Something strange is going on with Daisy’s front tire. It wears off irregularly and the tire tread is not looking too good anymore. We talked to several specialists, but nobody really seems to know what’s going on. One says it’s…
Beware! The ice is frozen here! :-)
Our last few ‘warm’ days. The landscapes are perfect for long trails and endless walks, watching, enjoying and being amazed… Not only about bigger landscapes, but also little things: the murmur of water below the ice, sunny dots in the…
creaking and squeaking
