  1. Good morning!

    Some of you asked where the apple strudel of the Provence post below is. Well, it disappeared under the Provencal Sun! Don't believe me? Well, check it out ->but I am afraid there is not a crumb left!

    Last three days of school before semester break!
    I won't promise, but I am seriously contemplating baking an apple strudel to celebrate, as soon as I have regained some energy!

    Wishing you all a wonderful day,
    cheers,
    Merisi

  6. I love the bold red, the simplicity of the last picture. A flower for Wolfgang, a sweet tribute.

  9. Thank you all for your kind comments!

    We have also a birthday to celebrate in the family,
    our daughter C shares her birthday with Amadeus.
    Her due date was the 25th, but I was so pleased that she showed up two days late! ;-)

    A good night to all of you from Vienna,
    Merisi
