andechs monastery
Sunday, 16 March 2008

We decided to do an afternoon visit to a nearby Monastery outside of Munich in Andechs, close enough to take the S-Bahn 5.  Several people had mentioned that it was a local favorite and that alone had us willing to check it out!

We sure have a LOT to learn as this year unfolds.  Today a friend of ours came by to show us how to cut back our two vines and some of the fruit trees.

shooting them vermin!
Wednesday, 05 March 2008

and a very welcome back to Italy to me!


We just discovered a few days ago, that we have a type of vermin making nests in our umbrella pine trees.  From what we have been told the "nests" that are visible near the tops of the trees are somewhat poisonous and we should have them removed.
