These pictures were taken yesterday afternoon while walking the dogs. The sun low above the cane and the frozen lake, where ice-skaters are having fun:
And two pictures of Chimay and Ari, I could not take more pictures, my fingers were freezing!

January 2012
I can't believe we are almost at the end of January 2012 and I haven't posted this year yet!
Chimay and Ari are doing great together, they play nearly every day together in the garden.
Ari tired after playing
Last week Frank and Chimay went away for a week to a holliday-parc in Limburg. Marcel, a friend of ours, came here to paint all wood downstairs (doors, window frames). When Marcel painted outside last year, Frank got sick from the smell of the paint, so we thought it would be better if he was not around when Marcel painted ;-)
The result is great, instead of a somewhat depressing beige shade, it all is now light green.
The entrance
The hall has new wallpaper and we pimped the radiators of the central heating, a blue cover in the hall
Our little angel watches over us, for more than 30 years.
A dark pink cover in the kitchen.
And the first snowdrops are nearly blooming.

last day of 2011
My last post in 2011, I will end the year with pictures of Frank, Chimay and Ari.
I am glad this year is almost over, it was not a good year with Eoos' death and my healthproblems.
So I hope 2012 will be kinder to us.
Wishing all readers a happy and healthy 2012!

Christmas time ...
... inside
This year I took the Chistmas decorations out, the last two years I was too tired to decorate the house.
In the kitchen the dracaena is upgraded to Christmas-tree
and one of the decorations is the Christmas-Chow I got ten years back from an American friend.
In the window a poinsettia, with Ampelmännchen-lights, a souvenir from our trip to Berlin in 1998.
The red Ampelmännchen
and the green Ampelmännchen.
The big faucet in the kitchen carries glass Chrismasbells, they jingle when we get some water.
... outside
As long as it is not freezing the rose "Schneewitchen" (also known as "Iceberg") keeps blooming...
And the Prunus Subhirtella "Autumnalis Rosea" started blooming, I love to have a tree that blossoms in winter!
Another nice picture of the Prunus Subhirtella "Autumnalis Rosea".
And Ari was wondering what I was doing in the garden...
the camera should be poited at HIM!

Marco took some wonderfull pictures:

France november 2011
I am not in the mood to write a lot, we had a great time in France for three weeks :-)
Below a selection of the pictures I took, we visited churches, monastries, cities. I found out my new camera is good at stained glass pictures (without flash).
