Garden Joys of the Week


From 32 C to 18 C feels pretty chilly. Someone asked wether this cold weather is normal
 in Finland. I would say not, but our temperatures vary a lot. I’m glad it has been cooler, 
because we are desperately in need of rain. I don’t put my hands on a hose, but now I have had to!
This week the garden has offered still plenty of joys: 


1) A lonely baby bird has watched me in the garden at half a meter’s distance several mornings!
It bounces around me so that I have to be careful and not step on it. 
At first I thought the bird was injured, but no. It can fly, at least short distances, 
but likes to be around me & watch what I’m doing. He was there this morning too when
I was weeding my herb garden. He is so cute ❤︎  
Free photo online - because I do not do bird photos.


2) Harvest has continued: basil, parsley, dill, chives... And cherries - we got lot of them. 
My husband took the ladder and picked, I cooked & freezed the juice in small portions 
for cherry quark - it is delicious and allowed when sweetened with stevia.



3) Flowers of course, and bees and bumblebees! 
I see a butterfly only occasionally and that is a pity.



Echinops bannaticus flowers are not yet fully open but still bumblebees are interested in them!
This collage is from last August.






What are you up to this weekend? I have still some cherry cooking to do.

  4. Das Vogelkind hat großes Vertrauen in Euch, denn sonst würde es wohl wegfliegen.
    Der Schmetterling schaut prächtig aus. Es macht Freude, bei so vielen schönen Blüten im August den Garten zu besuchen. Das ist auch ein Fest für Hummeln und Bienen.
    Ich wünsche Dir weiterhin eine gute Zeit im Garten.
    Liebe Grüße von Ingrid

  5. Deine Garten Impressionen sind wunderschön. Süß wie zutraulich das junge Vögelchen ist. Die Kirschenzeit ist hier leider schon vorbei.Nun werden die Pflaumen geerntet - auch leckere Früchtchen.
    Liebe Grüße und ein schönes Wochenende wünscht dir

  6. Your flowers are beautiful and the small bird lovely.
    Today we visited Vääksyn Kanava and had lunch there. New place for both of us.
    Enjoy your Sunday!

  10. Your bumblebees are real garden joys for sure - love your collage! In the UK I read it was an exceptional once in a decade year for butterflies and they are certainly very good in Thailand as well!
