There wasn't a whole lot of snow, however, since temperatures stayed around 32 degrees those couple inches didn't leave right away. There is more snow supposed to come over the weekend.

Ich lese noch immer fleissig mit, habe aber seit Sommer, wenn nicht schon sogar frueher, keine Kommentare mehr hinterlassen. Ich habe bemerkt, dass viele Blogger aus aehnlichen Gruenden die Kommentarfunktion ausgeschaltet haben. Ich werde sie zwar weiterhin eingeschalten lassen, manchmal hat man eben doch das Beduerfnis seinen Senf dazuzugeben. Ich verstehe es aber wenn hier keine Kommentare mehr hinterlassen werden:)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 102, 102);"&gt;I don't know yet how I will handle the blogging in future. I am still reading, but haven't left a comment in a LONG time. I noticed that some bloggers decided to shut off the comment feature out of similar reasons. I will keep it on since sometimes people really want to say something. However, I understand if you don't leave a comment anymore since I don't take the time to leave some on your blog:)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2634515374658865432-1696796116078632069?l=barbarasgarten.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://barbarasgarten.blogspot.com/feeds/1696796116078632069/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2634515374658865432&amp;postID=1696796116078632069' title='7 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2634515374658865432/posts/default/1696796116078632069'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2634515374658865432/posts/default/1696796116078632069'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://barbarasgarten.blogspot.com/2010/11/herbst-fall.html' title='Herbst - Fall'/><author><name>Bek</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08353543632009072686</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-XpwezJvxp1A/TuzngqBHTkI/AAAAAAAAFOo/R_phrFMplmo/s220/20071230_444.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5FEfQN2BeHc/TPJpc8tWvnI/AAAAAAAAEOQ/YMUa4C1eL-A/s72-c/20100906_16.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>7</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634515374658865432.post-6020895948774741316</id><published>2010-08-14T12:21:00.013-04:00</published><updated>2010-08-14T13:11:20.097-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Gartenbesuch - visiting other gardens'/><title type='text'>Der Garten meiner Eltern - My parent's garden</title><content type='html'>Diesen Sommer bin ich wieder Mal "nach Hause" gefahren und jetzt moechte ich mal hier den Garten meiner Eltern herzeigen.

Ich habe oft gedacht, mich mal wieder herzusetzen und neues zu berichten, aber dann immer wieder verschoben und mittlerweile ist der Fruehling vorbei - zumindest Gartenmaessig. Hier also eine Zusammenfassung. Fangen wir mit dem Neueren an:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;Here I am again. I often planned to go sit down and update the blog but this never happened. In the meantime spring is over, at least when it comes to the plants. So here is a summary, starting with the newer stuff.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Meine Pfingstrosen bluehen zum ersten Mal aeusserst schoen. Leider ist es gerade sehr regnerisch und sie lassen jetzt alles haengen. Aber ich hab noch ein Foto in voller Bluete erwischt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;They are blooming for the first time sooo beautiful. Unfortunately we are having a few rainy days at the moment so they are all letting their blooms hang. At least I got a nice picture in full bloom.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5FEfQN2BeHc/S_kmmPRlHFI/AAAAAAAAEKQ/2dYHmIJidvA/s1600/20100522_2.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5474449260422700114" style="WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5FEfQN2BeHc/S_kmmPRlHFI/AAAAAAAAEKQ/2dYHmIJidvA/s320/20100522_2.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Auch das blaue ist neu - letzten Herbst gepflanzt. Weiss aber jetzt den Namen nicht mehr. Muesste mal schaun, ob ich noch das Karterl habe.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;This is also new. I planted it last fall, but don't remember its name.

Im letzten Jahr war ich im Sommer und Herbst dort - im Winter mit dem Schnee und Schlitten war es mir zu muehselig.. In jeder Jahreszeit ist es einfach wunderschoen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#006600;"&gt;I went to one of my favorite places today - Chatham. I've been there last year in summer and fall - too strenious this snowy winter with the sled.. it's beautiful in every season.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5FEfQN2BeHc/S75mHI3DIZI/AAAAAAAAEJQ/JbHirBrqZis/s1600/2010-04-081.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5457912071243112850" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5FEfQN2BeHc/S75mHI3DIZI/AAAAAAAAEJQ/JbHirBrqZis/s320/2010-04-081.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Momentan steht die Baumbluete im Vordergrund - hier die verschiedensten Sorten von Flieder, weissen und rosa Hartriegel, Wisteria, und noch viel mehr. Der Duft beim Flieder war einzigartig. Ich haette dort den ganzen Tag bleiben koennen:)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#006600;"&gt;At the moment all the blooming trees are the focal point - many different kinds of lilacs, dogwoods, wisteria and more.. The aroma around the lilac was something. I wished I could have stayed there all day:)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5FEfQN2BeHc/S75mGdrKYPI/AAAAAAAAEJI/A8fwMMkF01c/s1600/2010-04-08.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5457912059650531570" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5FEfQN2BeHc/S75mGdrKYPI/AAAAAAAAEJI/A8fwMMkF01c/s320/2010-04-08.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Auf dem Weg dorthin begegente ich einen Haufen von Geiern, die gerade ein Festmahl hatten.. war sehr interessant, denen zuzusehen. Sie teilen mit ihren Gefaehrten gar nicht gern.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#006600;"&gt;On the way there I saw a bunch of vultures. They were having a feast on something. Very interesting to watch them. They don't like to share with their friends.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5FEfQN2BeHc/S75mHs9yn8I/AAAAAAAAEJY/Dc_Apcp7-cs/s1600/20100406_9.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5457912080935067586" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5FEfQN2BeHc/S75mHs9yn8I/AAAAAAAAEJY/Dc_Apcp7-cs/s320/20100406_9.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Der andere Ausflug ging nach Washington D.C. Und hier zeige ich mal sehr untypische Grossstadtphotos. Die ersten Bilder sind bei einer alten Muehle von 1820 entstanden. Sie funktioniert nicht und ist auch fuer Besucher geschlossen. Man kann aber auf dem Gelaende herummarschieren. Wiederum machen die Baeume ein wunderschoenes Bild.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;The other trip went to Washington, D.C. I am going to show some very untypical city pictures. The first photos are from the Pierce Mill - around 1820. You can walk around there but it's not open for tourists anymore. The scenery around it was just beautiful again.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5FEfQN2BeHc/S75m-PyxblI/AAAAAAAAEKI/YQ05heJCC88/s1600/20100406_51.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5457913017997028946" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5FEfQN2BeHc/S75m-PyxblI/AAAAAAAAEKI/YQ05heJCC88/s320/20100406_51.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Interessant hier, dass durch den Muehldamm die Fische nicht mehr den Fluss hochschwimmen konnten. Daher wurde fuer sie einn "Kanal" gebaut - der "Heringhighway".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#006600;"&gt;The interesting part here is that because of the dam the fish couldn't swim up the river anymore. Therefore they built a canal for them - the herringhighway.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5FEfQN2BeHc/S75m8EUoazI/AAAAAAAAEJo/yNV-s0dUL5o/s1600/20100406_50.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5457912980558080818" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5FEfQN2BeHc/S75m8EUoazI/AAAAAAAAEJo/yNV-s0dUL5o/s320/20100406_50.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So schoen, dass alles wieder gruen wird. Ich geniesse das jetzt sehr.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;I love it when everything turns green again.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5FEfQN2BeHc/S75mIGMWPbI/AAAAAAAAEJg/DVgZ4Vl_8t4/s1600/20100406_52.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5457912087707008434" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5FEfQN2BeHc/S75mIGMWPbI/AAAAAAAAEJg/DVgZ4Vl_8t4/s320/20100406_52.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dann ging's weiter zum Sommerhaus von Praesident Lincoln. Er wohnte dort einige Sommer lang waehrend des Buergerkriegs. Man kann es besichtigen, wenn man einen Tour macht - nur sind es leider lehre Raeume. Es gibt auch eine Ausstellung in einem nahen modernen Gebaeude, wo mehr erklaert wird.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;Then we went to Lincoln's Cottage. He was living there for the summers during the Civil War. You can go insided with a guided tour, however, the rooms are mostly empty. They have a nice exhibition in a close-by building. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5FEfQN2BeHc/S75m9-UxX2I/AAAAAAAAEKA/Co5Wt8GHOpQ/s1600/20100406_43.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5457913013307793250" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 221px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5FEfQN2BeHc/S75m9-UxX2I/AAAAAAAAEKA/Co5Wt8GHOpQ/s320/20100406_43.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5FEfQN2BeHc/S75m9DfmWkI/AAAAAAAAEJ4/p8XdCW8cQvQ/s1600/20100406_38.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5457912997515516482" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5FEfQN2BeHc/S75m9DfmWkI/AAAAAAAAEJ4/p8XdCW8cQvQ/s320/20100406_38.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Die Aussenanlage war aber eh viel schoener, finde ich.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;I found the outside more interesting.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5FEfQN2BeHc/S75m8o2r7wI/AAAAAAAAEJw/edUhdHPtwDs/s1600/20100406_37.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5457912990364593922" style="WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5FEfQN2BeHc/S75m8o2r7wI/AAAAAAAAEJw/edUhdHPtwDs/s320/20100406_37.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2634515374658865432-5894696097772572628?l=barbarasgarten.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://barbarasgarten.blogspot.com/feeds/5894696097772572628/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2634515374658865432&amp;postID=5894696097772572628' title='16 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2634515374658865432/posts/default/5894696097772572628'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2634515374658865432/posts/default/5894696097772572628'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://barbarasgarten.blogspot.com/2010/04/2-ausfluege-2-trips.html' title='2 Ausfluege - 2 Trips'/><author><name>Bek</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08353543632009072686</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-XpwezJvxp1A/TuzngqBHTkI/AAAAAAAAFOo/R_phrFMplmo/s220/20071230_444.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5FEfQN2BeHc/S75mFdbxthI/AAAAAAAAEJA/R_FVyZFp_xQ/s72-c/2010-04-082.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>16</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634515374658865432.post-4512888026854194910</id><published>2010-04-07T07:22:00.005-04:00</published><updated>2010-04-07T07:39:58.495-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Narzissen - Daffodils'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Flieder - lilac'/><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>Momentan komme ich gar nicht zum Fotografieren nach, so schnell veraendert sich alles. Die Foto habe ich am vergangenen Wochenende aufgenommen. Mittlerweile ist schon einiges davon verblueht und anderes, wie der Flieder steht jetzt in voller Bluete. Man kann der Natur in diesen Tagen geradezu beim Wachsen zusehen. Kein Wunder auch, wir hatten die letzten paar Tage hochsommerliche Temperaturen mit fast 35 Grad.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993399;"&gt;At the moment I can't take enough pictures that's how fast everything is changing. I took those pictures this past weekend. In the meantime some of it is done blooming, others are in full bloom now, like the lilac. You can actually watch everything grow at the moment. No wonder, we had over 90 degrees the last couple days.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5FEfQN2BeHc/S7xtgFdLqnI/AAAAAAAAEI4/YFEBwL0vjCY/s1600/20100406_3.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5457357246454016626" style="WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5FEfQN2BeHc/S7xtgFdLqnI/AAAAAAAAEI4/YFEBwL0vjCY/s320/20100406_3.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Einige Sorten der Narzissen sind inzwischen komplett verblueht, andere werden wohl auch bald soweit sein.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993399;"&gt;Some daffodils are done blooming, others won't take much longer either.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5FEfQN2BeHc/S7xs8g9Rj-I/AAAAAAAAEIY/Hfxr7i042Go/s1600/20100406_4.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5457356635361087458" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5FEfQN2BeHc/S7xs8g9Rj-I/AAAAAAAAEIY/Hfxr7i042Go/s320/20100406_4.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5FEfQN2BeHc/S7xs8Bq5GTI/AAAAAAAAEIQ/3zK6sNjzpco/s1600/20100406_3.JPG"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5FEfQN2BeHc/S7xs9orDRUI/AAAAAAAAEIo/rEvBJb2qT-s/s1600/20100406_11.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5457356654612006210" style="WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5FEfQN2BeHc/S7xs9orDRUI/AAAAAAAAEIo/rEvBJb2qT-s/s320/20100406_11.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Ein einzelner Traubenhyazinth hat sich hierher verirrt.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993399;"&gt;One little muscari appeared.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5FEfQN2BeHc/S7xs90GEIpI/AAAAAAAAEIw/plVSUDCpOwc/s1600/20100406_20.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5457356657678099090" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5FEfQN2BeHc/S7xs90GEIpI/AAAAAAAAEIw/plVSUDCpOwc/s320/20100406_20.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Das traenernde Herz hat gerade zum Bluehen angefangen.

