We baked a German quince cook for Sunday. It was very good.
Für Sonntag haben wir einen Quittenkuchen gebacken. Er war sehr lecker.
It does look like fall now! (ballet drive today)
Jetzt sieht es schon wie Herbst aus! (Ballettfahrt heute)

Flora is on the left. I took this picture today, when I waited for the girls to finish dancing.
Flora ist links. Das habe ich heute fotografiert, als ich auf die Mädchen gewartet habe.

I hope to write more about our homeschool again soon. We have been doing neat science experiments and are reading great books.
Hoffentlich schreibe ich dann auch endlich wieder mehr über unsere Schule hier zu Hause. Flora und ich machen schicke Experiment in Physik (Technologie) und wir alle lesen schöne Bücher.
Miriam went to the March for Life in Vienna with her fellow students. They had a brass band playing. I guess you cannot do any event without a brass band in Austria. Jonathan went to the Red Mass in Boston and Charlotte danced in Cinderella.
Miriam war beim Marsch fürs Leben in Wien mit ihren Kommilitonen. Es gab so gar eine Kapelle, die Marschmusik gespielt hat. Ohne die geht es in Österreich vielleicht nicht. Jonathan war bei der Roten Messe in Boston, die für Juristen ist und Jonathan hat in Cinderella getanzt.

Lovely photos of Charlotte 🩷. Miriam looks like she has settled in nicely and Veronika and Flora are no doubt in the throes of nutcracker rehearsals - the year has certainly sped by xx
ReplyDeleteThanks, San! Yes, Miriam is doing well. She has spotted two hedgehogs and is very happy about that. (The do not exist in the U.S.) Yes, rehearsals have started. Hard to believe that Christmas is not that far off anymore.
DeleteSo fun to see the ballet photos . . including Charlotte :) and your quince cake looks delicious. Your trees are turning! It was cold here today also!
ReplyDeleteCharlotte does not have me to take pictures of her anymore, so I am glad to get something from her. The cake was really yummy. Yes, all of a sudden it is cold and looks like fall. We have a frost advisory for tonight!
DeleteDid you end up getting some frost?
DeleteYes, but the girls had covered all sensitive plants (or took them inside) so that nothing happened to them.
DeleteOh, good! I remember my mom taking her geranium plants in from the outside window boxes and replanting them into individual pots for her indoor windowsills. Then she would always move the plants down onto the floor for the cold winter nights! I remember finding frost on the windows in the morning and the sun slowly melting it onto the sill (these windows faced south). We would often have to mop up the water with a towel. Winters seemed colder in those years. I think this area is warmer now.
DeleteOh, my mother used to do that too, but she put them into the basement. I do think it has gotten warmer, but I also think that window panes are thicker now. We used to have frost on our windows when I was growing up and we do get frost here, but our windows here are old and not good.
DeleteOh, that's interesting about the window panes . . yes, maybe. Our windows seem pretty thin too . . our building's insulation could be better!
DeleteOur insulation is horrible! It gets so cold in the winter and quite hot in the summer. And it is quite drafty.
DeleteAnd your winters are so cold!
DeleteDon't remind me . . .
