Aber viele Eichhörnchenfotos sah ich, &amp;nbsp;die versuchten, das Vogelfutter zu stehlen. Niemand ist vor den Eichhörnchen sicher. Eigentlich mag ich die Eichhörnchen, aber diese &amp;nbsp;buschigen Viecher, haben mir schon viele Probleme bereitet. Eichhörnchen sind sehr klug, flink und besitzen einen sehr beweglichen Körper, sehr anpassungsfähige Füße und unglaubliche Springfähigkeiten. Das erlaubt ihnen, jede meiner Futterstellen zu überfallen und das Vogelfutter zu stehlen.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000;"&gt;Bitte schaut Euch die Fotos an, sie zeigen die lästigen Eichhörnchen, wie sie die Vögel verjagen.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-hV2vvZY2954/TsjdYtLX7qI/AAAAAAAAV9M/G_iuu0y_xII/s400/P1150774.JPG" width="307" /&gt;The new Feeder has adjustable weight setting on the spring operated perch closes squirrels access to seed.&amp;nbsp;Durable power coated steel body should prevent any damage by squirrels. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-g32fgYWrdEo/TsjgAvKeRGI/AAAAAAAAV-Y/PpnB49KMDXU/s1600/%255B10_29_11%255D%255B09_35_10%255D%255BMaxthon+Shot%255D.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-g32fgYWrdEo/TsjgAvKeRGI/AAAAAAAAV-Y/PpnB49KMDXU/s1600/%255B10_29_11%255D%255B09_35_10%255D%255BMaxthon+Shot%255D.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000;"&gt;Das neue Futterhaus hat eine verstellbare Federgewichtseinstellung, die durch die Sitzstange bedient wird.

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;A few days ago I found this bug in our house.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;After taking a picture and some research I was&amp;nbsp;able&amp;nbsp;to identify this bug as&amp;nbsp;Western Conifer Seed Bug (Leptoglossus occidentalis).&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;This species is called "the leaf-footed bug", and related genera of the Coreidae.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;The bug likes to invade homes in September or October to search for a warm winter home. Does not harm people or pets.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;It was originally native to the warm-temperate western USA&amp;nbsp;(California, Oregon and Nevada),&amp;nbsp;but has in recent times expanded its range and become an invasive species in parts of Canada and Europe.&lt;br /&gt;**********&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000;"&gt;Vor ein paar Tagen fand ich dieses Insekt in unserem Haus.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000;"&gt;Nachdem ich ein Foto gemacht und nachgeforscht habe, stellte ich fest , dass es sich um&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000;"&gt;eine Amerikanische Kiefern-&amp;nbsp;oder&amp;nbsp;Zapfenwanze&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;(&lt;i&gt;Leptoglossus occidentalis&lt;/i&gt;) handelte.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000;"&gt;Die Kiefernwanze sucht im September oder Oktober, nach einem warmen Winterquartier,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000;"&gt;in Häusern. Stellt keine Gefahr für Menschen oder Tiere dar.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000;"&gt;Die &lt;b&gt;Amerikanische Kiefern-&lt;/b&gt; oder &lt;b&gt;Zapfenwanze&lt;/b&gt; (&lt;i&gt;Leptoglossus occidentalis&lt;/i&gt;) ist eine Wanze aus der Familie der Randwanzen (Coreidae). Das ursprüngliche Verbreitungsgebiet umfasst den Westen Nordamerikas, (Kalifornien, Oregon und Nevada). Kann aber jetzt&amp;nbsp;an der Ostküste der USA und Kanada, sowie in Europa nachgewiesen werden.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Need more info?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_conifer_seed_bug"&gt;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_conifer_seed_bug&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amerikanische_Kiefernwanze"&gt;http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amerikanische_Kiefernwanze&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="clear: both;

It grows to 3–4 m long, with pinnate leaves 8–15 cm long with 5–7 leaflets. The flowers are red-brown to purple, produced in dense racemes.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;The fruit is a legume (pod) 6–12 cm long.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;The tubers are crunchy and nutritious, with a high content of starch and especially protein.

