Spring is in the air!  Looking at Eileen`s shivering dog, I thought I should send you a weather and garden report from Germany. While China and other parts of the world are suffering from extremely cold weather and heavy snow, we have another very mild winter.

Look at the picture of the Gertrude Jekyll rose in January! We have never seen a rose blossoming in January, but this winter everything is possible and this rose has never stopped blossoming since May last year!

We love watching the growth of our first spring flowers in the garden, which are already in bloom.

We can even sit in front of our house in warm sweaters and enjoy the sunshine and the arrival of spring.  Here I am with grandchildren Samy and Lilly posing for Opa Dieter!
