Awesome days

Weather has been really warm lately,

and it has caused accelerated growth in my garden.

Flip side of it is drought.

I am not complaining

- after last summer this is so much lovelier.

Filled with spring

Spring has sprung fast.

Really fast.

Whole last week we have had heat,

and nature, as well as my garden, too,

has started blooming.

Midsummer at the garden

We are spending Midsummer weekend at home.

No festival, no summer cottage, no camping area.

Just home.

And garden.

June

It is almost summer solstice.

In my world days have blended like pearls -

one after the other,

and then,

runned around when the chain has broken.

Happy and not so happy moments

Last weeks have been ups and downs.

Some days has gone fluently - but fast - 

and some not.

Today is one of those days,

when things are not going on very fluently.

Preservation time

It is preservation time.

It has been a while already:

it started when blueberries were ripen in the woods.

And it will go on until apples and potatoes are harvest.

This year I have been making jam.

A lot of jam...

My garden, in early June

I have had hands full lately.

But I am never too busy to take a round in my garden.

I just close my eyes from weeds,

and wander around...

Garden, in the end of May

When I came back home,

old apple trees had finished flowering,

but when I made a round in garden,

I found out,

that there was so much more blooming.

Garden is growing fast

Last days weather has been great,

and garden is growing really fast.

Before out trip to Tabaslu, Estonia (more about it later),

Spring in garden -flowers

Weather has been warm and sunny last days.

It has made garden in bloom.

First things first...

Now, when Supermoto Season starts again.

the very first thing for me is

to get my "First Aid bag" ready.

Of course there is First Aid Kit in car,

and there is also help around the race track,

but my bag is for different use.

Once upon a time....

Once upon a time there was a grandmother,

who asked her grandsons,

 if they would like to come over and help cleaning the yard.

Grandmother told,

that she would pay salary for the job well done.

"I'll come" said 7-year old.

"I might have something else to do", told almost 9-years old.

Decorating papercups

Spring is progressing so fast.

Liverleafs are blooming in the back yard.

They are so beautiful.

Spring also means Supermoto.

Season will start in no time.

And I will be spending several weekends in race track.

Cooking. Making coffee. Tensing.

Little chores here and there

Last days have been variable:

work and a little bit fun between daily life.

Like cleaning Motobiili.

Camper used in race tracks.

Yep. Supermoto season is starting soon.

I know what I'll be doing during next week...

I slept a little longer on Saturday morning.

When I woke up,

I saw from window Hubby in backyard with the saw.

And he had been up few hours already.

Fire wood shelter

We have used wood for heating during winters all the years here in Halkis.

But how much has always depended on free fire wood.

Hubby have sawn it and cut it next to garage.

When we decided to use even more wood for heating,

we knew, that we need to start buying it.

And when you are buying ready made wood,

there is no point to storage it under open sky.

So we needed shelter for fire wood

- and I wanted it closer the house than garage is.

Flower box

I have an old flower box by the corner of the house.

My hubby has made it decades ago.

And it sure looks like it.

I mean old. And suffered.

It has been painted last about 15 years ago,

when I found the same pink paint,

that previous owners has used to paint the house.

It really isn't any pleasure to the eye.

Running behind the time...

Circus market was held earlier than normal.

During the decades market is held around weekend of 11th-13th.

This year we almost missed it.

Fall is around the corner

I have to admit to myself,

that fall is almost here.

Even the days have been mostly sunny,

evenings are dump and chilly.

And getting darker,

What is up?

We have got warmth. 

Finally.

Not heat, but warm.

I can see becoming fall in the garden.