The generic name honours &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Reverend Adam Buddle&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; (1662–1715), who was a botanist and a rector in Essex, England but could never have seen a plant of the genus. It is now included in the figwort family, Scrophulariaceae, though in the past was previously classified in either the Loganiaceae or in a family of its own, the Buddlejaceae.&lt;br /&gt;*************&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Die Sommerflieder (Buddleja) auch Schmetterlingsflieder genannt, sind eine Pflanzengattung in der Familie der Braunwurzgewächse (Scrophulariaceae). Die bekannteste Art der Gattung ist Schmetterlingsflieder (Buddleja davidii), seine Sorten sind in den gemäßigten Gebieten verbreitete Zierpflanzen für Parks und Gärten. Die Gattung wurde vom schwedischen Botaniker&lt;strong&gt; Carl von Linné 1753&lt;/strong&gt; aufgestellt. Mit der Namenswahl &lt;strong&gt;Buddleja &lt;/strong&gt;wurde der &lt;strong&gt;englische Botaniker Adam Buddle&lt;/strong&gt; (1660–1715) geehrt.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-tkOXZ5wteOM/Tj5OzXT-DII/AAAAAAAAUq8/p6XEbA04RCs/s1600/Recently%2BUpdated24.jpg"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" height="400px" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-tkOXZ5wteOM/Tj5OzXT-DII/AAAAAAAAUq8/p6XEbA04RCs/s640/Recently%2BUpdated24.jpg" width="640px" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt;Asclepias tuberosa is a species of milkweed native to eastern North America. It is a perennial plant growing to 0.3-1 m (1 -3 feet) tall, with clustered orange or yellow flowers from early summer to early fall. The leaves are spirally arranged, lanceolate, 5-12 cm long and 2-3 cm broad.&lt;br /&gt;It is commonly known as Butterfly Weed because of the butterflies that are attracted to the plant by its color and its copious production of nectar. It is also the larval food plant of the Queen &lt;br /&gt;(Danaus gilippus)&amp;nbsp;and Monarch butterflies .

Now the beetle has been found&amp;nbsp;in Guildwood as well. The infestation poses a major economic and environmental threat to urban and forested areas. The cost of removing infested trees is quite substantial and a financial burden to many home owners. What can be done to save our trees?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have found excellent websites about the Emerald Ash-borer includes advise&amp;nbsp;about insectizide options for protecting Ash trees:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.emeraldashborer.info/index.cfm"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #cc0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;http://www.emeraldashborer.info/index.cfm&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;This Web site is part of a multinational effort in Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland, Minnesota, Missouri, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Ontario and Quebec to bring you the latest information about emerald ash borer. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;City of Toronto, Ontario&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.toronto.ca/trees/eab.htm"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #cc0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;http://www.toronto.ca/trees/eab.htm&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;The City of London, Ontario published this identificatonguide:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: #cc0000;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.london.ca/Trees_Lawns_and_Gardens/PDFs/EAB_identificationguide.pdf"&gt;http://www.london.ca/Trees_Lawns_and_Gardens/PDFs/EAB_identificationguide.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-uPgvNyHq6ho/TjEfIiUrVMI/AAAAAAAAUhs/Y7TtY2WRzJ8/s1600/2011-07-19+emerald+ashborer.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400px" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-uPgvNyHq6ho/TjEfIiUrVMI/AAAAAAAAUhs/Y7TtY2WRzJ8/s640/2011-07-19+emerald+ashborer.jpg" t$="true" width="640px" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Collage shows the exit holes made by Emerald Ash-borer on one of the ash trees in our neighbourhood. &lt;br /&gt;Recently the beetle was spotted on our porch. &lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-1MiTbozgaiU/TjJ9fOkaLmI/AAAAAAAAUjg/O0CYElpU9y0/s1600/%255B07_29_11%255D%255B05_14_06%255D%255BMaxthon+Shot%255D.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="408px" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-1MiTbozgaiU/TjJ9fOkaLmI/AAAAAAAAUjg/O0CYElpU9y0/s640/%255B07_29_11%255D%255B05_14_06%255D%255BMaxthon+Shot%255D.jpg" t$="true" width="640px" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #cc0000;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Red-headed Ashborer﻿&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #cc0000;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Neoclytus acuminatus&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-1LCv6ELbzCY/Ti9ly17HxhI/AAAAAAAAUds/RpyoTmdEibw/s1600/2011-06-13+lilac1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400px" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-1LCv6ELbzCY/Ti9ly17HxhI/AAAAAAAAUds/RpyoTmdEibw/s640/2011-06-13+lilac1.jpg" t$="true" width="640px" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;We park our car quite often close to a very large and old ash tree in front of our house. &lt;br /&gt;The tree is about 60 -70 years old and showed some decline during the past 15 years. &lt;br /&gt;Dry branches have been removed or broken off. &lt;br /&gt;One day we found an very interesting beetle in our car. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After searching for this beetle on the internet I learned that this is indeed a native Ashborer in Ontario. &lt;br /&gt;Now, I have found more signs of the &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Red-headed Ashborer&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;After taking pictures of infested trees in Robert Bateman Park (a.k.a).Kate Gardener Beltline Park, Toronto I received a comment on my Guildwod Village Blog confirming the Red-headed Ashborer.&lt;br /&gt;Both beetles cause the same damage on trees but look totally different.

