Pentecost/Pfingsten


A cold, but beautiful Pentecost Sunday.  We "went" to church in New York City (St. Patrick's) and in the afternoon took a walk around Moss Lake.

Ein kalter, aber schöner Pfingstsonntag liegt hinter uns.  Wir sind wieder in New York in die St. Patrick Kathedrale "gegangen" und am Nachmittag um den Moos See gewandert.  

 Catfish
Welse







 We are not quite sure what plant this is, maybe pink wild honeysuckle?
Wir wissen nicht genau, welche Pflanze das hier ist.  Vielleicht rosafarbene Heckenkirschen?



 Skunk cabbage
Stinkkohl

 Boardwalk across the bog
Bretterweg durch das Moor

 More Skunk Cabbage?
Mehr Stinkkohl?





 Four little monkeys (monkey five, aka Jonathan was looking for birds)
Vier Äffchen (Affe Nr. 5, auch Jonathan genannt, sah sich gerade nach Vögeln um)



 Hollow tree
Hohler Baum







 Canadian geese
Kanadagänse

Happy Pentecost!
Schöne Pfingsttage!

    1. Thanks so much! We like to go there. I was surprised that we were not the only people there. Parking is difficult, there are just about five parking spots. If you are not careful, your car ends up in the lake.

  2. I remember my dad pitching balls to me when I was Flora's age :) Very American pictures: playing ball on the green grass on a sunny day. With Flora's dress, you could imagine it was days past . . old time baseball :)

    The cookies look very good!

    1. Did you recognize the dress? It was in the last box you sent :). It looks handmade. Peter used to do this with Jonathan (pitching), but the girls have never been interested in baseball. Flora loves to spend time with Jonathan, so the two like to play together. Today, Miriam joined them.

  3. I thought the dress looked a bit familiar, but I couldn't see the print :) Chanda says it's so nice to see Flora wearing it. She and Morgana made the dress with some help from our friends Janet and Camille . . though she also says that she thinks Morgana did most of the work. I'm glad Flora enjoys wearing it! xoxoxo

    1. So nice to hear that the two of them made the dress. It looks good on Flora, I think.

  4. Das sieht nach einem schönen Spaziergang aus. Das Bild von den Kindern im Baum ist witzig. :-)
