Today: beautiful autumnal colouring in Yokohama and a new velvet skirt that just fit into the picture.

Hope you had or will have a nice day, too!

Garbage, brought out on the wrong pick-up day, not being collected, seal to declare it had been rejected, case handled by dustman #6.

And because it's Saint Nicholas Day... I hope you didn't forget to put out the boots yesterday and found them generously filled this morning!
Froehlichen Nikolaus Euch daheim!

And thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou..... for the many dear comments on my hat! Some of your compliments were so lovely, I had to take a look on my beret if you really could have meant this very one... We have been out all day long today, so I couldn't write to any of you yet. Thanks Nicole for the safety pin idea for the pompom, I will hesitate no longer!

Have a wonderful weekend!

Enjoy your weekend!

A photo I took at this year's うんどうかい (undokai = Sports Day) of Dagny's kindergarten three weeks ago. One of those events I failed to blog about although there would be a lot to tell... it wasn't as sunny as last year, so we didn't suffer from sunburn again.

Wishing you a pleasant weekend!

A day late, but since many of you are a good deal behind my time, I hope I can still catch you in time for wishing you a lovely weekend!

Ours started with lots of rain and it was rather cold. The Laburnum sock is progressing, slowly, I am working on the heel right now, first time short rows... very curious how it will turn out.
Bye!

After a very, very rainy week we enjoyed being outside over the weekend.

Hope you are having a good time, too.

Another kitchen.
I'll be finishing the last block of my star quilt in a few minutes and will take pictures of all blocks together tomorrow, if the weather stays as beautiful as it was today.
Hope you are all enjoying your weekend.

Still sewing on the block, one rather long seam to go. Getting excited seeing it coming together... and actually a little impatient.

Happy weekend!

Today

Today's walk. Spring! The cherry blossoms only need a few more days...
Enjoy your weekend!

Wintry Walk

I thought I share these impressions from yesterday's walk with you. If I don't do today I'll never do, I know. There are so many photos I took in order to show here on the blog over the year but never did...
It was a rather mild day with little light. Very grey. Still enjoyable, as we headed in a rarely explored direction and discovered a couple of interesting things. Like that Mayumi bush (with the berries), the only one I know of in our area, an isolated, very peaceful little valley and a shrine we did not know. It is amazing how much new there is one step aside your old, well known paths here in Japan.

I hope you are all well.
30 is coming later today - until then!
