THE BRIGHTEST DAY SINCE

we arrived here. It started with an amazing sunrise, that put a red blanket above our heads.
Then we did the necessary purchases for the last day and the first day of the new year.
After lunch Mischa and I set out for a walk. Some deliberations which way we would like to go and we decided to climb first to the Eisenbahnerheim, gave the three horses their carrots and from there climb still higher. We followed a path that goes parallel on the Frau Holle (called Mother Holda in eglish) Weg, and we climbed slowly because we looked up all the time if we saw the bird of prey that we had seen flying away right before us. A fierce climb indeed.
Our path was suddenly blocked by heaps of branches newly cut and we were happy, although stumbling, to find another broad path that we followed the hill down till we reached the high road that brought us back.
In the forest I took the picture of the stump with the mushrooms, probably the Xeromphalina campanella. My little fairy tale moment of the day.

My best wishes for a happy New Year for all my dear blipfriends. May all our pictures be what we wish them to be.

My haiku:

Deep in the forest
Dark and wild tiny mushrooms
Eat on the flat trunk

And the proverb:

A great shoe does not fit a little foot.

1581 in Pettie Guazzo's Civ. Conv.
Agesilaus finding fault (with over emphasis of small matters) said he liked not of that shoemaker, who made a great shoe for a small foot.
