Time for Summer Holiday

Starting my four week summer holiday today in sunny weather.
This year, at least up until now, has been a year of personal
 growth and realization for me. As a result, I have
 made absolutely no plans for my holiday.

I intend to slow down, zone in and continue on this path
 of really getting to know myself. I'm going to spent
time in the garden, read books and go to the beach,
but only when I feel like it. This will be a
vacation of no "must's" .

Take care!

Ps. Peony time is here. Love, love
love it!

Green Bouquet

Summertime makes no exception when it comes to always having
flower arrangements around the house. However, I never buy
any bouquets from the florist this time of year.

Our garden and the surrounding nature provides me
 with all the necessary material I need.
And I just love to bring some of that
amazing beauty inside.

Wish you all a grand new week!

Garden Flowers

I just love how green and colourful nature is at the moment.
Here are a few snapshots from my blossoming flowerbeds.
Let's enjoy this wonderful time and all the beauty

 around us.

Crabapple

I planted a small crabapple last autumn. After being so taken by our gorgeous

 cherry blossoms every spring, I started looking for another, 

similar tree to plant in another part of our garden.

So happy I chose this one! Wow! 

There are tons of  amazing flowers in a lovely, 

slightly darker pink shade. Now I just can't wait for it to grow bigger.

Such a wonderful time outside right now. 

There is life everywhere and the surrounding nature is full of colours. 

Love it!

Have a great weekend!

Vili 3 years

Yet another example of how time flies. Can't believe this little guy turns 3 years old today. 

Feels like these pictures were taken just a little while ago. 

Congratulations sweet little Vili! 

You travelled a long way to become one of our family members. 

What a joy it has been! 

 

Hello Coco!

Let me introduce you to our newest family member, Adjoo's A Real Gold Mine "Coco".
She's an Australian Shepherd just as our previous girls have been,
and I simply can't believe how adorable she is! 

 Coco absolutely adores food, and hangs out by her bowl quite often.
She may look innocent and all, but she's quite the little rugrat!  :)

Welcome to our gang sweet little Coco!

Cherry Blossom 2019

The cherry blossoms in our garden have been exceptionally beautiful this year.
Thousands of pink flowers have bloomed for nearly two weeks now, and I think that's
 record-breaking for the 13 years since I planted the tree. Wow!
This tree never seizes to amaze me!
