Christmas Shoot for Dani’s Shop

Today we were shooting the invitation cards for my friend Dani´s Christmas event at her store. I really prayed to the weather-god, that it will not going to rain. I checked the weather forecast every hour yesterday. At the end, everything turned out fine, but in the morning it didn’t look too good for us. Michael our lovely neighbor lent us his old Ford pick-up for today and after heavy rain at 10 a.m. we had to dry the complete car with our towels from the bathroom. puh!! But after that, everything was going smooth. During our short break with some banana bread and latte, we even took a picture from both of us, just for fun. and it turned out so nice!

Pumpkin Carving

Normally I am really not into traditions, but every year when it comes to autumn season, and I see all the pumkins on the fields, I need to do three things:
The pumpkin pie, of course! it is already eaten, slurp!
The pumpkin soup, I like it with some cranberries on the side, yummy!
and: carving the pumpkin!

Halloween Pumpkin Decoration

This year’s idea was to create a scenery in the woods with some squirrels and a bambi. Some moss, mushrooms and rosehip. In the end, I was impressed how nice it turned out! too bad, that it is not gonna last for weeks until Halloween.

This Week’s Animal Report

You must know, we love cats! But: we don’t have our own. We say, they have to choose you. But it is allowed to ‚help along‘ a little so we try to attract the neighbourhood cats with some goodies. This does work with the one we call the „Red Cat“, but only up to a certain point. We are not allowed to pet her and she never comes into our home to sit down. This week we had a striking success. She came in and joined a couple of animal friends. Here’s the proof:

Nameless Red Cat with other Animal Friends

The next day around 8.00am in the morning, I was looking sleepy out of the kitchen door. expecting to see, maybe, the „Red Cat“ …but there it was: the friendly Bambi from the forest! Our garden plants seem to be tasty. I was standing there quite long, expecting it to move quick and leave. But no, it took it´s time and finished eating slowly.

Bambi in the Garden

And we wanna attract the birds as well. I found this cute feeding ground in a garden centre in the Netherlands …well, the sign is definetely wrong. We have open for birds 24/7 of course….

Yesterday, we had a copy of Norwegian magazine ROM 123 in the mail which features our house (thanks to Kristine and Stine). I have to say, I can not read one single thing, but the pictures are so nice and the title „Pippi-huset“ referring to Pippi Longstockings speaks for itself.

Pie Season Started

It was raining in the morning and it was cold outside – only like 8°C, Brrr…..the only thing to make the day shiny and bright for me was to walk in the kitchen and preheat the oven. let’s make some pretty pies!

Pie Season Started

There was the cherry pie(which is always great), the chocolate pie (a life safer and yes, it is rich, but also in taste) and of course the pumpkin pie (I saw the ripe pumpkin fields since weeks). I cannot say, which one I like the most, because I love them all! And of course I cannot eat them all up at once alone. So, if you around, come by and check out which one of them you like the most!
