My Sequoia Tree Project (2)

After almost three months have past, it is time for an update on my Sequoia Tree project.
At the end of May I had been able to proudly present eventually 13 Sequoia tree seedlings in my pot. Then I went on vacation...Uli was afraid of not watering enough and drowned most of them. Only one single seedling has survived. Nevertheless, this one seems to be a strong one after all. I really do hope it will make it through the currently extremely high temperatures in our area!

A Trip To Germany

In June 2006, I went back home to Germany - to eventually see my family and friends. The timing was perfect, for the fact with our (including my husband) arrival the high "Ulrich" arrived as well, and the 2006 Soccer World Championships hosted by Germany started. This entailed the weather was gorgeous, everybody's mood and motivation was overwhelming; people were extremely friendly and hospitably...which I haven't seen after all the drawbacks of last years' economical changes and adjustments. All the positive concomitants made this journey an even more memorable event.

While Germany was infected by soccer fever, we traveled through the country to see as many loved ones as possible. The road trip started off in Frankfurt, to Wolfratshausen/Bavaria, Alsfeld/Hessen, over Heßloh and Detmold/NRW, and Hannover to finally end in Burgdorf/Niedersachsen. A huge Thank You to all of you for your generous hospitality. Leaving was very difficult and sad as always; gnawing homesickness will escort me for a while...
