Snow White and the seven shovels

A little house, all covered in snow.The beauty was stranded! The prince was not home!

To climb up the ivy was useless - where to run free? Because the whole country was just a white sea!
But all of the sudden, the beauty screamed: victory! A small shovel seemed more precious than all jewelry!

 

She rapidly uncovered the house - going through snow like through cheese a little mouse! Upon the prince's return there was nothing more to say, because a new shovel was indeed the best gift for this Valentine's Day!

My World.

into the blue

Sunday blues. No, I don't mean blue as in sadness, I mean the many shades of beautiful blue around: the sky, the air, the snow. Blue as in relaxing, blue as in a sunny day, blue as in the wide horizon of a free day's freedom .

Grinch and the Christkindlmarkt

 Yesterday I took the Grinch to the Christmas Market in front of the Viennese City-hall. I tried to offer the Grinch some Punsch or Glühwein, some Langos or some sweets. No way! Slightly annoyed, the Grinch complained about the high prices, but also about the fact that some of the huts are offering the same products like last year. The wind was also on the list, as well as the cold.

 It was only the snow that saved the day from the Grinch, and the Grinch from himself. With a sigh he admitted that the Advent is a beautiful season.

back from holidays

Although a little bit late, Happy New Year, everyone! I am back already for a week, but in the meantime we had to do some more stuff for the house, of course. But I suppose we are kind of ok now, we have all the furniture in, still no carpets, but ok, who needs them :)?!We had no snow for Christmas or New Year, but we had some yesterday. Before I start showing you Austria in snowless winter, here is the dog & cat fun in the white wonder yesterday! My dogs love the snow, the cat was a little bit reluctant!Have a great weekend!

next to Cheile Dambovicioarei

A wonderful long weekend, at the beginning of December. With snow in the mountains :)!

drive thru

To the much despair of Herr Ratze :), we are still driving through snow-land. From Poiana Brasov, to go back to Bucharest, you can take the road via Sinaia, or via Cheia. We chose Cheia, since it's not so crowded.

In the meantime, they announced 15 C for today (initially 17, but oh, well, meteorologists...).

Have a great Saturday!

Poiana Brasov

First of all, thank you for all good words! Leena was right: if they count for medicine than I am starting to feel better! Of course, still blowing nose, caughing & Co, but way better. For the weekend, since we had some stuff to celebrate, I took my better half and the flu along to Poiana Brasov. Mr. S. spent the day in the gym, I in the sauna (in a marvelous minty aroma). I tried to swim, but since I couldn't breath, that was not possible. The water seemed terribly cold, too. So after sauna, I just slept next to the pool.

Here is how the snow outside (yeah, I know, I am tired of white too...) looked from the window of our hotel.

Bucharest is not the most beautiful city. But even in ugliness, nature provided beauty...

Enjoy your Saturday!

PS: woke up in a mess: our cat destroyed a flower pot (a plant that lives in mud). Mud on the carpet, mud on the walls. The cat was muddy to the tail, but happy. We were muddy to the tail too, but totally angry. We washed it with some coffee. The anger, not the cat :).
