Britta's Letters from her life divided between city-life in German's capital Berlin and life in a Bavarian village

Saturday 22 October 2022

Well...hmm...Changed my mind...I'm just sitting on a fence...



 As you might have seen that I, fickle, changed my mind again and decided to keep the blog about gardens, plants and parks - but now I write it in English. 
I managed to change the header into English and hope you will see that on the blogroll next day (today Google still keeps the German blog title "...und eine kleine Blume muss man haben", but the text is in English), but I was not able to change the blog address - thus you will find "...sunshine, freedom, and a little flower" still under the German link
 

- but in my humble attempts to write in English. 

The topics remain the same: plants in all varieties, my visits to gardens and parks, quotes about plants in literature or in paintings - and whatever other topics I find flying around like parachutes of dandelion. 

I would enjoy it very much if you come with me - five of you are already there - please bring with you a picnic blanket and a botanist's specimen container, and then we'll pick together some beautiful moments for our herbarium.

    1. I may start with a painting, Helen - I took a photo in Berlin and will search for it.

  4. "I wandered lonely as a cloud that floats on high o'er vales and hills"
    This is the first poem I was made to memorize, and turned out, I liked it.

    1. "For oft, when on my couch I lie / in vacant or in pensive mood / They flash upon that inward eye / wich is the bliss of solitude / and then my heart with pleasure fills / and dances with the daffodils." Dear Wordsworth knows how to makes us happy too, Joanne!
