Hey Boy Pants.

Hey Boy Pants.

Loud drums and pot-banging interrupted my work.

Outside, kids, taking over the streets, protesting dog shit.

Wir protestieren
auf allen Vieren
die Kacke muss weg!

My balcony is in a sad state.  I was shocked when I walked out there for the first time (in over half a year) last weekend.  Even tough it’s part of my apartment, it feels like a foreign place.  An ashtray piled high, dead and brown plants, half-empty Kasten of beer, faded garden decorations.  I wish my friends who go out there to smoke would have told me about it, I would have tried to make it a little more hospitable.

And the snow: enough! 

Soon I will be able to restore my balcony.  I will take care of my lettuce, herbs, strawberries, chilies, drink my sun tea, read in my lounge chair, and in my heart I will forget that this never-ending winter ever existed. (until the next one rolls around)

The days are finally warmer and lighter here.

More snow.  Despite myself, I got excited this morning.  Hope it sticks around for my 35k hike through the Brandenburg forest tomorrow!
