Hornbeam Catkins

My mother’s care insurance counselor had scheduled her regular appointment for today, so I needed to be at my mother’s house for a few hours. It didn’t suit me too well, as I have a couple of deadlines coming up, and had to sacrifice my daily walk for an extra hour of work.

Up there in the Taunus hills, nature is a week or two behind the Rhine valley where we are. I liked the fresh green leaves and young catkins on the hornbeam tree in my mother’s garden.

When I came home, I found that P had bought me some of the first locally grown strawberries of the season. Made my day!
