Look at this fog. It's cleared now, but this was the view first thing this morning. So thick you could cut it- almost a little eerie. It's cleared up now with even a little blue showing through the clouds. Still chilly, but a very nice day!Almost daily, I think we see something new. Something odd or different that we've never seen. I wonder how long it will last or if we'll ever become so used to Germany that we won't even notice these slight differences. Most of the time, they're little. Occasionally they're bigger things. All of them simple reminders that we're living in a foreign country that definitely does things different than we've grown used to. Not good or bad, but different.
The other day, I opened a new carton of eggs to find one brown egg. Just one in the carton of white eggs. Jim is the one who bought them, so he had already seen it when he checked to make sure none were cracked before adding them to his cart. Did they not have enough white eggs? Is this normal? So strange to me.
It's not uncommon to see these covered rolls of something- we're guessing hay- as you drive through the country. Especially where we live out in farm land we're surrounded by fields.
What looks funny {to me} is how they keep their tarps on with these old tires. Guess it's a great way to re-purpose the rubber, but it still seems strange. These Germans are resourceful people.
