It feels that the summer has finally arrived! In the beginning of this week the weather was gorgeous with summer temperatures at about 22 C. On Thursday it began to rain and will continue still for two days. But rain is welcome, because it has been very dry. I’ll share some glimpses of my garden this week. Plums and cherries are in full bloom and they look wonderful. The garden has not yet fully grown, for examples the hostas are just showing and many shrubs don’t have leaves yet.
I don’t remember the variety os these pastel tulips, I chose them because they were on offer.
They look better in real life than on the photos.
Tulipa sylvestris are delicate and beautiful every spring!
There are coming among others Lilium martagon.
This vigorous Clematis Constance is growing along our house ladders.
It is not yet in full bloom.
With the kittens we have fun every day.
They are trying to catch bees eagerly, silly them!
I read this week Oh William! by Elizabeth Strout and liked it very much.
We have got great news: My husband’s granddaughter Noora is having a baby
in late November ❤︎ DH will be a great granddad. Isn’t it great!
Happy Spring Weekend!

so eine Blütenprach es ist wunderbar und jaaa Kätzchen an der Leine, das ist ja zu schön. Sie machen das tatsächlich??
VastaaPoistaNeugierig ist sie. Habe ein schönes Wochenende und ich sende liebe Grüße Eva
In Finland it is not recommended to let cats free near cities, because the traffic is dangerous. My kittens got used to the leashes in the winter inside the house - no problem now.
PoistaLiebe Riitta,
VastaaPoistadas sind ja ganz tolle Collagen, die du zusammen gestellt hast.
Ein Traum von herrlichen Blüten der unterschiedlichsten Art.
Ich bin sehr begeistert.
Liebe Grüße
Vielen Dank Jutta 💕
PoistaOh your garden is so beautiful with all those gorgeous flowers. Hope the cat doesn't get stung by the bees.
VastaaPoistaThe other cat got stung, but she did not mind much 😻
PoistaUnd hier befindet sich der Garten schon in der Rosenzeit!
VastaaPoistaBon week-end!
Astrid
Here it will take still a month!
PoistaLove your beautiful flowers. Your garden is happily in full bloom.
VastaaPoistaAll this greenery is good for the soul after bare winter.
PoistaYou've got a vast variety of bloomings, very nice and colourful.
VastaaPoistaOnnea for the new baby! 💐
It is exciting to think of this new baby!
PoistaSchön nochmal Kirschblüten zu sehen. Die eingerollten Spitzen des Farns kann man im Salat essen.
VastaaPoistaSchön bald ein Baby zu begrüssen, Glückwunsch.

PoistaOnnittelut Nooralle <3
VastaaPoistaPuutarhanne on kyllä niin rehevä ja kaunis. Hölmöt kissat kun yrittävät metsästää pörriäisiä, saa kyllä vahtia!!
Tuntuu aivan hullulta, että J:sta tulee isoisoisä! Niin se aika rientää. Kissoille tärkeintä ulkoilussa on pörriäisten ja lintujen vahtaaminen. Joku taisi Selmaa pistää suupieleen. Vähän aikaa hieroskeli tassullaan, mutta ei ollut moksiskaan.
Poista...May is a beautiful month.
VastaaPoistaAfter a long winter this is so wonderful!
PoistaDein Mann wird Uropa, liebe Riitta? Was seid Ihr für eine gesegnete Familie - so schön! Auch die üppigen Blüten auf Deinen Bildern lassen mich seufzen. Einfach nur herrlich! Liebe Grüße, Nicole
VastaaPoistaJa Nicole, er wird Uropa, man kann es gar nicht glauben 😊 Er hat seine vier Kinder in einem sehr jungen Alter bekommen. Ich habe noch zwei Söhne und wir haben insgesamt 9 Enkelkinder. Wir sind eine grosse Familie! Wir freuen uns alle auf Nooras zukunftiges Baby, wunderschön.
PoistaI love the month of May. Your garden is wonderful, so much color and beauty to brighten our eyes.
VastaaPoistaI wish you a happy and fantastic day
Thank you Maria. The Finnish spring is always so longed for because of
Poistaour long winters.
love the fern photo! No flowers here yet but it's hot as summer... in the 90's already (ick)
VastaaPoistaTry to cope with that heat - and the snow!
PoistaCongratulations! Your cat is beautiful, as are your photos
VastaaPoistaThanks Cloudia!
PoistaYour flowers look like a dream, Riitta! My favorites are the first pinkish flowers, the lilies, and the tulips (of course:):)) I can imagine the garden is a paradise for your kitties too ! Have a lovely weekend, Emille
VastaaPoistaPS, congratulations to your hubby for becoming a grand dad!
The garden is a paradise for the kittens for sure. They try to catch birds and bees - and eat grass 😻
PoistaDear Riitta
VastaaPoistaWhat a wonderful May garden you have and I adore your clematis, such a lovely colour.
With kittens there always is a lot of fun, she is very cute.
Have a nice evening and hugs
Eda
Thank you Eda, wishing a pleasant weekend.
PoistaThank you Elke. Finland is a northern country and this year the spring is late. Last summer was too hot and too dry. I wish this summer will be more moderate with mx temperatures of C 25!
VastaaPoistaThank you for the lovely tour of your spring garden. Here in Seattle USA it's been so very cold and gray, so it looks extra beautiful to me.
VastaaPoistaThank you Sara for commenting, I wish you warmer days!
PoistaI enjoyed walking through your garden. it is beautiful there and I love all the flowers and blossoming trees. especially the clematis is a dream! how cute is the kitten on the leash! I'm sure it is also very happy about the finnish spring! here its cold and rainy now.
VastaaPoistacongratulations to your hubby!!
have a nice sunday!
Your comment delighted me Mano! Hopefully the rain stops there and the sun comes out!
PoistaLiebe Riitta,
VastaaPoistaes freut mich, dass der Sommer jetzt auch bei Dir angekommen ist und Du mir diese wundervollen Bilder aus Deinem Garten zeigst. Bei uns hat es auch wieder geregnet, aber es ist kälter geworden und fühlt sich nicht mehr nach Sommer an. Vorher war es teilweise allerdings schon viel zu warm.
Ich wünsche Dir einen schönen Sonntag.
Viele liebe Grüße
Wolfgang
Vielen Dank, habt ihr auch einen schönen Sonntag! Regnerisch auch hier.
VastaaPoistaSo gorgeous, your garden, dearest Riitta!
VastaaPoistaAnd how lush your clematis blooms!
I believe you at your word that you have a lot of fun and joy with your young cats :-)
Have a wonderful Sunday, a pleasant new week and a good start into June!
Sincerely, Traude
