Time Flows

What would you guess this could be?
 
 

It’s my new find.

Now you are surely thankful for how nice I’ve explained it.

Yes, I am a truly natural talent in the field of explaining.
 
 

Anyway, I’ve found the pretty thing in this town.

Oh, how I love that place.

And I forever will.

Since my personal history started to form there before I was even born.

How?

Well, my parents happened to meet there.

Besides my personal history, this cute little town is also very famous for its long, successful gold-mining era.

You can feel the history breathing in every street and around every single corner.

And it’s not bad breath.

No, no, no.

Not at all.
 
 

I got astonished when these clay slates appeared in front of one of my eyes.

(The other one was closed because I wasn’t wearing my sunglasses and the sun was too strong.)

These slates depict various parts and milestones of the town history.
 
 

Can you imagine history being shown and taught in any better and more fascinating way?

It’s utterly amazing.

I’d grant the person who’s created these wonderful pieces of art the Nobel Prize.

I so would.
 
 

Can you see the little text snippets?

They were captivating and fun to read.

For a person fighting attention deficit disorder – like me – this is just gorgeous.

A picture and a short text.

The best combination for staying focused.

If only history textbooks were made this way when I was little.

That would have saved me years and years of banging my head against a wall.
 
 

I even got tempted to find out what these Latin mottoes meant.

This one, for example, should be something like: ‘Time flows‘.

If I’m right.

Which I’m not sure.

I wonder how you say ‘Eggnog flows’ in Latin.

Since I’d rather learn that than ‘time flows’.

Anyway, I love when things are user-friendly.

There’s nothing better.

Maybe just that eggnog.

Sorry.
 

The Weekend

The past weekend was wonderful.

All in all, I spent it as usual – maniacally running around and taking pictures of everything that had caught my attention.

First, I inspected some animals really closely.

But then I got confused by who was in fact inspecting whom.

So I rather walked away.
 
 

Then I found Kiran.

I knew I’d visit him again soon.

He turned one year last week.
 
 

Just look how joyous and carefree he can be.
 
 

He is a real mood booster.
 
 

After waving Kiran goodbye, I visited the most beautiful castle on the planet.
 
 

On Sunday we went to see my parents.

I checked what was new in my Mom’s atelier…
 
 

… and I found this gorgeous new painting.

I love it – as always, it’s full of .oobies.
 
 

Then I couldn’t believe my own eyes when Mom showed me these new baskets.

They hadn’t been bought – my Mom’s Dad made them.

Wow!

That was all I could say.
 
 

Meanwhile a storm had come and gone – leaving Mom’s garden even more amazing than before.
 
 

The flowers definitely enjoyed the shower.
 
 

They looked happy and invigorated.
 
 

Oh, and the little cute things with eyes that ‘inhabit’ the garden – their number is growing really fast.

There were so many new that I hadn’t seen before.

This one, for instance, has a very interesting story.

Mom said, she had been feeding this bird all winter and it’s gotten so fat it couldn’t take off and lives in the garden now.
 
 

These guys were hiding behind a flower pot – luckily I found them.

What a gorgeous weekend it was – I hope you had a lovely one too.

Have a superb week y’all.

Love,

Petra
