It's snowing here today, our first "snow day" of the school year.
Perhaps it's the snow, perhaps it's the time of year,
or perhaps it's that I recently posted pics from Staufen's market,
but my mind has instantly gone to this winding drive my husband and I took
through the Black Forest.
Schwarzwald in Germany,
the home of childhood fantasy and fairy tale.
Hansel and Gretel.
Snow White. Little Red Riding Hood.
Brothers Grimm.
Instantly, my mind is swept to this stunning red chapel
perched in the center of a mountain curve.
"Stop the car!"
I had to get out.
Suddenly my inner tourist
snapping away through car windows
was no longer satisfied.
This little gem beckoned...
a perfect red apple,
casting its spell.
