Mum and I were making the delicious ' hotties ' chilli paste. Divine during winter especially when put in soups, stews, salads, scrambled eggs and the odd slice of bread. We used an old-fashioned mincer which is jolly good to condition the old arms. It might not look it, but it came to just under 4 kg.
Another summer activity is organizing the wood for winter. It might not seem as if one would ever need to heat again during a hot summer but before we know it the cold is here. It took us about two hours to rack & stack this pile of wood in the shed.
Wherever one goes an apple tree is near. The red abundance bending the branches...
The local Gartenverein finds ways to make our village signs look nice. Thank you for making our village colourful.
The oft yearned for white picket fence promises a beautiful garden inside it.