Ich kann mich an den bluehenden Baeumen gar nicht genug satt sehen. Heute war es leider wieder sehr kalt mit 0 Grad in der Frueh. Trotzdem haben wir eine Runde gezogen und ich habe von den diversen Vorgaerten ein paar Eindruecke mitgebracht.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;Like every year there is a sea of blooms around this time of the year. I can't get enough of the blooming trees. Unfortunately it was quite chilly this morning with 32 degrees. Nevertheless we went for a walk later on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5FEfQN2BeHc/S66rNxpSrrI/AAAAAAAAEHU/vujOPvYgp18/s1600/2010-03-27.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5453484451945426610" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5FEfQN2BeHc/S66rNxpSrrI/AAAAAAAAEHU/vujOPvYgp18/s320/2010-03-27.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Auch tierisch gab es wieder Interessantes. Ich glaube, diesen Freund habe ich schon mal im Winter getroffen - auf der gleichen Stelle. Nur war damals das Wasser nebenan zugefroren. Geduldig wartet er wieder bis mir ein scharfes Foto gelingt.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;We also saw some interesting animals again. I think this is the same heron I saw in winter - at the same spot, just with icy waters nearby. He is waiting paitently again for me to get a good picture.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5FEfQN2BeHc/S66rOi4JWdI/AAAAAAAAEHk/OZV7c7_MqRA/s1600/20100327_29.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5453484465161066962" style="WIDTH: 255px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5FEfQN2BeHc/S66rOi4JWdI/AAAAAAAAEHk/OZV7c7_MqRA/s320/20100327_29.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Heute tummelten sich dutzende von Schildkroeten im Kanal. Die besseren Foto habe ich schon vor einigen Wochen gemacht, aber noch nicht gezeigt. Erst zu Hause am Computer habe ich gesehen, dass zwischen den Grossen noch eine Babyschildkroete sitzt. Solche Ueberraschungen erfreuen mich immer wieder.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;We saw dozens of turtles in the canal. The better pictures were taken already a few weeks ago, I just never showed them before. I didn't realize until I looked at them at home on the computer that there was a tiny baby turtle sitting between the two larger ones.

In den letzten Tagen ging alles ganz schnell und ploetzlich treiben alle Baeume und Straeucher aus. Kein Wunder, heute hatten wir wunderbare 25 Grad. Einfach herrlich.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;After this long snow-filled winter spring finally made it! Everything happened so fast these last few days. Trees and shrubs are starting to get new leafes. No wonder, we had a gorgeous day with 80 degrees today.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Zum ersten Mal hat heuer meine Lentenrose geblueht. Die ersten paar Jahre hat sie Knospen bekommen, aber dann geschah nichts weiter. Freut mich sehr. Werde schaun, dass ich mir noch mehrere besorgen kann.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;For the first time in 3 years my helleborus was blooming. I am very happy about it. Now I am ready to get more of them.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5FEfQN2BeHc/S6VoZUrOTgI/AAAAAAAAEGs/XQi5eTFCjB0/s1600-h/20100312_3.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5450877708257873410" style="WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5FEfQN2BeHc/S6VoZUrOTgI/AAAAAAAAEGs/XQi5eTFCjB0/s320/20100312_3.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Narzissen,  Krokusse und Forsythie bluehen auchbereits. Leider sind die meisten meiner Krokusse anscheinend verschwunden. Das hier ist mein jaemmerlicher Restbestand. Also werde ich mir im Herbst neue dazukaufen. Auch Narzissen moechte ich noch einige mehr- den ganzen Strassenrand entlang. Momentan sind sie nur bei einer Ecke. Sieht etwas komisch aus.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;Daffodils, crocus, and forsythia are also already blooming. Unfortunately most of my crocus must have disappeared. This is the only one left. I need to get more this fall and also more daffodils. At the moment I only have them at a corner in the front. I want them all along the road so it doesn't look weird.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5FEfQN2BeHc/S6Voa4QZ9JI/AAAAAAAAEHE/QqQylhgQaoI/s1600-h/20100320_29.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5450877734988936338" style="WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5FEfQN2BeHc/S6Voa4QZ9JI/AAAAAAAAEHE/QqQylhgQaoI/s320/20100320_29.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5FEfQN2BeHc/S6VoacMS7wI/AAAAAAAAEG8/znf2qEd8IFg/s1600-h/20100320_27.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5450877727455506178" style="WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5FEfQN2BeHc/S6VoacMS7wI/AAAAAAAAEG8/znf2qEd8IFg/s320/20100320_27.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5FEfQN2BeHc/S6VobD48xyI/AAAAAAAAEHM/9vrRQeCyYqA/s1600-h/20100320_31.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5450877738111780642" style="WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5FEfQN2BeHc/S6VobD48xyI/AAAAAAAAEHM/9vrRQeCyYqA/s320/20100320_31.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt; Die Pieris freut mich auch immer wieder jedes Jahr.

