Ina's and Anton's fruit and vegetable garden










I received this tableau from Ina and Anton. They are dearest friends from Basle with a beautiful vegetable and fruit garden with a little gardener's house. A paradise where they often invite us for delicious homemade dishes served with superb wine. It is always so pleasing to spend a hot day underneath apple trees, listening to humming honey bees and happily singing birds. When leaving in the evening Ina always packs a bag with salad, herbs, summer squash, potatoes and... to take home. On top of all these goodies she puts a bunch of all those flowers growing in the garden then. I was told that even in winter time when it is mild they have lunch in the sun...

Because I love all this so much they painted this pic for me sometime ago! Now I can look at all the treasures any time I feel like. How about that?

Exactly one year ago I published my first post. It was a year which has sharpened all my senses. I look at my surroundings in a more attentive way and this has enriched me a lot. It is also you, dear blogger friends, who have kept me going and I would like to say THANK YOU SO MUCH for encouraging me and visiting my blog. 

This afternoon there will be a little giveaway so stay tuned!

Hugs,

  2. Hi Christa! I posted a comment here a few hours ago, but... it's gone! Maybe it never made it to your blog!

    Your friends' painting reminds me of one of my "sunny" photos! In fact, as I couldn't find my glasses, I mistook it for a photo!

    One year of blogging! I'm glad I found you!

    GOOD NIGHT!
