Arnold Schönberg once stated:
"If it is art it is not for all
and if it is for all it is not art."
...
Well, this is ... for all. ;-)

Wherever I look:

It's autumn.

"Books?
No, thanks!

 

Just no books!

* [For first time visitors]: 
Typo in the title? Nah. It's just that 
I would not let a tiny T spoil an avantgardistic alliteration. 

** I know a little boy who after all has started to love reading! ;-)

Farewell to a wonderful human being

Sometimes words do not come easy to me. Today is one of those days.

As long as dementia does not overtake me, I will not forget today's birthday of mine. Because at 3.00 am (12:00 in Canberra), a service was held for Sue.

Arundhati Roy once wrote about the ‘god of small things’. Sue had an eye for ‘small things’ – in her garden, out and about in her beloved Canberra, close to ‘her’ kangaroos, etc. ...

An admirable woman, intelligent, humorous, warm-hearted, down-to-earth, not a chatterbox.
A woman who would listen to people in need and try to show desperate seekers a way ... Out of the Shadows into the Light.

Glad and thankful I once stumbled’ across her on my friend Andrew's blog, I shall remember Sue as a wonderful human being.

... And I like the idea of her revelling among flowers, cats, kangaroos, and smiling at us. ;-)

Today 533 years ago

The American who was the first to discover Columbus 
made a terrible discovery.

Der Amerikaner, der den Kolumbus zuerst entdeckte,
machte eine böse Entdeckung. [G 183]

Final apple harvest

The pears have by now mutated into juice and jam.

And lots of apples have already become juice and jelly.

Yesterday, the picking of the last tree began.

Enough for more jelly,
in winter one apple a day for the humans,
two or three for the birds,
and now and then an apple cake.