Das ungeduldige Warten, dass der grosse Tag naeher rueckt. Dazu gehoert nun mal recht vieles.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;The best part of Christmas if the anticipation for me. Waiting impatiently that the big day comes closer. Lots of things come to mind....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Kaelte und Schnee. - Die meisten wuenschen sich weisse Weihnachten und dadurch passt das oft haeufig kalte Wetter in diesen Wochen ausgezeichnet. Auch wenn dieser Traum oft nur ein Wunschtraum bleibt. &lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;Cold and Snow - most people want a White Christmas and therefore the cold weather fits just fine in those weeks. Even though this dream often stays just a dream.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5FEfQN2BeHc/SxWm8y-roAI/AAAAAAAAED4/F7X-h9yJlkI/s1600/01-04-2009+09%3B08%3B40AM.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5410414090762559490" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 218px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5FEfQN2BeHc/SxWm8y-roAI/AAAAAAAAED4/F7X-h9yJlkI/s320/01-04-2009+09%3B08%3B40AM.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Duefte - sowohl herrliche Essensgerueche als auch das wunderbare Aroma von Kerzen fallen mir hinzu ein. &lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;Smells - both from tasty food and from the wonderful aroma of candles.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Weihnachtsgebaeck - ohne Lebkuchen oder Weihnachtsstollen ist es fuer viele wohl kein "richtiges" Weihnachten. &lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;Christmas cookies - without gingerbread and stollen it's not a "real" Christmas for many people.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5FEfQN2BeHc/SxEewdhyfVI/AAAAAAAAECQ/nSJmeWcBDQA/s1600/20071230_813.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5409138445357579602" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5FEfQN2BeHc/SxEewdhyfVI/AAAAAAAAECQ/nSJmeWcBDQA/s320/20071230_813.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Das Raetselraten, welche Geschenke man wohl bekommen wird. Wie werden sich andere ueber meine Geschenke freuen? Auch wenn dieser Aspekt nicht das Wichtigste sein sollte, spielt er ja doch immer eine grosse Rolle bei Gross und Klein. &lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;Guessing, which presents one will get. How will friends and family like my presents?

Ich tu mich bei Lieblingen immer so schwer, weil es mir schwer faellt, eine Entscheidung zu treffen. Ich fragte mich also, welche Pflanzen ich unbedingt in meinem Garten haben moechte.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993399;"&gt;Both &lt;a href="http://pusteblumes-alltagsgeschichten.blogspot.com/"&gt;Pusteblume &lt;/a&gt;and &lt;a href="http://meingartenimfliesstal.blogspot.com/"&gt;Sisah &lt;/a&gt;sent me a meme about favorite plants. I always have a hard time deciding. So I asked myself, which plants would I want for my garden?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5FEfQN2BeHc/SxElNAUzhNI/AAAAAAAAEDQ/EK3HbPSoTN8/s1600/20080312_40.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5409145532804465874" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5FEfQN2BeHc/SxElNAUzhNI/AAAAAAAAEDQ/EK3HbPSoTN8/s320/20080312_40.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Frühlingszwiebelblüher&lt;/strong&gt; - Auch bei mir stehen dabei die Krokusse eindeutig an der Spitze. Manche beginnen schon Ende Februar zu bluehen. Das ist dann schon ein Zeichen, dass der Winter langsam zu Ende geht. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993399;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993399;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Spring Bulb Flowers&lt;/strong&gt; - I also like crocus the best.

Not only because of its beautiful blooms, but also because they are huge evergreen trees in our area.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Immergrünes&lt;/strong&gt; - die Stechpalme. Mir gefaellt sie das ganze Jahr ueber. Im Fruehjahr hat sie kleine weisse Blueten, die hunderte von Insekten anzieht. Und im Winter schauen die Beeren so weihnachtlich aus.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Evergreen&lt;/strong&gt; - holly. I love it all year round. It has some white blooms in spring that attracts hundreds of insects.

Unzaehlige Foto, die man nicht unbedingt aufheben muss und nur Speicherplatz wegnehmen.. das muss allerdings noch warten, denn ich bin dabei, meine Adventpost fuer Elke's Kalender vorzubereiten:)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Ich wuensche alle einen schoenen ersten Advent.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993399;"&gt;I really enjoyed looking at all my old pictures for this post. I noticed that I really have to sort them out though. Tons of pictures there that need to get deleted. They just take space away. That has to wait though.

Den Frosch und die Eidechsen hat mein Mann an seinem Arbeitsplatz aufgenommen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(153, 51, 153);"&gt;This is a mish-mash collage with all kind of stuff. I noticed the bunny a couple days ago in our backyard. We had one a couple years ago (not domesticated) and just recently we were wondering what happened to him since we haven't seen him in a long time. This one has to be a different one though since it's so much smaller. The pics of the frog and the lizards were taken by my hubby at his work place.. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, jetzt werde ich mich mal auf Blogrunde begeben, bevor mein Sohnemann wieder aufwacht:) Heute abend kommen meine Eltern fuer ein paar Wochen. Ich werde sicherlich von unseren Ausfluegen berichten..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(153, 51, 153);"&gt;I will try to visit part of my blogroll before my son wakes up:) My parents will come today and stay for a few weeks. I hope to take a few short trips and post about them later..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2634515374658865432-6012261597560777218?l=barbarasgarten.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://barbarasgarten.blogspot.com/feeds/6012261597560777218/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2634515374658865432&amp;postID=6012261597560777218' title='15 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2634515374658865432/posts/default/6012261597560777218'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2634515374658865432/posts/default/6012261597560777218'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://barbarasgarten.blogspot.com/2009/07/kurzer-gartenrundgang-short-walk.html' title='Kurzer Gartenrundgang - Short Walk through the Garden'/><author><name>Bek</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08353543632009072686</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-XpwezJvxp1A/TuzngqBHTkI/AAAAAAAAFOo/R_phrFMplmo/s220/20071230_444.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5FEfQN2BeHc/SlCVuGdYjrI/AAAAAAAAD7A/gMeqp-209YM/s72-c/2009-07-05.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>15</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634515374658865432.post-1135662407672750314</id><published>2009-06-22T09:25:00.003-04:00</published><updated>2009-06-22T09:32:54.963-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Blogpause - Blogging Break</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5FEfQN2BeHc/Sj-GgTc9PyI/AAAAAAAAD6E/SwgLHJIXpr0/s1600-h/20090621_56a.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5FEfQN2BeHc/Sj-GgTc9PyI/AAAAAAAAD6E/SwgLHJIXpr0/s320/20090621_56a.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5350142771875102498" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Stephen Alexander - 51cm - 3910 g / 20 in - 8lb10oz&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Uns beiden geht es gut, nur werde ich in den naechsten paar Wochen (hoffentlich nicht Monate) nicht zum Bloggen kommen.

Einmal sogar mit Hagel. Hab gerade in den Eintraegen vom letzten Jahr nachgelesen - anscheinend haben wir immer Anfangs Juni diese Unwetter. Der Regen war jedenfalls fast angenehm, nachdem es auch um einiges abgekuehlt hat. Hagel braucht natuerlich keiner. Gewitter mag ich eigentlich auch keine. Die meisten Leute unterschaetzen aber die Gefahr, was man bei uns jetzt gesehen hat. Es hat im Nachbarsbezirk einen Todesfall gegeben, wobei ein 12jaehriger von einem Blitz getroffen worden ist.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 204, 0);"&gt;This week we had heavy rainfalls with some strong thunderstorm almost every day. Once even with hail. I just read my blog entries from last year around this time - it seems there is always lots of rain early June here. The rain was really needed and nice, especially since it also cooled down quite a bit. Nobody needs any hail, of course. I don't need any thunderstorm either. Most people underestimate the danger that comes with it, which we could see this week. In the neighboring county, a boy got hit by a lightening strike and died. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5FEfQN2BeHc/Siq_y3fDNNI/AAAAAAAAD30/rFZ2RagjSqw/s1600-h/20090606_12.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5FEfQN2BeHc/Siq_y3fDNNI/AAAAAAAAD30/rFZ2RagjSqw/s320/20090606_12.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5344294788437062866" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Die Fotos hier sind bei meinen Schiegereltern aufgenommen worden. Die Hagelkoerner waren so Golfballgross. Hab noch gar nicht nachgeschaut, ob meine Hosta durchloechert worden sind.

Wir sind gestern zum Lewis Ginter Botanischen Garten gefahren, der ca. 1 Stunde von uns weg ist. Anlass dafuer war ein Konzert, das meinen Mann interessiert hat.  Vor dem Konzert habe ich schnell eine kleine Runde gedreht und mir den Garten etwas angeschaut. Ich war das erste Mal dort und werde auf jeden Fall wieder kommen, um alles zu sehen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 51, 255);"&gt;An evening of a different kind. Last night we went to the &lt;a href="http://www.lewisginter.org/"&gt;Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden&lt;/a&gt;, which is about an hour drive away from us. My husband was interested in a concert from their &lt;a href="http://www.lewisginter.org/events/event_detail.php?event_id=170"&gt;Groovin' in the Garden&lt;/a&gt; series. There was enough time for me to walk through a small part of the garden&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 255);"&gt; before the concert. It was the first time for me visiting and I will definitely come back to see more.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;meta equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"&gt;&lt;meta name="ProgId" content="Word.Document"&gt;&lt;meta name="Generator" content="Microsoft Word 12"&gt;&lt;meta name="Originator" content="Microsoft Word 12"&gt;&lt;link rel="File-List" href="file:///C:%5CUsers%5CBarbara%5CAppData%5CLocal%5CTemp%5Cmsohtmlclip1%5C01%5Cclip_filelist.xml"&gt;&lt;link rel="themeData" href="file:///C:%5CUsers%5CBarbara%5CAppData%5CLocal%5CTemp%5Cmsohtmlclip1%5C01%5Cclip_themedata.thmx"&gt;&lt;link rel="colorSchemeMapping" href="file:///C:%5CUsers%5CBarbara%5CAppData%5CLocal%5CTemp%5Cmsohtmlclip1%5C01%5Cclip_colorschememapping.xml"&gt;&lt;!--[if gte mso 9]&gt;&lt;xml&gt;

