No Blue Flowers, but...

...some shots of another mountain and a stream valley where we got out in the warm weather today.

And wouldn't you know there was an Italian restaurant with an all you can eat buffet waiting for us at exactly lunch time and, as chance would have it, precisely at the end of the street Detlef once lived on!
The photos are a poor excuse, because things are growing by the second here now that it's finally become securely warm. The leaves on the chestnut in front of this window have grown since I sat down at the computer to upload and share these pictures. I swear! Tomorrow they'll be the size of a child's hand. And the forsythia is bursting into bloom branch by branch and hour by hour in the garden out back.

Yes, it IS SPRING!
