café au ginkgo

Saturday 16th of November

Somewhere around this November day the ginkgo tree is at its most spectacular! An annual autumn delight!

Every year, over and over again I am cheered by the golden glow in the front garden, but also in the house.

Many outside coffee moments on the terrace at the 'café au ginkgo' this season.

Annual charm of the golden ginkgo in the frontyard.

It's that time of year again.

After a few weeks of golden glow from the ginkgo tree in the frontyard and a stunning kitchen window view, almost all ginkgo leaves have fallen.

So we drink our daily coffee in the front yard on a deep-pile yellow carpet.
And we will leave the leaves for a little while, simply because it's so beautiful.

November joy of nature.

Saturday morning 28th of November

Hello yellow!

We made an appointment to pick up a vintage italian design chair and ended up on this beautiful courtyard covered in a yellow ginkgo glow.

I collected some of the 'fruits' of the Japanese nut tree (which are botanically the seeds, but because the seed coat is fleshy, they look like fruits). The seeds are apricot shaped and when the female seeds fall to the ground in autumn, the fleshy seed coat starts to rot and falls off and smells like rancid butter.

I want to try to grow some mini ginkgo trees.

Annual golden ginkgo glee in the front yard.

November always brings the golden yellow ginkgo confetti delight.

Looking through the kitchen window and having a morning coffee in the front yard on sunny days like this...

Enjoy the little things in life!

coffee & vitamin d

Friday morning in November.

Coffee & vitamin D in the frontyard.

The entire garden, including furniture, is covered by golden ginkgo leaves. What splendor! Nature does the best designs of all.

Cheers to the weekend.
