Yellow Indian Summer

Last week, we had some exceptional warm fall days with up to 22 degrees. I was told this was due to a hurricane in Britain, that somehow pushed all the warmth our way. I will not complain, as I was already starting to get a little case of the blues now that we can't spend as much time outside.

Even though I love fall, I think we can all agree, that autumn is just nicer when the sun is shining. My usual nap-trip in the cemetery was a walk through rain of bright yellow leaves. Such a beautiful sight. I was thinking about how gathering all of these leaves must seem like an endless task for the people working there, but as soon as it starts raining they will turn into mud, so better remove them.

On days like this, I know why fall is my preferred season.

Fall Heaven

The city has been filled with so many great colors and a clear blue sky lately. It has been a bit of a fall paradise. These pictures are a few weeks old, and already now everything looks a bit more dull. It is still surprisingly warm and I enjoy that I still don't have to use my winter coat.I hope you have been enjoying all the many colors as well.

Have a great weekend.

A trip to Lichtenberg!

We used our Sunday to go to Lichtenberg, where it seems that the fall is so much more colorful than around where we live. I had actually begun to fell a bit depressed about fall, since its colours has been quite monotone this year. It was a beautiful weather, and despite the fact that the air was pretty fresh, the sun kept us warm while sitting in the park. Though in the end we were happy to return home for a cup of tea.

Fall!

More and more leaves are falling form the trees and there soon won't be any more left. Most of the days are a bit grey right now, so much that the light needs to be turned on inside throughout the day. Therefore I enjoy especially whenever the sun shines and makes everything luminous.

Indian Summer!

So we had our fair share of Indian summer here in Berlin, it is definately moving towards fall, but the days have been warm and luckily there has been many occations to spend some outside. I can't wait for all the beautiful fall colors to really kick in. 

I had a couple of visitors coming from London. First Marie was in town and I met up with her a few times for coffee and gossip. Since Ed stayed with us for a week while working on an exhibition here. Currently the only visitor we have is the cat, and he will, like summer, be gone soon enough.

Amazing Hof!

It was not only the inside of Mellies apartment that was fantastic, also the courtyard was a beautiful, old and charming spot, that reminded me of something from a movie.
I loved the yellow tiles on the ground and the paint on the walls and all the little plants that people had put outside their doors.
Amazing to walk out to a scene like this every morning.