Als frei zugängliche Korrespondenzbereiche werden die Uferpromenaden an Rhein und Mosel ebenfalls zu hochwertigen Freiflächen umgestaltet. So entsteht hinter dem Schloss eine Sitzstufenanlage, die den Zugang zum Wasser öffnet, und das gesamte Ufer verwandelt sich in eine einladende Flaniermeile. Alle Flächen bieten Raum für viele interessante Themen und Angebote rund um die Bundesgartenschau.

text-align: center;"&gt;The Basilica of St. Castor (German: Basilika St. Kastor or Kastorkirche) is the oldest church in Koblenz in the German state of Rhineland Palatinate. It is located near Deutsches Eck at the confluence of the Rhine and the Moselle.&amp;nbsp;This church is worth seeing for the historical events that have occurred in it, its extensive Romanesque construction and its largely traditional furnishings.&lt;/div&gt;Since 2002, the Basilica of St. Castor has been part of the UNESCO World Heritage cultural landscape of the Upper Middle Rhine Valley. In addition, it is a cultural property protected under the Hague Convention.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;************&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="color: #cc0000;"&gt;Die Basilika St. Kastor (auch: Kastorkirche) ist die älteste Kirche in Koblenz. Sie befindet sich hinter dem Deutschen Eck. Auf dem Vorplatz der Basilika steht der so genannte Kastorbrunnen aus napoleonischer Zeit. Papst Johannes Paul II. hat am 30. Juli 1991 die Kastorkirche zur „basilica minor“ erhoben. Diese Kirche, in der deutsche Geschichte gemacht wurde, ist wegen ihres umfassend erhaltenen romanischen Baubestandes und der zum großen Teil überlieferten Ausstattung sehenswert.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Seit 2002 ist die Basilika St. Kastor Teil des UNESCO-Welterbes Oberes Mittelrheintal, des Weiteren ist sie ein geschütztes Kulturgut nach der Haager Konvention.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Datz0y-95NQ/Tc5yxP-YTXI/AAAAAAAATpg/f9oNC3_Bjyk/s1600/P1140023.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="640px" j8="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Datz0y-95NQ/Tc5yxP-YTXI/AAAAAAAATpg/f9oNC3_Bjyk/s640/P1140023.JPG" width="480px" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-pGUNJSy7ImE/Tc7d3yBPt1I/AAAAAAAATtQ/HU8Gun23AH8/s1600/2011-04-29+Germany+Trip11.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400px" j8="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-pGUNJSy7ImE/Tc7d3yBPt1I/AAAAAAAATtQ/HU8Gun23AH8/s640/2011-04-29+Germany+Trip11.jpg" width="640px" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;We enjoyed&amp;nbsp;the beautiful flowers, the food and wheat beer, the sights and the hospitality&amp;nbsp;of the people in Koblenz we met during the day.

