Occasionally, when I have a good photo on hand to explain a German term, I will post a mini German lesson.
Today’s word is:
Altweibersommer (lit: old women’s summer), or Indian summer.
Origin of the term: The term weiben (used as a verb), in German mythology, stood for tying spiderwebs in old German.
For the past few days, we have had blue skies, sunny afternoons, cool mornings and evenings, dewy grass, and sparkling spiderwebs.