Der verspochene Regen kam aber bisher doch nicht so richtig. Trotzdem blueht vieles recht kraeftig. Am meisten freue ich mich heuer ueber all die Sachen, die ich letztes Jahr pflanzte und erst jetzt kommen. Zum Teil habe ich schon vieles vergessen. So ist es eine freudige Ueberraschung, jede Woche was Neues zu sehen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Temperatures are back to normal. The promised rain didn't really come though. Nevertheless, there are many plants blooming. I am the happiest about all the plants I planted last year, but didn't come until now. I already forgot about a lot of them, so it's a really nice surprise to find something new every week.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Die rote Akelei bluete auch schon im letzten Jahr. Heuer gibt es aber viel mehr Blueten. Neu ist dieses Mal die blaue. Schade, dass bei letzterer die Blueten so weit nach unten haengen. Man sieht sie gar nicht richtig, ausser man legt sich auf den Boden;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;The red columbine is old. However it has so many more blooms this year. New is the blue one. Too bad that the blooms are hanging so low that you can't really see them unless you are lying on the ground.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5FEfQN2BeHc/SfyNCSOaSOI/AAAAAAAADyQ/dWCAII5LEFo/s1600-h/20090501_32.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5FEfQN2BeHc/SfyNCSOaSOI/AAAAAAAADyQ/dWCAII5LEFo/s320/20090501_32.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5331291129291360482" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5FEfQN2BeHc/SfyNCUFsr6I/AAAAAAAADyI/ieMmrAEVQUQ/s1600-h/20090501_30.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5FEfQN2BeHc/SfyNCUFsr6I/AAAAAAAADyI/ieMmrAEVQUQ/s320/20090501_30.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5331291129791688610" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Die Maigloeckchen zusammen mit diesen blauen Sternchen (Name?) sehen gut aus.

Schon heute frueh um 7 hat es 21 Grad gehabt und sie sollen bis auf 33 Grad steigen. Da kann man nicht viel machen als sich in den Schatten zu setzen und den Sonntag zu geniessen. Im Haus ist es unertraeglich heiss und ich weigere mich, im April schon die Klimaanlage einzuschalten.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 0, 204);"&gt;We are currently enjoying or suffering under extreme summerly temperatures. It had already 70 degrees in the morning and we should get highs to the mid 90s today. You can't do much except enjoying the weekend in the shade. It's unbearable hot in the house and I refuse to turn the A/C on in April.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Die Eichenbaeume haben fast ueber Nacht ihre Blaetter bekommen und jetzt steht der halbe hintere Garten schon im Schatten, was heute aeusserst angenehm ist. Die Vogeltraenke gehoert noch inmitten der Maigloeckchen hingestellt.

Vielen Dank. Ich lese ihren Blog nun schon seit einigen Jahren, bevor ich mit meinem eigenen angefangen habe. Der Award beinhaltet folgendes: "Diese Blogs sind überaus zauberhaft. Diese netten Blogger versuchen Freunde zu finden und zu sein. Sie sind nicht darauf aus sich selbst als die Größten darzustellen. Unsere Hoffnung ist, dass wenn das Band dieses Preises weitergereicht wird mehr Freundschaften weitergereicht werden. Bitte gebt diesen Bloggern mehr Aufmerksamkeit. Gib' diesen Award an Blogger, die weitere Blogger auswählen möchten und diesen schlau geschriebenen Text in ihren Award-Post mit aufnehmen wollen."&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nachdem die meisten deutschlen Blogs, die ich gerne lese, keine Awards im Schneeballsystem erhalten wollen, reiche ich ihn nur an zwei US-bloggers weiter: &lt;a href="http://gardenfaerie.blogspot.com/"&gt;Monica &lt;/a&gt;und &lt;a href="http://thanksfor2day.blogspot.com/"&gt;Jan&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 0, 204);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://lifeinidaho2.blogspot.com/"&gt;Victoria &lt;/a&gt;gave me the Friends" award. THANK YOU. I have been following and enjoying her blog for a couple years now, even before I started having my own gardenblog. This award, comes with the following description to be added &amp;amp; passed along: “These blogs are exceedingly charming. These kind bloggers aim to find and be friends.

Ich bin momentan dabei, das Zimmer fuers Baby herzurichten, d.h. fuers erste all den Kram auszumisten, der sich in den letzten Jahren so angesammelt hat. Letztes Wochenende sind wir nach Pittsburgh gefahren und wie so oft, haben wir unterwegs wo angehalten, damit man auch etwas anderes als nur Strasse sieht.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;I was very busy the last few weeks and didn't have any time for blogging. I am in the process of preparing the room for the baby. That means first getting rid of all the junk we collected the past years. Last weekend we went to Pittsburgh and like often, we stopped somewhere to see something else than just roads.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5FEfQN2BeHc/Sez88pTOTaI/AAAAAAAADvA/6MbLVPh0W1U/s1600-h/20090417_1+%282%29.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 211px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5FEfQN2BeHc/Sez88pTOTaI/AAAAAAAADvA/6MbLVPh0W1U/s320/20090417_1+%282%29.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5326910578081287586" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eindeutig sind die Baeume dort 3-4 Wochen hintendran. Die Forsythie steht in voller Bluete - bei mir sind sie inzwischen komplett verblueht. Dafuer gibt's bei uns jetzt ueberall das wunderschoene Rosa des Kanadischen Judasbaumes und der Wisteria zu sehen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;The trees there are definitely 3-4 weeks behind ours. The forsythia was in full bloom while mine is completely done blooming.

Aus Zeitmangel konnten wir leider nur ein Museum besuchen. Nachdem die Stadt durch mehrere verheerende Hochwasser bekannt geworden ist, entschieden wir uns fuers Hochwassermuseum.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;We spent a few hours in Johnstown. We didn't have enough time though to visit all the museums we were interested. We limited it to the Floodmuseum since Johnstown is known for having one of the worst floods in the country.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5FEfQN2BeHc/Sez-Uh6qZVI/AAAAAAAADvQ/63yFDkF59vU/s1600-h/20090417_11.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5FEfQN2BeHc/Sez-Uh6qZVI/AAAAAAAADvQ/63yFDkF59vU/s320/20090417_11.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5326912087927711058" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Beim Rathaus gibt es mehrere Markierungen vom Hochwasserhoechststand. Hier zu sehen nur das von 1977, das ca. 2.6m hoch war. Das schrecklichste war allerdings 1889 mit ueber 21 Metern, dessen Markierung ich gar nicht aufs Foto brachte. Der Ausloeser dafuer war ein Staudammbruch. Mehr darueber gibt es &lt;a href="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/South-Fork-Talsperre"&gt;hier &lt;/a&gt;nachzulesen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;There were several markings of the high water level on the city hall. On this picture you can only see the most recent one from 1977 with about 8'6''. The worst was from &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johnstown_Flood"&gt;1889 &lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;with over 71 feet. It was the result of the break of the dam.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Die Flut von 1889 gilt als die verherrendste in der Geschicht der USA. Im Museum gab es eine nachgebaute Wand mit Schutt. Unglaublich wie hoch das eigentlich war und was da so alles mitgeschwemmt wurde.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;There was a wall in the museum with constructed debris. It's kind of hard to imagine how high that actually is and how strong the water was. Even some trains got taken with it. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5FEfQN2BeHc/SfUC-yQlH8I/AAAAAAAADxY/qHjNWo8OA20/s1600-h/20090417_3b.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5FEfQN2BeHc/SfUC-yQlH8I/AAAAAAAADxY/qHjNWo8OA20/s320/20090417_3b.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329169011729309634" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hier ein paar Fakten davon (uebersetzt):&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;ueber 2000 Leute starben dabei, davon 99 komplette Familien&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Laichen wurden bis nach Ohio angeschwemmt und erst 1906 gefunden&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;1600 Haeuser wurden zerstoert&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Der Damm enthielt durch den starken Regen 20 Millionen Kubikmeter Wasser. Das entspricht dem Wasservolumen der Niagarafaellen in 36 Minuten&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Das Wasser rollte mit ueber 60 km/h durch die Stadt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5FEfQN2BeHc/Se0D2YP7Q0I/AAAAAAAADvg/B1XWhE-LnbE/s1600-h/20090417_24.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5FEfQN2BeHc/Se0D2YP7Q0I/AAAAAAAADvg/B1XWhE-LnbE/s320/20090417_24.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5326918167006233410" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wenn es jemand mehr interessant, hier ist ein kurzer (2 Minuten) &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gffdsAFeX-A"&gt;Film &lt;/a&gt;darueber - allerdings nur auf English. Die Bilder sprechen jedoch fuer sich.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;If someone is interested, here is a &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gffdsAFeX-A"&gt;2 minute film&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt; about the Great Flood. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anschliessend machten wir eine kurze Runde durch den kleinen zentral gelegenen Park. Es gab eine Statue vom Gruender der Stadt - ueberraschenderweise auch auf Deutsch. Ich finde es immer aeusserst interessant, wie fruehe Einwanderer ihre Namen geaendert haben. Manchmal dabei eher unabsichtlich, wie man hier sieht. Joseph Schantz kam aus der Schweiz. Er behielt seinen deutschen Namen, allerdings wurde in den Bibeln oft die weibliche Form "Schantzin" eingetragen. Das "Sch" wurde oft zusaetlich noch als "J" gelesen und im Laufe der Zeit wurde der Name auf allen Papieren anglisiert und so wurde daraus Johnston und Jones.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;After the museum we walked around Johnstown's central park. There was a statue of the town's founder - surprisingly also in German.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;I find it ineresting how early immigrants often changed their names. Sometimes not on purpose, as you can see here. Joseph Schantz came from Switzerland. He kept his German name, but in the family bible you could often find the female version "Schantzin". People also misread the "Sch" for a "J". Throughout the generations the name got anglicized and changed to Johnston and Jones.

