Landlust - Or the Slow Days of Summer

A couple of days ago,

I received the July/August issue of my favorite German magazine, Landlust.

And I realized that the spring had been so busy for me that I put the two previous issues

in my magazine bin to read later ...

only I never did!

Ramses, my trusty assistant!

So, during these much slower days of summer, which we are both enjoying so much,

I got to read the last three issues of Landlust.

I was in seventh heaven!

And now, with permission by the publisher, I am sharing some of my favorite spreads with you.

As I am looking through the magazines and through my photos,

I realize that what I am drawn to most in that magazine are the photos.

There are recipes, interesting articles, craft how-tos, and so much more,

but it's the photos that really speak to the German in me.

And particularly those of flowers, nature and food.

Of my 25 plus years in the US, only three years did we live in a climate that was similar where I grew up in Germany,

with similar flowers, plants, and fruit and veggies.

Now, seeing photos of gooseberries, red currants and big baskets of strawberries,

give me such a feeling of nostalgia!

As do some of the landscapes that bring back so many memories for me!

So, I hope you'll enjoy these photos with me.

And if you are German-speaking ...

and can get your hands on a copy of Landlust, have a look!

You won't be disappointed!

And with that I wish you a Wednesday filled with what makes you happy!!
