Planting at MNS

I donated a lot of my plants to MNS. A pickup load full. I didn’t even know I had that many plants… On my next workday I worked on them with some children – Narnia, Jay and Leilani. We had fun planting, watering weeding and especially picking the herbs














Art and Pretty Things

Leilani’s iPhone Art

Leilani arranged the strawberries and absolutely needed to photograph them

Looks like a pose to me…

Sonja’s art. All made in Photoshop from 16 small blue tile and 6 white ones…

I stopped for the rainbow in Portola, and found 5 Parasol Mushrooms (the shaggy ones, in German Roetende Riesenschirmlinge, aber wirklich riesig) and one Blewit

One of the last CA sunrises…

Playdate with Jay

While we are packing Leilani often gets to visit her friends Jay and Oliver. Here she is eating self-made pizza with Jay

Donner Skiing

We went skiing for the last time. Well, for the last time while we live in California that is.

The weather on Saturday was not that great, but the snow was impressive.


In the evening we went to our Hotel in Reno and had really good Sushi for dinner. All you can eat, kids eat free…

Next morning was clear and beautiful


First Sonja was the instructor, and that went pretty well already.

Then we paid for one private lesson with a real instructor, while we had an hour to ourselves, and that did the trick.


We took Leilani up the medium chairlift a few times, and then with the big one all the way to the top.






In the evening we visited our friends Ana, Jeane and Dave who had skied nearby and were staying with their friends at a cabin.