Heute regnet es schon wieder. Nicht das ich mich beschwere, nachdem wir den Regen eh dringend brauchen. Auf meinem Rundgang endeckte ich wieder einiges Neues. Ich war ueber einige Pflaenzchen ueberrascht, die letztes Jahr komplett verschwunden waren oder gar nie richtig wuchsen. jetzt wachsen sie einmalig. Darunter das traenende Herz. Es ist noch winzig, aber die rosas Blueten geben schon ein schoenes Bild ab.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(204, 51, 204);"&gt;I took a few new pictures just in time. Today it's raining again. I'm not complaining since we need all the rain we can get. When walking through the yard I saw a few new things. Some of the little plants surprised me. I planted them last spring and they never came. Among those is the bleeding heart. It's still tiny, but its pink blooms look so lovely.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5FEfQN2BeHc/SeCSCk76O1I/AAAAAAAADu4/Nb6wRGtmW9I/s1600-h/20090410_36.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5FEfQN2BeHc/SeCSCk76O1I/AAAAAAAADu4/Nb6wRGtmW9I/s320/20090410_36.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5323415332524276562" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Zum ersen Mal habe ich einen schoenen Phloxpolster.

Leider nicht alle und seitdem ich schon letzten Herbst eher lachs mit dem Unkrautjaeten war, sehen manche noch immer katastrophal aus. Ich moechte daher gar kein Bild von allem hier reinstellen. Daher nur eine Nahaufnahme vom roten Azaleenstrauch. Vieles ist zum Teil recht ueberwachsen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204); font-style: italic;"&gt;Luckily lots of my flowerbeeds don't really get many weeds. Unfortunately some other ones are just overgrown with them since I was already sloppy with weeding last fall.

Wir hatten letztlich ein paar Regentage, wodurch das Gras in den letzten Tagen nur so in die Hoehe schoss. Nicht mehr allzulange und das Rasenmaehen kann wieder beginnen. Im Vordergarten sind unzaehlige winzige Narzissen aufgeblueht.  Die ersten Anemonen sind aufgeblueht. Ich war nur zu spaet zum Fotografieren dran - die Blueten waren schon wieder zu. Das Sedum waechst. Uberraschenderweise habe ich ein paar Blueten bei meinem "&lt;a href="http://barbarasgarten.blogspot.com/2008/04/welcher-baum-ist-das-what-tree-is-this.html"&gt;Mystery-Baum&lt;/a&gt;" entdeckt. Da freue ich mich jetzt, dass es wirklich ein bluehendes Baeumchen ist - der einzige in meinem Garten. Es duerfte also doch ein Kirschbaum sein (falls nicht, bitte Bescheid geben). Auch der kleine Flieder hat zum ersten Mal Bluetenansaetze. So wird der Garten jedes Jahr bluetenfreudiger. Im Hintergarten beginnen die Veilchen schon zu bluehen. Und auch mein Phlox hat langsam angefangen. Jetzt geht alles so schnell, man muss wirklich jeden Tag nachsehen, damit man ja nichts verpasst.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"&gt;When walking around in my garden today I noticed all kind of new stuff. We had a few rainy days lately, so the grass is very green and high. Not too much longer and the mowing season can begin again. There are tons of tiny daffodils in my front yard.  The first anemones are also blooming - I just was too late in the day to take a picture of them being open. Sedum is growing great again. Surprisingly I noticed a couple blooms on my "&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 153, 0);" href="http://barbarasgarten.blogspot.com/2008/04/welcher-baum-ist-das-what-tree-is-this.html"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 0, 51);"&gt;mystery tree&lt;/span&gt;"&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"&gt;. I am very happy to have one blooming tree in my yard now. It looks like a cherry tree to me - correc tme if I'm wrong. The lilac also looks as if it's going to bloom this year. I just love how the garden changes every year. In the backyard the violas started blooming already. Also one of the phlox started. Everything goes so fast now, you have to check every day or you'll miss it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5FEfQN2BeHc/SdK8xrmptqI/AAAAAAAADuI/oQ0C6N3aYtA/s1600-h/2009-03-31.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5FEfQN2BeHc/SdK8xrmptqI/AAAAAAAADuI/oQ0C6N3aYtA/s320/2009-03-31.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5319521671582430882" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2634515374658865432-5419505672930202386?l=barbarasgarten.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://barbarasgarten.blogspot.com/feeds/5419505672930202386/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2634515374658865432&amp;postID=5419505672930202386' title='19 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2634515374658865432/posts/default/5419505672930202386'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2634515374658865432/posts/default/5419505672930202386'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://barbarasgarten.blogspot.com/2009/03/bunter-fruehling-colorful-spring.html' title='Bunter Fruehling - Colorful Spring'/><author><name>Bek</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08353543632009072686</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-XpwezJvxp1A/TuzngqBHTkI/AAAAAAAAFOo/R_phrFMplmo/s220/20071230_444.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5FEfQN2BeHc/SdK8xrmptqI/AAAAAAAADuI/oQ0C6N3aYtA/s72-c/2009-03-31.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>19</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634515374658865432.post-5130777211548583471</id><published>2009-03-28T12:43:00.006-04:00</published><updated>2009-03-28T22:12:04.381-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='stadt - city'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Oeffentlichkeit - Public'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Baeume - Trees'/><title type='text'>Bluehende Baeume - Blooming Trees</title><content type='html'>Seit ein paar Wochen kann man hier eine wunderschoene weiss-rosa Bluetenpracht geniessen.

Es ist einfach noch immer nicht eindeutig fruehlingshaft. 2009 scheint auch wieder ein trockenes Jahr zu sein. Bei den Wettervorhersagen hoert man immer wieder, wie wenig Niederschlag wir bisher hatten. Hier misst man den Niederschlag in Zoll(=2,54cm).

Dann gab es ein paar Tage lang das schoenste Fruehlingswetter mit bis zu 25 Grad. Einfach herrlich. Jetzt wechselt sich das Wetter alle paar Tage ab - einmal warm, dann wieder recht kalt. Die Natur freut sich sehr ueber die waermenden Temperaturen. Viele Baeume stehen schon in Bluete. Auch die Forsythie hat zum Bluehen begonnen. In den diversen Gaerten sieht man die ersten fruehbluehenden Narzissen. Meine brauchen aber noch ein bisschen.&lt;br /&gt;Leider habe ich momentan gerade ein paar Computerprobleme - meine Photoprogramme lassen sich nicht oeffnen - nur Picasa funktioniert weiterhin, daher gibt's heute nur die eine Collage.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 204, 0);"&gt;Since it was also extremely cold last week with freezing temperatures all day long, the snow stayed for the most part of the week. Then we had a few days the nicest spring weather with up to 80 degrees. Fantastic! Now it's changing again every day: one day very warm, the next cold again. Nature loves this weather as well. Many trees started blooming, including my forsythia. You can already see many early daffodils in some gardens. Mine are still going to take a couple more weeks.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 204, 0);"&gt;Unfortunately I have a few computer problems at the moment - I can't open any of my photoprograms - only picasa is working fine.

