so many different varieties....
...all in ONE garden!

Old linen and hemp - Finds....
this is the most beautiful and very rare roll of home spun and woven farmer's linen,
nearly 10 meter long and about 150-180 years old.
I was so lucky to have found it and more than happy!

1800's home loomed farmer's linen
1880's kitchen towels with lovely monograms

A 'stippvisite' to the Black Forest:
Unfortunately on the day I went there
I noticed that the battery of my camera was completely flat!
So, what follows are not my own pictures.

Back to my brother's place:
*
*
*
*
*
Old fashion country roses...
...spread out allover the place...
*
*
*
*
*
corn...
...the natural food....
....for happy hens...
...and a proud rooster!
***
part of the vegetable garden....
***
while some of the earliest flowering peonies....
*
...fading away nicely....
*
...there are new buds on other shrubs.
***
And just before I left...
...the first red currents.

It was a very good time!
