Vacation

I have just got back from  vacation.  As usual we spent time in  our home in Germany, just on the border with Alsace, France.  I had hoped for better weather, but the first week was very rainy and cold.  The last few days, however, were sunny and warm, just in time for us to leave !  I only stitched on one of the days, because we were finishing up some things in the house, going to wine festivals, and generally sightseeing.  Although I do not want this to turn into a travel blog, I thought you might enjoy some photos.  I love the style of houses in this region, so here is a selection of Southern Wine Route homes and Alsatian ones.

























And just for luck, some lavender stuck in our old barn door.

Liebe Heather, ich mag diese schönen Fachwerkhäuser in der Pfalz und im Elsass auch total gerne!
Anscheinend habt Ihr für Euren Deutschland-Aufenthalt genau die Zeit mit dem schlechtesten Wetter erwischt, es war ja so kalt und ungemütlich in den letzten Wochen!
Seit ein paar Tagen ist es nun endlich Sommer, und ich hoffe, das schöne Wetter bleibt uns noch ein bißchen erhalten!
Falls Du bei einem Deiner nächsten Deutschland-Besuche auch mal ins Rhein-Main-Gebiet (Mainz, Wiesbaden, Frankfurt oder so) kommst, würde ich mich sehr freuen, wenn Du Dich mal melden würdest. Vielleicht können wir uns ja mal treffen!?
Liebe Grüße nach Florida, Monika
