Als die Königin von ihrer Ärztin kommt, bringt sie sich frische Blumen mit in 

die Burg am Eisenbach.

As the Queen comes from her doctor, she brings herself some fresh flowers into

Körper und Geist verlangen nach Ruhe

Body and mind calls for rest

Das Wetter spielt mit

The weather plays along

Advent | Buddenbrookhaus | Aziza

Die Königin von der Burg am Eisenbach 

zündet die erste Kerze in den rosenförmgen Haltern an. Diese hat ihr ihre Kollegin Lady Kate geschenkt, auf dass die Adventszeit besinnlich werden möge. Zusammen fahren sie am Samstag in die festlich geschmückte Hansestadt Lübeck.

In the Buddenbrookhaus of the Thomas und Heinrich Mann Society

 Der Abend klingt bei leckerem Essen im Adlersaal aus und sie fahren spät zurück.

The evening fades away with delicious food in the Eaglehall and they drive back latish.

 Am Sonntag 

fahren die Königin und ihre ganze Familie zu lieben Freunden, um einen Geburtstag zu feiern. Kurz bevor es dunkelt, geht sie in den Wald. Überall hängen Regenropfen. Es ist still. Nur manchmal löst sich ein Tropfen hie und da und trifft auf, platschend.

At Sunday 

the Queen and her whole family drives to dear friends to celebrate a birthday.

Ere it darkend, she goes into the wood. All over hangs raindrops. It is quiet. Only sometimes sloughs a drop hither and thither and impinge on, plashing.

 Es ist dunkel als sie in die Burg zurückfahren.

Its dark as they returns to the Castle.

Später schmökert sie im Buch und genießt noch Lübecker Marzipan. 

Later she browses through the book and enjoys the Lübecker Marzipan.

This week was very gregarious by now...

 

(This pic tells more, doens't it?)

Zebra, by George Stubbs, 1763

und so... and so...

 Zebra, by youngest Princess... she dicovered the perspective!

und dann wieder so

and then like this again

 Genuss und Pläne...

Pleasure and plans...

 Did you recognized that  Elisabeth's dc theme 'State Of Mind' is moving me?

dc Little Red Riding Hood

 *1

 One of these days even I will tell both of my (red haired) daughters, "My dear daughter, my dear daughter, keep on the straight way, doesn't matter if in the woods or in urban jungle... be attentive of a hungry wolf!"...

 *2

*3

and

 *4

 One of these days I will tell my son, " My dear son, be attentive of little Red Riding Hood!"...

 ♥♥♥

This fairy tale is written down by the Grimm Brothers, Jacob and Wilhelm. The younger brother Ludwig Emil (*2) was a painter in the earliest European artist colony in Hesse, Germany. Later the German painter Otto Ubbelohde lives there, too, and illustrated this fairy (*1) which is orininally from France. Interesting is that the costume of the Schwalm in Hesse for the girls is with a little red hat. This tale could be work as an initiation for young girls when the time comes for their menarge.

 Our host for this week's dc is dear Patrice with, you know it already, no?
 'Little Red Riding Hood'.
As a child reading this fairy tale I felt compassion with both, Little Red Riding Hood and the wolf. I've made this drawing by pencil, red ink and lipstick.

For more Reds please visit dear Patrice's marvellous place. Wish you a happy sunday!
