Good morning,
it's friday again - time for joining
with Tanya's Willy Nilly Friday Five and

Cannot believe, how the time flies away.
The grain is ripening and many plants already carry seeds.
Deep in summertime....

Last monday I turned 57 and a half year.
Maybe, it's crazy, but we celebrate this day more than my birthday.

My birthday is in such cold grey time of the year, when nothing beautiful is to see around.
That made me sad in my childhood often (I grew up in a world of sparseness without
all the colorful Chistmas decorations, delights and lights, as my have them today)
and I have envied the children, who had summer birthdays
and could celebrate it in the garden between roses...
I've so much wished a summer birthday party all my childhood long!

Remembering of this, my love and I celebrate my half-birthday every year.

After a rainy morning we had a wonderful time in a monastery garden
(Kloster Michaelstein by Blankenburg).
It's today a place for concerts, a museum of musical instruments
and a marvellous public garden.
It's the best place, what we know here in our area (what we can reach with a bus)
and a real spiritual energy place.
The monks of past were knowing, where build there monasteries.
We had a wonderful day and did not notice how hours flew
between fragrant plants and bee humming...
V
Outside of the monastery I found a stone at our way
and took it with me as a souvenir.
It's my Michael-stone now (the monastery is named of the archangel Michael)
and may remind me of this wonderful day.
Remind me more often to be there...
Have a wonderful weekend