Das positive daran: ich kann deshalb von der Arbeit heute zu Hause bleiben. Nachdem wir gestern den ganzen Tag in Washington D.C. verbrachten und ich dadurch noch heute alle Knochen und Muskeln spuere, werde ich diesen Tag besonders geniessen.&lt;br /&gt;Wir haben ueber Nacht mehr Schnee bekommen als das ganze Jahr ueber zusammen. Auch jetzt, am Vormittag, schneit es noch ein wenig daher. Der Wind ist auch sehr stark, sodass man ueberall Schneewehungen vorfindet. Schoen sieht der nasse Schnee ja aus. Trotzdem will man ihn eigentlich im Maerz nicht mehr sehen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;Just now when I thought that spring is coming soon, winter came back in full forth. The good thing: I can stay at home today because of that. I really enjoy this a lot since we spent all day yesterday running around in Washington DC and I'm &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;still sore from that.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;We got more&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt; snow overnight than the whole year together. It's still snowing a little bit. It's also very windy and there are quite a few snow drifts. The wet snow looks very nice, but nobody wants to see it in March anymore.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5FEfQN2BeHc/SavrH9wG8aI/AAAAAAAADrw/PmBBG4je0v0/s1600-h/2009-03-02.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5FEfQN2BeHc/SavrH9wG8aI/AAAAAAAADrw/PmBBG4je0v0/s320/2009-03-02.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5308595107854217634" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obwohl wir nicht allzuweit von Wahington wohnen, fahren wir eigentlich nicht allzuoft dorthin. Das wichtigste haben wir schon etliche Male gesehen. Daher fahren wir eigentlich meist nur dann wenn wir Besuch haben.&lt;br /&gt;Ein Muss sind auf alle Faelle die Denkmaeler - zumindest die wichtigsten. Dazu gehoeren das &lt;a href="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washington_Monument"&gt;Washington &lt;/a&gt;Monument und das &lt;a href="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lincoln_Memorial"&gt;Lincoln Memorial&lt;/a&gt;.Von der Ferne sahen wir auch das &lt;a href="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jefferson_Memorial"&gt;Jefferson&lt;/a&gt; Denkmal und das &lt;a href="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kapitol_%28Washington%29"&gt;Kapitol&lt;/a&gt;. Man koennte eigentlich den ganzen Tag damit verbringen, von Denkmal zu Denkmal zu spazieren.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;Although we don't live too far from Washington DC, we don't go there often anymore. We saw the most important sights many times before. Now we are only going if we have any visitors staying with us.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;A must are definitely the memorials - at least the most important ones. We went to the &lt;a style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washington_Monument"&gt;Washington Monument&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a style="color: rgb(0, 0, 102);" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lincoln_memorial"&gt;Lincoln Memorial.&lt;/a&gt; We also saw the &lt;a style="color: rgb(0, 0, 102);" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jefferson_Memorial"&gt;Jefferson Memorial&lt;/a&gt; and the &lt;a style="color: rgb(0, 0, 102);" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Capitol"&gt;Capitol&lt;/a&gt; from the distance. You could actually spend the whole day walking from memorial to memorial - even though they are all in the same area. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5FEfQN2BeHc/SavzPo6n9pI/AAAAAAAADr4/YAQA776HBkA/s1600-h/2009-03-011.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5FEfQN2BeHc/SavzPo6n9pI/AAAAAAAADr4/YAQA776HBkA/s320/2009-03-011.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5308604035793155730" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Im Sommer sieht natuerlich alles viel schoener aus. Jeder Brunnen und Teich war leider leergepumpt, wodurch es zum Teil dort wie eine Baustelle aussah. Es gibt in dem Bereich dort sehr viele Baeume, vor allem Kirschen, und dadurch ist alles dann schoen gruen. In ein paar Blumenbeeten schauten schon die Tulpenspitzen heraus. Das wird dann sicherlich auch im Fruehling ein schoenes Bild geben. Es trieben sich zumindest hunderte von Gaensen rum, die fleissig nach Futter suchten. Wahrscheinlich spuerten auch die, dass noch mehr Schnee kommen wird.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;In summer, everything looks more beautiful. Every fountain and pond is empty at the moment and it looks more like a construction area - especially the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lincoln_Memorial_Reflecting_Pool"&gt;reflecting pond&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;. There are many trees, especially cherry trees, there which make this a very green area in summer. There were a few flowerbeds already prepared with tulips poking out. I'm sure this will look very nice in spring when everything starts to bloom. There were hundreds of geese around who were looking for food. They probably knew too that there was more snow coming.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5FEfQN2BeHc/Sav0cL34eBI/AAAAAAAADsA/8QSTuVL0wT4/s1600-h/20090301_19a.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5FEfQN2BeHc/Sav0cL34eBI/AAAAAAAADsA/8QSTuVL0wT4/s320/20090301_19a.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5308605350846953490" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Im &lt;a href="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hirshhorn_Museum_and_Sculpture_Garden"&gt;Hirschhorn Skulpturengarten&lt;/a&gt; stand die Zaubernuss in voller Bluete.

Ich hab dort nicht allzuviele Fotos gemacht, nachdem sie meist eh nie so gut rauskommen. Wirklich interessant fand ich aber die Kolanuesse. Seitdem ich schwanger bin, trinke ich eigentlich kein Cola oder aehnlich ungesundes Getraenk mehr. Nach all dem Herumlaufen goennte ich mir aber dann doch eines im Restaurant und die Wirkung war wirklich wie im Museum beschrieben:)&lt;br /&gt;Auf den Schildern steht beschrieben: &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Es geht besser mit Cola... schon im 13. Jahrhundert gab es einen Kolanusshandel zwischen West- und Nordafrika. Muslime schaetzen die Kolanuss als Aufputschmittel und als Zeichen der Gastfreundschaft.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Kola wurde auch als Mittel in zahlreichen Ritualen genommen. Z.B: wenn jemand bereit war, sein Kind zu nennen oder wenn man um die Hand der gewuenschten Frau anhaelt. Kola beruhigt den Magen und reinigt das Herz. Wenn man muede ist und Kolanuss kaut, schlaeft man nicht ein.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;We spent lots of hours in the National Museum of Natural History. I didn't take too many pictures there, because most times they don't come out nice. I found the kolanuts very interesting though. Since I am pregnant I am staying away from Coke and similar unhealthy drinks. After running around all day I did have one though for dinner.

Schnee haben wir zwar keinen mehr bekommen, aber den Temperaturen zufolge nach ist es noch eindeutig Winter. Es ist einfach noch zu kalt und ungemuetlich, um sich wirklich gerne draussen aufzuhalten. Trotzdem haben letzte Woche die ersten Krokusse zum Bluehen begonnen. Meist sind die Blueten jedoch mangels Sonnenschein geschlossen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(153, 51, 153);"&gt;Spring doesn't quite yet want to come. We haven't gotten any new snow anymore. According to the temperatures it still feels very much like winter though. It is just too uncomfortable to spend time outside yet. Nevertheless, the first crocus started blooming a week ago.

