Thursday goodness

There was first little pumpkin in my vegetable garden inviting me to pick it up. I did and ate half of it yesterday. It is wonderful to see the plants grow and vegetables to ripen. Soon there will be some carrots and also some peas are ripe. The most delicious raspberries are those that are picked from my own garden; no, that's not quite true, the ones from the woods in July are the sweetest!I ordered them on Tuesday and yesterday they were waiting for me already on a window shelf - books! I couldn't believe my eyes but there they were, waiting for me:
  1. Lotta prints - I am rather disappointed at the book but I will keep it anyway. Today the internet is really such a good source of information that a book has to be written really well to be worth buying.
  2. Sternkalender, Ostern 2008-2009 - I buy it every year. I am late this time because I wasn't in any of the bookshops in Austria this spring. It is an excellent brochure, full of information about the planets in our solar system and their constellations. It is written that 20 October this year will be a special day - we will be able to see a harmony in the sky.
  3. The Waldorf Kindergarten Snack Book - I saw this book on one of the blogs and decided to buy it because the title sounded interesting. I have a cook book of Emma Graf which is actually a recipe book - each day is dedicated to one of the seven grains. Each day is connected with a certain color and planet. In the book I received yesterday this is mentioned but obviously one of the kindergartens in the USA follows its own list. Well, you can mix everything up but this is after all almost like Wikipedia - data might be correct but you never know because perhaps nobody made any experiments on that subject. I just wonder if those teachers at that kindergarten follow the wrong order on purpose. (Left: menu from that USA kindergarten, right: the book of Emma Graf)
I woke up at 4 a.m. this morning and was at work by 6 a.m. This means that I will be at home by 2.30 p.m. Can't wait! Have a lovely weekend everyone!

I love the raspberries grown in our yard the best, too. Too bad we're leaving today on a 10-day trip, just when they're at their peak of ripeness. I can only hope that there will be some late fruit in the bunch.
