Werner Ulrich's Home Page: Picture of the Month
Now "Ulrich's Bimonthly"
August 2005
Summer
at
home
August is the month
when our kitchen window offers that nice view of the hay drying
on the field nearby, with my wife's flower pots on our north
terrace providing a romantic foreground. It's vacation time, many people are away on holidays. A
good time to stay at home and enjoy the tranquility of
our garden. Summer greetings from home!

In the summer time ... The neighborhood is quiet, most of the people are gone. We stay at home and enjoy it. Staying at home in this vacation time par excellence not only makes sense because this is when it's most beautiful at home, it is also eminently practical because you avoid the heavy holiday traffic and the masses of tourists in all the nice places of the world. And as a special treat, you don't need to write all those holiday postcards! So, my conclusion is this:
(Sorry you probably can't see me in the armchair – just got out of it to take the picture.)

Summer greetings from home For those who absolutely want to receive a holiday postcard from me, I have designed one below. The motto is "summer window, or tranquility of mind." Sorry I haven't quite finished it, I'm too lazy! (Give me a break, will you?)