At least the ground is covered.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;So, now since winter was here, I can't wait for spring to arrive.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2634515374658865432-5252178263901107307?l=barbarasgarten.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://barbarasgarten.blogspot.com/feeds/5252178263901107307/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2634515374658865432&amp;postID=5252178263901107307' title='26 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2634515374658865432/posts/default/5252178263901107307'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2634515374658865432/posts/default/5252178263901107307'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://barbarasgarten.blogspot.com/2009/01/erster-schnee-first-snow.html' title='Erster Schnee - First Snow'/><author><name>Bek</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08353543632009072686</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-XpwezJvxp1A/TuzngqBHTkI/AAAAAAAAFOo/R_phrFMplmo/s220/20071230_444.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5FEfQN2BeHc/SX-AtRqfvUI/AAAAAAAADqg/QVEovpxpaWI/s72-c/2009-01-27.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>26</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634515374658865432.post-2840067368756483513</id><published>2009-01-24T12:46:00.008-05:00</published><updated>2009-01-25T11:08:31.872-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Echinacea'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Meme'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Straeucher - Shrubs'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Salbei - Sage'/><title type='text'>3 Pflanzen auf der Insel / 3 plants on the Island...</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://thanksfor2day.blogspot.com/2009/01/on-my-way-to-island-plants-in-hand.html"&gt;Jan &lt;/a&gt;beteiligte sich am "Insel-stoeckchen" (urspruenglich von &lt;a href="http://blog.shirlsgardenwatch.co.uk/2009/01/desert-island-plant-challenge.html"&gt;Shirls&lt;/a&gt;). Welche 3 Pflanzen wuerde man auf die beruehmte einsame Insel mitnehmen? Theoretisch, natuerlich. Es muss sich dabei um keine tropischen Pflanzen handeln.&lt;br /&gt;Hier ist meine Auswahl, die mir gar nicht so leicht gefallen ist. Sich nur auf 3 Pflanzen zu beschraenken war wirklich nicht leicht. Mein Ausgangspunkt war mein Garten - welche Pflanzen habe ich schon, die fuer mich wirklich ein "muss" sind? Dabei ist mir auch wichtig, dass es sich dabei um keine haglichen Pflanzen handelt. Sonst haetten die bei mir sowieso keine Chance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(204, 51, 204);"&gt;&lt;a style="color: rgb(102, 0, 204);" href="http://thanksfor2day.blogspot.com/2009/01/on-my-way-to-island-plants-in-hand.html"&gt;Jan &lt;/a&gt;paticipated in &lt;a style="color: rgb(102, 51, 102);" href="http://blog.shirlsgardenwatch.co.uk/2009/01/desert-island-plant-challenge.html"&gt;Shirls &lt;/a&gt;Island meme: Which 3 plants would you take to a desert island? In theory, of course. It doesn't  have to be tropical plants.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(204, 51, 204);"&gt;Here is my selection. It was really difficult to only choose 3 plants. My starting point was my own garden - which plants do I already have that are definitely a must for me? It's also important, that they are easy to grow. Otherwise they wouldn't have a chance with me.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Meine erste Wahl ist der Sonnenhut. Es gibt mittlerweile soviele verschiedene Farben davon. Einreihige oder doppelte Blueten. Man kann alleine von dieser Blume einen recht bunten Garten bekommen, was ich gerne probieren moechte. Bisher habe ich nur die weisse und rote. Sie ist nicht nur schoen anzusehen, sondern auch eine aeusserst bewehrte Heilpflanze. Tagtaeglich schwirren immer eine Unzahl von Schmetterlingen, Bienen und andere Insekten von Sonnenhut zu Sonnenhut. Und sowas gehoert nun mal zu einem lebendigen Garten einfach dazu.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5FEfQN2BeHc/SXtXBPa9b5I/AAAAAAAADqY/VHsCC9swa3w/s1600-h/20080807_6.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5FEfQN2BeHc/SXtXBPa9b5I/AAAAAAAADqY/VHsCC9swa3w/s320/20080807_6.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5294921465735245714" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(204, 51, 204);"&gt;My first choice is the coneflower. You can get them in so many colors by now. Single or double layers of petals. Your garden can look very colorful by just having those flowers. That's something I would like to try. Sofar I only have the white and the red one.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(204, 51, 204);"&gt;They are not only beautiful, but also useful plants. There are also always lots of butterflies, bees, and other insects stopping by. A garden without all those little visitors is a dead garden.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5FEfQN2BeHc/SXtXAwT2FuI/AAAAAAAADqQ/0oJhNCfyLsU/s1600-h/20080712_84.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5FEfQN2BeHc/SXtXAwT2FuI/AAAAAAAADqQ/0oJhNCfyLsU/s320/20080712_84.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5294921457383904994" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Meine 2. Wahl ist der Salbei. Auch den gibt's in mehreren Farben und Sorten, obwohl blau hier meine Lieblingsfarbe ist. Sie wachsen sehr schnell und bevor man merkts, hat man einen kleinen schoenen Farbfleck, der das ganze Jahr ueber da ist.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 51, 255);"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5FEfQN2BeHc/SXtXAafwisI/AAAAAAAADqI/bdlfTkAdBOY/s1600-h/20081010_26.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5FEfQN2BeHc/SXtXAafwisI/AAAAAAAADqI/bdlfTkAdBOY/s320/20081010_26.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5294921451528293058" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 51, 255);"&gt;My second choice is the sage. Again, it's available in a few colors, but blue is my favorite one here. They grow very fast and before you notice you have a nice little patch filled with color which lasts for the whole season.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5FEfQN2BeHc/SXtV0KMWdeI/AAAAAAAADqA/fqSvBct4atA/s1600-h/20071230_552.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5FEfQN2BeHc/SXtV0KMWdeI/AAAAAAAADqA/fqSvBct4atA/s320/20071230_552.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5294920141481866722" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Meine letzte Wahl ist Kräuselmyrte (&lt;i&gt;Lagerstroemia&lt;/i&gt;). Mir gefiel die von Anfang an als ich hierherkam. Wahrscheinlich weil ich sie von zu Hause nicht kannte. Sie werden zumindest in unserer Gegend oft im oeffentlichen Bereich verwendet. Das verschoenert im Sommer so manche Strassen. Man kann sie als Strauch oder Baum wachsen. Besonders im Hochsommer bringen sie schoene und langandauernde Farbe in den Garten. Es scheint, als ob sie auch sehr widerstandsfaehig sind. Ich dachte schon, meine waeren erledigt, als ich sie nach dem Umsetzen nicht genuegend gegossen hatte. Dann bemerkte ich, dass sie doch wieder zu wachsen angefangen haben. Gestern ist mir gerade aufgefallen, dass sie mit ihrem Samenstaenden auch recht interessant im Winter aussehen koennen.&lt;br /&gt;Der einzige Nachteil: sie locken die "japenese Beetles" an, die Blaetter ratzeputz abfressen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5FEfQN2BeHc/SXtVz4MDXYI/AAAAAAAADp4/Q6UYmvtDYw4/s1600-h/20071230_551.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5FEfQN2BeHc/SXtVz4MDXYI/AAAAAAAADp4/Q6UYmvtDYw4/s320/20071230_551.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5294920136648777090" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(153, 51, 153);"&gt;My last pick is the Crape myrtle. I liked them as soon as I moved over here since we don't have them in Austria. They are used often in public landscaping in our area here, which makes the streets look so beautiful. You can grow them as a shrub or as a tree. They provide great color in the hottest summer months. It seems nothing can kill them. I thought I had mine killed when transplanting and not watering enough. However, they started to grow again. They are deciduous plants, but I recently noticed that some larger ones also look very nice in winter with their seedpods still on.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(153, 51, 153);"&gt; Only negative aspect: japanese beetles love them. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5FEfQN2BeHc/SXtVzTi51aI/AAAAAAAADpw/UUyOnYYNa8s/s1600-h/20080717_55.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5FEfQN2BeHc/SXtVzTi51aI/AAAAAAAADpw/UUyOnYYNa8s/s320/20080717_55.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5294920126812509602" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2634515374658865432-2840067368756483513?l=barbarasgarten.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://barbarasgarten.blogspot.com/feeds/2840067368756483513/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2634515374658865432&amp;postID=2840067368756483513' title='14 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2634515374658865432/posts/default/2840067368756483513'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2634515374658865432/posts/default/2840067368756483513'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://barbarasgarten.blogspot.com/2009/01/3-pflanzen-auf-der-insel-3-plants-on.html' title='3 Pflanzen auf der Insel / 3 plants on the Island...'/><author><name>Bek</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08353543632009072686</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-XpwezJvxp1A/TuzngqBHTkI/AAAAAAAAFOo/R_phrFMplmo/s220/20071230_444.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5FEfQN2BeHc/SXtXBPa9b5I/AAAAAAAADqY/VHsCC9swa3w/s72-c/20080807_6.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>14</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634515374658865432.post-7730795592522820227</id><published>2009-01-16T20:35:00.004-05:00</published><updated>2009-01-16T21:30:39.077-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Voegel-Birds'/><title type='text'>Bitterkalt - Bittercold</title><content type='html'>Ich hatte heute die Gelegenheit ein paar Voegel zu fotografieren (allerdings nicht bei mir im Garten).

In der Nacht hat es bis zu minus 15 Grad, unter Tags steigen die Temperaturen leider nicht ueber minus 6 Grad. Zumindest gibt es tollen Sonnenschein, was das ganze trotz Wind etwas ertraeglicher macht. Ich moechte mir aber gar nicht vorstellen, wie es sich wohl in den Gegenden mit -40 Grad anfuehlen muss.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;According to the weather reports we are currently having the coldest days since 4 years.

Die meisten kennen sie wahrscheinlich von den zahlreichen Sonnenschutz oder &lt;em&gt;après&lt;/em&gt;-sun Mitteln, nachdem das Gel leichte Verbrennungen lindert. Aber auch in anderen Kosmetikprodukten findet man sie immer haeufiger. Auch Tees und Saefte mit Aloe vera sieht man immer oefter angeboten - selbst habe ich die aber noch nicht probiert. Nachdem sie aber eine erfirschende und immunstaerkende Wirkung haben sollen, waere es doch gerade in dieser Jahreszeit nicht schlecht das zu trinken.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Was ich bisher nicht wusste: nach mehreren Jahren bekommt die Aloe vera Bluetenstaende mit gelblichen Blueten. Nachdem sie jedoch keinen Frost vertragen, sind sie bei uns nur als Zimmerpflanzen zu finden (ich habe jedoch keinen gruenen Daumen fuer Zimmerpflanzen).&lt;br /&gt;Bei &lt;a href="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Echte_Aloe"&gt;wikipedia &lt;/a&gt;kann man ein uebringends tolles Foto des Gels beim Blattquerschnitt sehen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;Who doesn't know this plant? Most probably only know it from sun blocks or after-sun lotions since its gel has a soothing and healing effect. It can also be found in all other kind of cosmetic products though. The last few months I noticed more and more teas and juices with it as well. However, I have never tried it before. It would be a good idea to drink them at this time of the year since they are supposed to be refreshing and good for the immune system.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;I never knew though that they also get yellowish blooms after a few years. Since they don't like frost, they can only be found as indoor plants in my area ( and I have never had luck with any indorr plants before).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 153, 153);" href="http://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Datei:Split_Aloe.jpg&amp;amp;filetimestamp=20050502060832"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;Here&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;is a great picture with the gel from the open leave.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5FEfQN2BeHc/SWn8jMayWHI/AAAAAAAADmI/YRfnb5wEKsM/s1600-h/20090111_11.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5FEfQN2BeHc/SWn8jMayWHI/AAAAAAAADmI/YRfnb5wEKsM/s320/20090111_11.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5290036918882556018" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2634515374658865432-5873779206150141228?l=barbarasgarten.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://barbarasgarten.blogspot.com/feeds/5873779206150141228/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2634515374658865432&amp;postID=5873779206150141228' title='15 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2634515374658865432/posts/default/5873779206150141228'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2634515374658865432/posts/default/5873779206150141228'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://barbarasgarten.blogspot.com/2009/01/aloe-vera.html' title='Aloe Vera'/><author><name>Bek</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08353543632009072686</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-XpwezJvxp1A/TuzngqBHTkI/AAAAAAAAFOo/R_phrFMplmo/s220/20071230_444.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5FEfQN2BeHc/SWn8jJDaGWI/AAAAAAAADmA/0njqRs13OUk/s72-c/20090111_7.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>15</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634515374658865432.post-5958330823916072557</id><published>2009-01-04T08:26:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2009-01-04T10:11:48.064-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Meme'/><title type='text'>More about me....</title><content type='html'>Im Sommer schon hatte mir Monica ein Stoeckchen zugeworfen. Jetzt habe ich es endlich aufgefangen... das Thema: 6 wahllose Dinge ueber mich zu erzaehlen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 204, 0);"&gt;Monica tagged me for the 6 random fact meme already back in summer. Now I finally get around to it...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Wir sind ein Katzenhaushalt. Wir sind mit Guinness und London hier eingezogen. Eines Tages stand dann Odessa auf dem Fensterbrett, spazierte herein, und entschloss sich von da an hierzubleiben. Im letzten Sommer kam dann Athena, ein streunendes Kaetzchen, zu uns. Urspruenglich nur um Wunden ausheilen zu lassen. Dann hatten wir sie aber ins Herz geschlossen und wollten uns nicht mehr von ihr trennen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 204, 0);"&gt;We are a cat-house. We moved in with Guinness a&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 204, 0);"&gt;nd London. One day, Odessa stood on the window sill, walked through the door, and decided to stay here from that day on. Last summer we took care of a little stray kitten who had some nasty wounds. We meant to keep her only until she recovered. Of course, a month later we didn't want her to leave anymore. We named her Athena.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5FEfQN2BeHc/SV_hzU9S6TI/AAAAAAAADlY/QhnCg9Zyc3U/s1600-h/2008-09-14.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5FEfQN2BeHc/SV_hzU9S6TI/AAAAAAAADlY/QhnCg9Zyc3U/s320/2008-09-14.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5287192759471630642" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Ich hatte schon immer ein geordnetes Chaos. Hauptsache &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;ich &lt;/span&gt;weiss, wo sich etwas befindet. Allerdings treibt das jeden Nahestaehenden, sprich fueher Schwesterchen, jetzt Ehemann, in den Wahnsinn.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 204, 0);"&gt;I have always had an orderly chaos. At least &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 204, 0);"&gt;I&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 204, 0);"&gt; know, where I can find something. However, this drives everyone living with me insane - previously my sister, now DH. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Ich kann mich einfach nicht entscheiden, welche Jahreszeit ich am liebsten habe. Als Kind war es eindeutig der Winter mit dem Schnee. Mittlerweile scheint es so, als ob ich mich immer nach der naechsten sehne.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 204, 0);"&gt;I can't decide which season is my favorite one. As a kid it was definitely the winter with its snow. Now it seems I always like the one coming up next as the best.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5FEfQN2BeHc/SWDL1PrSccI/AAAAAAAADl4/xyc_iU78N7I/s1600-h/2007-12-30.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5FEfQN2BeHc/SWDL1PrSccI/AAAAAAAADl4/xyc_iU78N7I/s320/2007-12-30.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5287450078134563266" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4.