text-align: left;"&gt;Now we are back home again after a sunny, warm and wonderful trip to Germany.We enjoyed the hospitality and caring of our family during our stay.Thank you to all of you making our Germany trip the best ever. The time was too short to do all the trips on my list but I spent one day at the &lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;BUGA - Bundesgartenshow in Koblenz&lt;/strong&gt;. What a great experience!!&lt;br /&gt;Detailed report will follow shortly. The City of Toronto presented itself not very warm and sunny.&lt;br /&gt;Spring did not arrive during our absence. Only a few daffodils and tulips bloom in our Guildwood garden.&lt;br /&gt;The grass is greener but no leaves on our trees. What a difference to Germany - a country full in bloom.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;"&gt;*************&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #990000;"&gt;Wir sind wieder zu Hause, nach einer sonnigen, warmen und herrlichen Reise nach Deutschland.&lt;br /&gt;Wir freuten uns über die Gastfreundschaft und Fürsorge unserer Familie während unseres Auftenthaltes.&lt;br /&gt;Vielen Dank an alle, das war unsere beste Deutschlandreise.&lt;br /&gt;Wie immer, ist die Zeit zu kurz alles zu tun, was auf meiner Liste stand. &lt;br /&gt;Aber ich verbrachte einen Tag auf der &lt;strong&gt;BUGA - der Bundesgartenshow in Koblenz&lt;/strong&gt;. Was ein Erlebnis!!&lt;br /&gt;Darüber berichte ich später. Die Stadt Toronto representierte sich nicht warm und sonnig.&lt;br /&gt;Der Frühling war während unserer Abwesenheit leider nicht angekommen, nur einige Tulpen und Osterglocken blühen im Garten. Das Gras ist grüner aber keine Blätter an den Bäumen.&lt;br /&gt;Was ein Unterschied zu Deutschland - ein Land voller Blüten.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8796033729363897463-1002714474578919972?l=guildwoodgardens.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://guildwoodgardens.blogspot.com/feeds/1002714474578919972/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://guildwoodgardens.blogspot.com/2011/04/good-bye-germanyauf-wiefersehen.html#comment-form' title='10 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8796033729363897463/posts/default/1002714474578919972'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8796033729363897463/posts/default/1002714474578919972'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://guildwoodgardens.blogspot.com/2011/04/good-bye-germanyauf-wiefersehen.html' title='Good bye Germany...Auf Wiedersehen Deutschland...'/><author><name>guild-rez</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12133864564682887250</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_6GTgPFqKOYk/R7_-Q5PN4WI/AAAAAAAADbw/rp0whaPUIwU/S220/Blackeyed+Susan4.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-LT4P_fIzh6o/TbvCjp4mXSI/AAAAAAAATXM/K9ZSD9ESms8/s72-c/2011-04-29%2BGermany%2BTrip.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>10</thr:total><georss:featurename>35745 Herborn, Germany</georss:featurename><georss:point>50.6847063 8.302504799999952</georss:point><georss:box>50.6363738 8.209892299999952 50.7330388 8.395117299999951</georss:box></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8796033729363897463.post-4887814740403615670</id><published>2011-04-12T05:43:00.003-04:00</published><updated>2011-04-13T13:20:53.311-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Happy Easter...Frohe Ostern - Blog break -  Blog Pause</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

text-align: left;"&gt;Our front garden features&amp;nbsp;right now flower beds and some grassy areas with a total&amp;nbsp;size of about 400 sqm.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;In April&amp;nbsp;two new Serviceberry trees will be planted. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;My goal&amp;nbsp;is to replace the lawn with ornamental grasses, shade tolerant plants as well as&amp;nbsp;ferns.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;I have researched recently many books including&amp;nbsp;the&amp;nbsp;Encyclopedia of Grasses&amp;nbsp;from Rick Darke.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;This book is a fantastic&amp;nbsp;encyclopedia of ornamental grasses, the most comprehensive and well-researched book on the subject, and one that will remain my important reference&amp;nbsp; on ornamental grasses for decades."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;**********&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #cc0000;"&gt;Im&amp;nbsp;Garten vor dem Haus befinden sich im Moment&amp;nbsp;Blumenbeete und Grasflächen&amp;nbsp;von&amp;nbsp;ungefähr 400 sqm. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #cc0000;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Im April werden zwei neue Felsenbirnen Bäume gepflanzt.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-9n2nEKk30y8/TZZ97f2gcjI/AAAAAAAATPE/utGMAus85w4/s1600/P1040957.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

Ich habe in der letzten&amp;nbsp;Zeit viele Bücher, einschließlich die Enzyklopädie von Gräsern von Rick Darke studiert.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #990000;"&gt;Dieses Buch ist eine phantastische Enzyklopädie über&amp;nbsp;dekorative Gräser. Das umfassendste&amp;nbsp;Buch zu diesem Thema, dass es sicher&amp;nbsp;für Jahrzehnte bleiben wird. Die Vielfalt der Gräser zeigt sich vor allem in Farbe und Form der Blätter, aber auch in den unterschiedlichen lange zierenden Blüten- und Fruchtständen.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-BYuZr2LjAi4/TZWp3YnRFBI/AAAAAAAATLs/MEFkcojeFFI/s1600/Rick+Darke_Grasses.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="640" r6="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-BYuZr2LjAi4/TZWp3YnRFBI/AAAAAAAATLs/MEFkcojeFFI/s640/Rick+Darke_Grasses.jpg" width="582" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;The book is available in Germany as well.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;Das Buch ist auch in Deutschland erhältlich&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ZaO6tLYN6_s/TZWp6Zc8DII/AAAAAAAATL8/FQAfxvOQMoo/s1600/Rick+Darke_Enzyklopaedie_der_graeser.jpg" imageanchor="1
