there was not a lot of time this summer left for drawing. but there was lots of time for harvesting apricots in the garden, for baking 'apfelstrudel' on a daily basis and plum cake (if you can pronounce the word, which is 'zwetschgendatschi' your german is perfect! or you try samuel's version 'knatschikuchen'), to take walks through green meadows, to see friends and to wait for the stars to come out and the hedgehog rustle through the grass at night .
