White Tiger’s Lair

Life in Germany seems to run at a different pace, or maybe it is that the people I spend time with in Germany move through life at their own tempo.  Yesterday was a beautiful sunny and comparatively warm Sunday morning.  In the US this would have meant, well nothing incredibly special, the day would have been spend shopping and in front of the TV.

A few weeks ago I got some tulips to watch them bloom, and bloom and grow they did, the first few days they grew almost 4 inches a day, after 3 days we couldn’t see over them on the table.  Now their prime has past and their bloom are falling off.  So we took them to a nice sunny sport on the canal next to the house and planted them on the bank.  It took no more than 5 minutes but it was lovely to see them planted there, happy little plants.  There was a man walking by with his dog, when he realized we were planting flowers not picking them he offered to water them on his morning walks so that they get a good start.

We then went on to a leisure 3 hour brunch with a group of friends and then a lazy afternoon reading in the sun shine, normally we would have gone for a long walk, but my ankle is still in a brace and I am trying not to hobble around too much before the trip.  I love my life here!
