Sommerzeit - Ferienzeit

 

It is wonderful to see the blooming sunflowers, and that magnificent yellow across the fields—which are now gradually being harvested... my thanks go to all the farmers! I love grinding grain in my little mill and using it to create delicious things... like my sourdough rye bread or delicious cakes

with these wonderful blueberries from the forests around the Giant Mountains.

We took a tour of the Giant Mountains, and the mountain ridge lies along the border between Poland and the Czech Republic; it is one of my favorite mountain ranges, with its subarctic climate, striking glacial cirques, bogs, and vast high plateaus.

In my youth, I undertook a 40-kilometer day hike along the entire ridge to this mountain hut; I was therefore particularly pleased to visit it now... beautiful memories :-))

Now that we are grandparents, we took the lift—up and down—at a leisurely pace. 

 Even so, our hikes covered many kilometers.

 I send warm greetings and wish you days filled with joy.

Many flights of stairs were climbed.

Many wonderful projects still await us.

Warm greetings to everyone! 

To those on my side of the globe, I wish a glorious summer, and to everyone in the Southern Hemisphere—where the sun's rays now strike at a low angle—happy, cozy, and snug days. 

All the best, Viola.
