Friday Bliss # 189 - Happy First of May!


April comes to its end and the spring has come even to Finland. The snow has melted away 
and I have started to work in the garden. There are tiny signs of new growth: 
crocuses, scillas and bursting buds. I got these sunny tulips from a visiting friend
and combined them with lime button chrysanthemums.






Selma and Silva got sterilized and they wore this kind of protectic wear,
which was much more comfortable than collar. The first days they were tired 
but are now their lively selves. They will celebrate their 8 month birthday on May 2.



Vappu - May Day and the eve of First of May are traditional big celebrations in Finland
with student caps, balloons, booze, tippaleipä and sima / mead, a fermented citrus drink.
But I have grown too old for extravagances and prefer take it easy and stay home!



Skål to Spring & Happy First of May!

  1. Good morning Riita,
    it shines really well for you today. Looks good.
    The cats are wearing a little dress, they certainly don't like it, but what has to be, has to be.
    All the best, have a nice weekend and best regards, Eva

    1. Selma and Silva are well after the operation and don’t have to wear this dress any more. They were out in the garden for the first time, fun! Happy weekend Eva.

  2. The combination of sunny tulips with lime button chrysanthemums is very matching and beautiful. I agree that what Selma and Silva wore is better than wearing a collar which gets in the way and is uncomfortable. Good to know that they are back to their lively selves. Happy birthday to both of them. Wishing you Happy 1st of May.

  6. Beautiful flowers!! I have never seen lime button chrysanthemums, I will look for them for my garden. Thanks you. Your lady looks lovely. What are those purple flowers? Selma and Silva look adorable, they must be really good kitties to leave the protective wear alone. They do look comfortable. Happy Birthday to both of them!

    1. The green plant as hair of the lady is Tradescantia. I like this variety with its purple under leaves. The kitties are well again and they are really good, too good as a matter of fact 😻

  13. Dear Riitta,
    How nice that spring has arrived in Finland! The yellow tulips bring additional bright joy.
    Selma and Silva look chic in their protective suits - and I think it's great that there is this more comfortable alternative to the protective collars.
    Have a good start into May!
    All the best,
    Traude

    1. We had to use a collar on Sissi during her last winter and that was terrible This wear was tolerated very well. Happy May Traude.

  14. brilliant to put clothing on the kittens instead of those hated collars! Love your yellow and the photos are great. If I got to drink citrus drinks and eat whatever that pastry is I'd go along with all the celebrations!

    Wow, I thought something terrible happened to your cats. Thank God it's "just" a sterilization.
    Your flower arrangement is wonderful!

    Greetings and a good start to May 1st

  22. Liebe Riitta,
    in der Nacht zum ersten Mai wird hier in Deutschland auch viel gefeiert, aber wir haben es auch vorgezogen zu Hause zu bleiben.
    Das leuchtende Gelb und das Grün passen sehr gut zusammen, ein wundervoller Strauß. Ich mag gelbe Blüten sehr, sie sind einfach wie kleine Sonnen.
    Ich wünsche Dir einen schönen Sonntag.

    Viele liebe Grüße
    Wolfgang
