First day of Spring! Officially!

YEAH, yesterday there was finally the 20.03.2014! Unfortunately today its more like rainy autumn here. So it feels much better that I took advantage of the sun with 20 degrees yesterday, starting my spring-cleaning outside on my loggia-balcony with repoting plants! There was much to do, but it was so great putting my hands into soil and seeing the plants going well. I would love to have a garden...but I am happy with my green, sun and plants on my loggia until I find my garden :D! Do you have yours?

Miss Spring arrived

Three days left, and then we will have her again officially. Miss Spring is coming, although she actually already arrived. Totally differnet compared to last year. 2013 she was late. We had snow and we spent some time in the austrian mountains with snowboarding and enjoying winter nature. But these snap shots here definitely show that she already arrived, and that's good! Here in Germanys erstern part people celebrate carnival pretty hard. I do not, but a special berliner which are sold as a carnival delicacy were also on my table. Mhhhh...time to for baking spring cakes again and time for birds, flowers, seeds and balcony garden! Wish you all a beautiful new springtime 2014! Enjoy as much as you can! yours, M like March!

Februarys last days are sweet and kitchy

February skies, without even one snowflake

What a winter...? How to welcome spring, when there was not even Mr. Winter here?

Non, je ne regrette rien... (Pt. three)

Non, je ne regrette rien... (Pt. two)

The smiling girl in the next-to-last picture was the first friendly person on our way.

Thank you again dear lady!

Non, je ne regrette rien... (Pt. one)

oh Paris! oh Paris! First time, first kiss! It kissed me, although it was a short kiss :D 

It was my first time in the french capital and I was really really impressed and asked myself why it took me so long for visiting this so close country. Maybe because I travelled more east than west and like there are many people in Germany living next door to Poland for example, they never visit their neighbours as well. 

I've travelled some places in France but never did Paris before. Now I know that I will be back! It was not only great like I thought of, but even better. 'Les boulangerie-pâtisserie', the streets, the seine, the architecture, the street musicians, the well dressed people, but especially the friendly, helpful and calm people we had the pleasure to meet! I know that many of you have been there before, or even lived there (like you Anne :D), and I admire you for that and can imagine what a treasure it must be, staying there for a longer time than some days. Here are some of my little moments in this town always as a memory from february 2014. February started super and my breakfest today with a piece of Paris in my german kitchen too!
