Your pictures are just great. I love the tiny yet bountiful gardens and all the lovely stonework.

Wish I could do it more often. Have all 4 generations of your Florida family lived in Lakeland?<br /><br />Hi Janice- Yes, Germany is very clean and orderly. It's amazing considering how old these towns and buildings are. The people are very neat and meticulous. <br /><br />Hi Lynn - Genealogy is a relatively new interest for me but it is consuming me. I've had good luck tracing my father's side back to Canada and France. I hope to visit Quebec and Montreal to stand on the land that my ancestors once farmed. <br /><br />Hi Lynda - thank you for your kind words. <br /><br />Hi Gone Tropical - yes, the Germans are very neat and I have seen many old ladies sweeping their front steps.

I love how they utilize every inch of space to garden and it's so amazing all they can pack into the front of a building! I loved every part of this post. It's also fun doing geneology - it's so interesting to do the research.

So nice that you got to visit your Mom's hometown. I enjoyed every photo, and every garden. I can totally see us doing exactly what the whimsical gardener did with their space - they certainly made the most of that tiny area. It was all beautiful, so thanks for sharing. _Janice Janicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14873027334652949566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18126294.post-32828116173926120782016-08-08T04:45:47.103-07:002016-08-08T04:45:47.103-07:00Just when I thought your travels (and photos) coul...Just when I thought your travels (and photos) could not get any better . . . .<br /><br />How wonderful to be able to go back and visit your Mother's hometown. I'm a fourth generation Floridian ~ so I don't have to travel far. :-)<br /><br />Love your focus on the gardens - made Germany look welcoming and cozy. Two adjectives I typically wouldn't think of when I think of Germany. <br /><br />Stunning as usual.
