You might think this is a field of dandelions but actually there are fields of these flowers all over Germany. We have been told the flower is used to make some sort of oil, even in perfume. It just is such a beautiful sight over the rolling hills. This is one of the reasons both of us have had some allergie problems. The blossoms on the trees are so beautiful. These purple flowers are wysteria and grow around the building here. They must love the rain and the humidity. We haven't had a lot of sunny days but it is getting warmer. April has been just beautiful. We see all kinds of flowering trees from our balcony.

On our way to the Zone Conferences we get a chance to enjoy the countryside and all it's beauty.

This picture was taken at Eastertime. Lots of pink and white blossoms. A lot of the cars are covered with the yellow dust that is in the air from the pollen. This is a great time of year to be here in Frankfurt. The beauty far outweighs the sneezing and itchy eyes.


Garth and Cortney came for a visit in April. We sure had a lot of fun with them. It was great to see family and have them in our home for a few days.
