Today we had a gorgeous autumn day with an all over sunny day. Quickly commited yesterday wit a friend, I headed out of the house early and drove to his house and together we headed off to the perhaps last longer push bike trip together this year.

Although sun is still strong and warming, authumn wind does already feel cold and I was quit happy about I had thought to put on my wind breaker. The landscape scenery actually is most beautiful and colored, while the color green is already on it’s way back. Now making room for yellow, red and brown.

Along the countryside roads nearly every farm and shop does offer fruits, new wine and home made onion pies to buy. And seeing all cars and folks on the road it nearly looks like everyone is keep to get his or her piece of it.

In some way it was a little bit surprising seeing so much people out on the road, as for it was election weekend here in Germany and I really doubt all others had already voted like me. Not I personally would be a very political person at all. But I see it as an "obligation" to vote for every responsible adult. But enough of this!

… as more interesting I think is, that on one of the perhaps last really friendly "summer" days this year I decided against the motorbike prefering the pushbike about. And even now feeling a bit tired about I still think about it as the right decision.

Next few weekends will now be filled with work around the house on on the property getting everything in shape for the winter season and especially ready before we will head off into our vacation. This time I feel about it as very much over due and I’m really looking forward to this time off. The and hopefully having a short and sweet 2nd summer this year.

I really couldn’t say that I’m much into this gardening. I curiously really do need the space around with a bit of distance to the neighbors but the coming with work especially at this time of the year is always more a load than anything else.

All the summer I do just the minimum like cutting here and cutting there and mowing the lawn. But with the ending season now things needing to be done seems to be endless … Right at a time when especially this time seems to be short for everything you have to carefully decide about on what you do spend it. :-/

 During the week when they announced sunny conditions I was very happy about with coming over friends having some good excuse not to spend all day out preparing things. Now …hmph … they called having some kind of family crises with a sick family member in hospital. So somehow without my excuse anymore I really ended up with spending nearly all day out working through things.

But today it was finally over with passion. Awaiting the sun coming out and getting warmer, I did spend some time creating a new template and fixing a few issues but the finally I headed out of the house.

And believe it or not! Now being home I do not even have a bad conscience about neglecting all. I only might regret it again in a week or two when I still have to clean the pond nd even need to enter it. Then certainly at a time when it is already cold in it! :-/
