Our Assistant Gardener

It's now more than ten days ago that I've promised you to show these beautiful moments, well here they come.

Sorry that it took so long, but at the moment I'm also working on Pipke's full life story and it takes much more time than I could estimate.

It's not that I had planned to write something down in a hurry, but after I've read the story of: Wesley the Owl by Stacey O'Brien, I discovered that the part of her full life story that I had written so far was not good enough.

Stacey wrote her story much more detailed. What I had written was in fact rather a superficial story.

Thus: I started again, (for the second time) I adjusted what I had already written, and also supplemented it, and now the story “grows”, it becomes almost a book.

I have to do much research to find the exact dates that the events took place because I want it to be correct.

I am also trying to gather as much pictures and film images to supplement the story and it's a real joy to do that.

In fact, we have so many images to “substantiate” her story that it becomes almost like you are looking at a movie, a non fiction movie.

This is a truth story, and the images will show – that I am fantasizing not one element in her story.

I promise you: adventure in the wild world – labor – laughter – tense and tender moments – explosions – love – sensitivity – joy – tragedy and even escape from hell, all ingredients for a “good” book or/and movie.

I am not going to reveal more but be sure, I haven't told you everything, there are still many surprises. (That's for those who've already read my short story on Jen's blog.)

Obvious, there still lacks “the most important" element! To make a book or a movie successful you need also a “good” writer.

The writer is already busy, trying to become better – if she will become “good” – only the future will tell!

If that will not be the case then: at least she has tried it!:)

Meanwhile, imagine – it's a warm sunny day – you're enjoying the sun – and you are sitting in an easy chair in my garden with your feet up high – while my gardener and his assistant do the job!

Doesn't this sound great?:)

Enjoy the images, images of the time that she was still young, joyful and full of energy.

Wasn't she a good assistant gardener and pest controller?

Of course, this is only a small part of the film.She helped my hubby to mow the whole lawn.

Now I am going to write and enjoy myself, and while I am writing down her story I relive the beautiful times.

It seems almost if she is still here!

PS::) I was naughty and only joking in my earlier post! :):)

Of course: it isn't Summer here right now – and it wasn't also 26°C.

Only on these film pictures it was Summer, warm and sunny.

The reality is:

1. It's here late Fall now, and yes - it was raining very heavy and we had really very gusty weather!

2. We only had some problems with the film pictures!

For the U.S readers: Happy Thanksgiving to you all!

Till soon :)
