Spring Saturday

[fub]

Yesterday, usmu came over to visit — it had been a while since we had hung out together, and the last time we visited him in Utrecht. We picked him up at the train station and drove to Weurt, a small village at the side of the Waal to the west of Nijmegen. There is an old gravel pit outside of the river dike that is now unmanaged and left as a fishing spot. We walked towards the viewing platform and had a picnic lunch there. Afterwards, we walked along the river around the gravel pit before retiring home for tea and cookies and dinner.



There are wild horses roaming the area, they keep it from overgrowing. They had little foal! As we approached the two were annoying each other, but when we got a bit closer they got curious. The parent kept an eye on us, but we kept an acceptable distance as we passed.



When we returned, it was naptime for the foal. So cute.

The wisteria on our shed is happy it’s spring again — it’s growing and covered in flowers!



We hung a trellis on the side of the shed so it had something to hang on to, we might have to extend that. It makes me happy to see it grow so abundantly.

Pas wel op met die blauwe regen. De takken zijn sterk en kunnen zo je regenpijp of je schuurtje kapot drukken. Als hij zich ergens omheen draait, even ontwikkelen en met een touwtje oid vastzetten. Anders wordt datgene onherroepelijk geplet.

Klopt ja. Nou is ons schuurtje niet zo belangrijk voor ons, maar we zorgen er wel voor dat de ranken een plek hebben om naar toe te groeien!
