Miss Doodle's Summerdays - the old shed




The Little darling Spring has run away
The sunshine grew too hot for her to stay
She kissed her sister, Summer,and she said
"When I am gone, you must be queen instead"
Now reigns the Lady Summer, round whose feet
A thousand fairies flock with blossoms sweet.

Petit printemps chéri s'est enfui.

Le soleil est devenu trop chaud pour lui.
Il embrassa sa sœur l'Eté, et lui dit :
"Quand je serai parti, vous serez reine à ma place"
C'est le règne de Dame Eté maintenant

Et danse à ses pieds une ronde de mille fées
coiffées de jolies fleurs sucrées.

Rapunzel Rapunzel, let down your hair

Miss Doodle has spent some time at a lovely place. Do you know the Grimm brothers' fairytale "Rapunzel"?
If you don't, you can read it here
This is the "tower" Otto Ubbelohde, the painter who illustrated the Grimm's fairy tales, used for his illustration of the Rapunzel tale. It is located in the "Marburger Land" in Hessen, Germany.

Still taking time...

......to dream!

(note from the secretary: this image was drawn in the Parisian metro line n° 6, which is partly running not in a tunnel but on the surface, high above the river Seine and the roads nearby. It is a wonderful ride but a very bumpy one, don't know why, much bumpier than the line n° 9 which we take every day...)

Anmerkung der Sekretärin: Dieses Bild wurde in der Metrolinie N° 6 gezeichnet, die teilweise nicht im Tunnel sonder über Land verlaeuft, hoch über der Seine. Eine wunderbare Aussicht hat man da, aber die Strecke ist irgendwie besonders ruckelig! Ruckeliger (gibt's das Wort?) als die N° 9 die wir sonst jeden Tag nutzen.

February 16th, 2008 - Miss Doodle's Sunny Saturday

Miss Doodle loves Saturdays. Relax from the busy week, take a long shower, splashing water on the cat who loves it, offer herself a bunch of beautiful yellow and red tulips, paint a tree and listen to the birds.