Ich lese sehr gerne. Am liebsten etwas lustiges, spannendes, unterhaltsames... Leider habe ich meist nicht sosehr die Zeit dazu, wie ich gerne haette.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 204, 0);"&gt;I love to read. Mainly something funny, exciting, entertaining.. Unfortunately I don't always have as much time for it as I'd like to. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. Ich bin sehr gern zu Hause, obwohl ich auch gerne Ausfluege mache. Aber ich brauche nicht dauernd wohinfahren, weil ich es sonst zu Hause nicht aushalten wuerde.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 204, 0);"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 204, 0);"&gt;I enjoy being at home, even though I also like to go on trips. However, I don't need to go somewhere just because I can't stand staying at home all the time.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2634515374658865432-5958330823916072557?l=barbarasgarten.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://barbarasgarten.blogspot.com/feeds/5958330823916072557/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2634515374658865432&amp;postID=5958330823916072557' title='19 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2634515374658865432/posts/default/5958330823916072557'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2634515374658865432/posts/default/5958330823916072557'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://barbarasgarten.blogspot.com/2009/01/more-about-me.html' title='More about me....'/><author><name>Bek</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08353543632009072686</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-XpwezJvxp1A/TuzngqBHTkI/AAAAAAAAFOo/R_phrFMplmo/s220/20071230_444.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5FEfQN2BeHc/SV_hzU9S6TI/AAAAAAAADlY/QhnCg9Zyc3U/s72-c/2008-09-14.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>19</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634515374658865432.post-7648625663149430545</id><published>2008-12-29T09:51:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2008-12-29T16:00:13.428-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Rueckblick - Review'/><title type='text'>Jahresrueckblick 2008 - 2008 Review</title><content type='html'>Es ist wieder Zeit, einen Rueckblick auf das vergangene Gartenjahr zu machen.

Wir hatten etwas Schnee, abwechselnd mit fruehlingshaften warmen Temperaturen. Ideal, um ein paar Ausfluege zu machen und zu sehen, was die Natur so zu bieten hat. Irgendwann werde ich mir auch fuer den Garten so einen bunten Kohl besorgen. Er bringt zumindest etwas Farbe hinein.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5FEfQN2BeHc/SVUKDTuvOzI/AAAAAAAADi0/CAUd3ZcSxH4/s1600-h/januar08.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5284140789741337394" style="width: 320px; cursor: pointer; height: 200px;" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5FEfQN2BeHc/SVUKDTuvOzI/AAAAAAAADi0/CAUd3ZcSxH4/s320/januar08.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(153, 51, 153);"&gt;In January there wasn't much going in in my garden itself. There was a little bit of snow, alternating with spring-like temperatures. Perfect to take a couple trips and see what's going on with nature. At one point I am going to get such a colorful cabbage also for my garde. It does look very nice in winter.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Februar&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;Auch im Februar konnte sich das Wetter noch nicht so ganz zwischen Winter und Fruehling entscheiden. Von einer Woche zur naechsten wechselte es von Eis zu den ersten bluehenden Krokussen. Februar duerfte auch der "Vogelmonat" gewesen sein.

From one week to the next we went from ice to the first blooming crocus. February was also the "bird month". Never before had I so many birds at once in my garden.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Maerz / March&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;Im Maerz war der Fruehling nun endgueltig da. Ueberall begann es zu bluehen. Auch die Arbeit im Garten begann dadurch wieder. Neu fuer mich war die bluehende Pieris. Nachdem mir die weisse so gut gefallen hat, musste ich mir auch noch ein paar roetliche besorgen. Ich hoffe, sie bluehen auch heuer wieder. Im Sommer wurden einige neue Bluetenstaende ganz verbrannt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5FEfQN2BeHc/SVVv1j1n7oI/AAAAAAAADjE/9qCpM4jd9m4/s1600-h/fort+washington.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5284252703733051010" style="width: 320px; height: 200px;" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5FEfQN2BeHc/SVVv1j1n7oI/AAAAAAAADjE/9qCpM4jd9m4/s320/fort+washington.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;   &lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 102, 102);"&gt;Spring was finally here. There were blooms everywhere you looked. With that also the garden work started again. New in my garden was the pieris. Since I liked it so much, I got a couple red ones as well. I hope they are going to bloom again this year.

Dabei gab's immer etwas interessantes und neues zu sehen. Im Garten gab es unzaehlige Hortensienblueten. Und auch die Taglilien hatten ihren Hoehepunkt. Ich hab mir im Spaetsommer noch ein paar mehr besorgt.

There was always something new and interesting to see. In my garden the hydrengeas had countless blooms. Also the daylilies were in their prime. I bought a few more later in the year. I hope they are going to bloom in the new year.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Juli&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;Im Juli machten wir ein paar Kurzurlaube an den Ozean: einmal blieben wir in Virginia, das andere mal erkundigten wir zum ersten Mal Delaware.

And since I am finally on vacation and have plenty of time, why not..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;Geschenkpapier oder Geschenksäckchen?&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 153, 0); font-style: italic;"&gt;Wrapping paper or gift bags?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;Papier. Das Auspacken und die dazugehoerende Ueberraschung ist ja das Beste daran. Irgendwie faellt das bei den Saeckchen weg, finde ich.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"&gt;Wrapping paper. Unwrapping presents and the surprise that goes along with it, is the best when getting presents. It's just not the same when you take the present out of the bag.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Echter oder künstlicher Baum?&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"&gt;Natural or artificial tree?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Künstlich. Es ist mir aber wichtig, dass er so natuerlich wie moeglich aussieht. Also keine rosa, weisse oder blaue Baeume:)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"&gt;Artificial. However, it's important to me that it looks as natural as possible. No pink, white, or blue trees for me:)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Wann stellst du deinen Baum auf?&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 153, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;When do you put your tree up?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Normalerweise am Abend des 23. Heuer wahrscheinlich ein paar Tage frueher als Probe ohne Schmuck. Wir haben seit Sommer ein neues Kaetzchen mit riesigem Kletterdrang. Mal schaun, ob der Baum das unbeschadet uebersteht:) &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"&gt;Usually on the evening of December 23. This year probably a few days earlier as a test without any decorations. We have a new kitten since summer who likes to climb everything. We'll see if the tree will survive that first:)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Wann fliegt der Baum wieder raus?&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"&gt;When does the tree have to go again?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Meist bald nach Neujahr, nachdem normalerweise auch die Schule am 2. wieder beginnt und ich dann nicht viel Zeit dafuer habe.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"&gt;Most times soon after New Year, since I usually have to get back to work soon after and then there isn't much time for that.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;Magst du Eierpunsch?&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;span style="font-weight: b
