The Hills are Alive...

Stars must be crossing. It’s all happening. First, flew solo bringing in the team both morning AND afternoon. They cooperated beautifully, apart from Gams, that nose-ringed hooligan, who insists on at least one game of ring-around-the-rosie before giving in. Then made first excursion off the mountain in nearly a week, down to the big smoke of Maria Alm where there’s electricity and tables where you can ask for food, they bring it – and take away the dishes after. What a delight! It’s a picturesque village boasting the province’s highest church steeple atop a pretty Baroque church. Returned in time for afternoon duties, enlivened considerably by the surprise appearance of two men in leather pants who came to serenade me and the team with trumpets, zithers -- plus a bouquet of alm roses. Just what a girl needs at the end of the day.

Hi Leslie

Just checked your Blog. Was surprised to realize that the subject “auf der Alm da gibt’s keine Sünde” (1) is not nearly touched (in fact it’s blanked out). It’s a deficit from the point of us male-sex readers …

[“auf der Alm da gibt’s keine Sünde” = on the Alm there is no sin].

At least the hearts at the windows prove that the interpersonal relationships still exist ….

Comment to the Initiation Blues:

a) You look extremely attractive in the Rubber Boots. Wonder what facial expression YOU had, when the nose ringed cow (Gams) looked at you …..
b) Heidi would never give up her Swiss passport. Reason : see (1)

Could imagine, that you confiscated the Pinzgauer (force majeure clause) and extended your activity radius to the whole valley. Think about the unfortunate cows you leave behind.

Keep going Sennerin!!!!
