We planted two Crony apple trees in spring, "Topaze" and "Red Windsor".                   

Don't they look promising?

P.S. End of September: The red apples on the third picture have all vanished in one night. Deers?

Pure Bliss!


Friday September 30th

My topiary garden is history. All the box plants were infested throughout with caterpillar as well as fungus. Everything has gone to the incinerator. But I have new plans in mind.

Swiss National day at the Louwina. First time ever without bonfires and fireworks - wonderful!      You could hear the Alphorns from afar.

The works are in full swing behind the Louwina. Pedestrians (with "Early" breakfast baguettes on the first picture), as well as the cows are granted passage. (Early Beck is our famous bakery in Gstaad.)

Spring 2022

In spite of depressing news: 

                      "As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat,                         summer and winter, day and night shall never cease."       Gen. 8:22 


Friday, February 25th 2022

From April 19th till June 18th the Hornbeergstrasse will be completely restored, which means the road will be closed to any traffic at daytime. So the Louwina will also remain closed during this whole construction period.

         The hellebores (helleborus niger) shine out of a sheltered corner in the garden.                      The soil is not frozen and there is no snow, which is very unusual for this time of the year.
