Grandmother's garden

Frau Stoll, the grandmother of my husband is a very special person. I already wrote about her once before. This weekend, as we head torward Lugano, we stopped by at her holiday house!

Upon we arrived, aunt Erika treated us with tea and amusuments. We arrived late so I didn't see a lot on that day.

On the next day, I was surprised by the beauty of it's surronding! It was the day with full of sunshine! First thing we've done was swimming in the pool:)

Upon we went up in the living room, Frau Stoll was there with a warm smile as usual. Aunt Erica prepared such a nice breakfast.

Garden is beautiful but in behind, there is always an effort of gardener. Without being taken care, it will be soon a jungle!
But with many affection and good care, it will grow as a fruitful one and gives you lots of reward.

For me, fruits and vegetables are always something from supermarket but in garden, they look different. More shining and more beautiful! There vitamins are double than that from supermarket. With sufficient sunshine of Tessin, I also able to absorb many power!
