I miss the smell of fireplaces and burning leaf piles.
Now when I smell smoke, it means someones house is on fire.

wifey set the house on fire once.
So when i smell smoke, I panic.
Mind you, I set fire to my bedroom when i was a lad.
About 3 times, if I recall.

I dread to think what you were doing in there to create fire so many times!!!

That must be a German saying, but I agree

An English equivalent is that it’s like herding cats which is an equally impossible task

Yes. you are right , it is an German saying.

 

[Bee62]

Hmmm.
I will try to herd some cats and see what happens. There are lots in the streets here.
Most of them have fleas,so I can try to herd the fleas as well.
Results to follow!

I can tell you the result: The cats are gone after a while but left you some fleas. Much joy with them.

It's been abnormally dry here as well. One of the main reasons why this years' Autumn colors were a bit dull, coupled with only a few hard frosts. There are a few major storms blowing across western Alaska....90 mph winds, allegedly 50-60 ft waves out at sea, these storms are heading east south east and are predicted to bring colder temps and rain this way the end of next week.

Who wants rain from Germany ? We have too much of it. I only say: swamp, that`s what my garden and the meadow of the sheep is like.

Sunny and bright all day....temps still way above average, I'm sure Winter's blustery knife will soon be thrown our way... But until that happens we enjoyed an afternoon out on the water. Trees still looking alright at water's edge.

I needed an excuse for having my oven on in the kitchen this a.m, (I was cold and wanted to use the oven to give me some heat) so I took some leftover apples and made an apple pie. I've never made apple pie before - not a big fan of fruit pie. But the apples were mealy and not satisfactory for eating as is. So in about an hour I'm going to have to set my one-trip-into-town rule aside so I can go get some vanilla ice cream at the store. I bought apples, cabbage, red potatoes, red onions and german sausage to try a recipe that I saw in a sidebar on Facebook. I really love cooked cabbage, so I thought what the heck. Well, folks, if that recipe turns up on your FB sidebar, don't bother. It was pretty yuck!!!! It did smell pretty good, though.

The sun is brightly shining, but it's darned cold out there! I don't have much firewood this year, so I'm being frugal with the firewood. Haven't made a fire in the wood stove yet this year. I've a sneaking suspicion that that's going to change soon, though. Br-r-r-r.

How cold is it ?

[Bee62]

Good evening Linda.
Maybe tomorrow will be a sunny day here too. ( Think of the musical My Fair Lady )
..... I think she`s got it ....

The rain in Spain falls mainly on the plain

The rain in Spain falls mainly on the plain

In German it is said: Es grünt so grün wenn Spaniens Blüten blühen .....

 

[JoesMum]

In German it is said: Es grünt so grün wenn Spaniens Blüten blühen .....

Lots of umlauts in that!

And not a literal translation of the English original either. The first bit doesn’t translate to me “It greens so green”?

Help please Sabine!

[emoji33] THREE TIMES??!?! [emoji91]

I was very fond of my chemistry set and Bunsen burner.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

I dread to think what you were doing in there to create fire so many times!!!

The quest for knowledge and scientific understanding.
And being stupid.

Grrrrrrr ! ! !
i am so itchy ! ! !
I think you were right.
