Not-Christmas Lights

Every winter the botanic garden by the Belvedere lights itself up for Christmas, but the show goes on until February. We went in January and there was a lot to see. All of this is within the botanic garden itself.

 

Three Words Down

Lots more words to go, but it's started.

 

Cherries!

Chad, Andreas, and I went cherry picking. Chad liked the new area, but was belligerent to the barn cat. This place had -so many cherries- on every tree. I will be going again next year after I run out of dried cherries, brandied, cherries, cherry pie filling, and frozen cherries.

 

Redone Corners

The olive color looks so much better than the bright orange. And I got some pink done, too.

 

Valentine's Present

This was my Valentine's Day present to Andreas this year. It hangs happily in his office.

 

Amsterdam Airport Food

On our way back to the US we had a loooong layover in Amsterdam and decided to get some breakfast. This was what we had. It was pretty dang expensive, but at least they didn't stint on portions and it tasted decent.

 

Head of a Yellow Frog

I have half a frog now, almost. It's kind of a cute one.
