tuut

First lunch on the porch, this year :-) First try to get a some colour on the legs. Nikis efforts to get the front lawn snow free Millions of crocus flowers popped out of the earth today, on our fields and lawn. It was the first really warm and sunny day this spring. Hurrah! Towmorrow is my first day in the beekeeper school. Have to pack my schoolbag, then off to bed :-) T.

It seems..... At least it's raining, instead of snowing, since yesterday. The front lawn is still to 75% with snow. A thick cover, but if we get the promised sun and higher temperatures you can get get your wellingtons out of the cupboard, in Budapest :-) Skiteaching season ended last sunday. At last! This week I work(ed) 4 afternoons in Wally's Gwand. Coming week I'll attend a beebreeder/honeyproducer seminar in Imst. 0800h - 1700h monday to friday. I had myself tested for beesting allergy last monday. Negative. That's positive! All I know about bees, so far, is that they are striped. And make honey. Yummie. I'm sure it's gonna be interesting. One of the spring projects in here Schmieden 11 is to change to old cow barn into a fancy (cosy) horse stable, as the cows are gone.since last summer. I just love having things renewed, start with new things, and learn new things!!! T.

Yeahhhhhh!!!!! The season is finished. Today. Had the last three lessons today. On Friday we had good afterworkparty. Thought I could start the party at noon, with the boss, but in the morning we got a new reservation - 2 more hours. No problem. But then - finished! I thought...... But the lady wanted to ski on saturday too. And on Sunday. Ok - of course, no problem. Saturday evening the lady cancelled. Yipeee, I have a family sunday - day off! Today, in the middle of breakfast the boss calls: If it would be possible to take 3 more lessons???? Of course..... But NOW - finito :-)))) Yes I now, I have a great job - BUT I'm a spoiled seasonworker and that is what it makes the job so great: it's only for the winter :-))))) Now other tasks are wating for me. Yipppeeeee! T.

The horses wait. We all wait. The roe deers wait; they are hungry - in lack of grass they came to our house and ate all the little tulips trying to make their way out in the sun and warmth close to the front porch. Guess it's easier to feel sorry for our hungry neighbours in the forest, than getting upset because of some lost tulips. Julia brought out some hay-silo. Hope they enjoyed it :-) T.

- 13° C this morning. Brrrrr. But it looks nice, doesn't it!? Julia and Niki went skiing, Emil and I went to work - but in the end, we spent the day on the same mountain :-) T
