Life, if well lived, is long enough. ~Lucius Annaeus Seneca
THIS IS THE OUTSIDE OF MY HEAD
About Me
- Laurie Koning
- Cottbus, Brandenburg, Germany
- It has been determined that I am quiet but not shy. I love the birds and the bees and the flowers and the trees. I'm not so keen on the moon up above but I am in love. I like sentences versus poetry because I find it beautiful to construct complete sentences out of abstract thoughts. Laurie's my name, geology's my game, but you'll also find that I like philosophy, the german language, television, movies, plants, animals, chocolate........

I had just looked yesterday and there were no new pictures and I thought, Laurie, why no new pictures. Then this today.
ReplyDeleteQuite a festival. I thought at first it only seemed to be attracting young people, there for an opportunity to get drunk. Then in a few other pictures, I actually saw a gray or bald head or two. Just mostly a younger crowd.
I like the view from your bedroom window better than it would have been if you'd had the front bedroom, with the view of the street out front and the greenhouse across the street. I like the greenery and peacefulness of it.
The poor church bird. I saw a dead robin on Hugo about a week ago too. I wondered about West Nile virus, but there isn't any West Nile in Germany, is there?
