Yesterday Jared and I had our weekly date. Each Easter in Germany all the fountains in the villages get decorated with greenery and painted eggs. Since we live in the country we see so many of them and they are beautiful and quite festive. They stay like this for about 3 weeks. In the 3 years that I have been here I have never gotten any pictures of them. Well, this year Jared and I took a mini road trip get pictures of the fountains in our area. It much fun and such a relaxing and peaceful way to spend our time together. Ostern means Easter in German and brunnen means fountain. Just so you all know what to header means.
I didn't want to put all the pictures up so these are just a few examples of the Fountains. They are so fun to see and look for as you drive through the villages. It really lets you know that spring is almost here.
This show you the detail that goes into painting these eggs. This wreath represents all the Soccer teams in the BundesLiga. Those are the top teams in Germany.
They spend months decorating the eggs in preparation for the display.
Of course I had to include this one. It is the fountain from our village. You can see our beautiful City Hall in the background. We live in one of the 2 most beautiful areas of Germany. Soon the hills will be covered in cherry blossoms. I will include pictures of that when the time is here.

Those are really cool! That must put everyone in a festive mood.
How awesome! i never noticed that. I love the BundesLiga ones! How typically German. They love their fussball.
I love it! What a great way of making the season more festive. And I always love looking at your pictures with the subtle German backgrounds (like your beautiful city hall). It makes me want to see it.
These are beautiful! what a fun date!
I want to visit you! Each time I see your pictures of your beautiful village and country I am so jealous! I would be there tomorrow if I could! Will you ever be coming back to Utah to visit?
