The smell of freshly mowed grass, a lingering sweetness in the air, mixed with the smoky scent of grilling meats on white-hot coals. Lovely flowers coming up everywhere, adding colour to the greenery.
It's nice to have sweet friends who'd buy you a magnum ice-cream when they know you're feeling lousy. The weather was lovely last Sat but after travelling down to town to pick up my bike, we found that it had a flat back tyre so the bike trip to the lake that I've been so looking forward to was once again postponed. I was so disappointed (here was where my ice-cream treat came in). Instead went for a short walk in the forest, sat amongst the flowers and read. Then my friend introduced me to Bärlauch (wild garlic, so amazing to know that there are leaves that smell like garlic!) growing abundantly in the forest. We picked a small bagful and made pesto with it (olive oil, walnuts, parmesan, lemon juice) which turned out wonderful!
The wild garlic (the green leaves)
The finished pesto, so green and pretty!
On Wed, a friend who had a small portable grill organised a bbq at the island in the middle of the Neckar river. It was so lovely!
Helped me feel better. Thanks everyone, for your encouragements!
