No Partridge…

…but I did find a pear tree. Yesterday was a beautiful day, so I took a mid-afternoon break fro a walk through the vineyards at the edge of town, choosing to go west instead of my usual east. (East is closer and less hilly.) I had heard that it was zero Celsius back in Canada, […]

Another Walk In The Vineyards

It was a hazy Sunday afternoon, and the cool weather has finally started. For me that means the leftover grapes in the fields are getting close to my preferred temperature. I like them cool, as if they had been refrigerated. Warm grapes don’t appeal to me. So I was pleased that, for whatever reason, there […]

In The Vineyard

Went for an afternoon walk through one of the vineyards on the edge of town. Most of the grapes in the area have been harvested, but there were still some left on the vines. I don’t know if those left are a later maturing variety of grape, or whether there was simply too much to […]

The Church Crawl – II

Today just a few photos left over from yesterday’s post about Thursday’s event. I think my favorite is the people walking through the vineyard single file. By that point I had separated from the group.

Sunset

I’m writing this Tuesday on my bus in to German class. I’m feeling decidedly unmotivated. Nothing wrong with the class, but it is 25 Celsius (that’s 77 […]

Roots II

Just a few more photos from our Sunday afternoon walk.

Roots

I’m not quite sure exactly where we were. On the way home from church yesterday my wife said “Why don’t we go for a walk.” So we pulled off the road, got out of the car and walked. If you really need to know where we were, we had left Mullheim and had not yet […]

Winter Wonderland II

Just a few pictures today of Saturday’s snowfall in Sulzburg and the surrounding vineyards.

Winter Wonderland I

I woke up Sunday morning and there was snow on the ground. Winter is almost over, and for the first time the flurries didn’t melt on contact. Not enough snow to justify putting on boots mind you, the streets and sidewalks were bare, but it was better than nothing. I’ve missed winter. It will all […]
