Floral Bliss #65

Easter is meant to be a symbol of hope, renewal, and new life. 

-Janine di Giovanni

Pääsiäinen symboloi toivoa, uudistumista ja uutta elämää.

Ostern symbolisiert Hoffnung, Erneuerung und neues Leben.

Virpominen is one of the Finnish Easter traditions - read more - mehr lesen!

In short this means that kids dressed as Easter witches or trulls

come with fancy decorated willow twigs to your door.

Then they recite a spell in poetry form wishing you all the best for the coming year.

When you get the fancy decorated twig you are supposed to give the kids some Easter candy.

Spring Euforia

It comes every spring. A day when you kind of awaken from a bear's winter sleep.

I had today my awakening moment. The scent of spring in the air and bright sunshine!

1. I want this snow away from my terrace!

I want to put the table and chairs to their place so I chopped the thick snow layers 

into small peaces and think that by tomorrow they have gone.

2. The growth has started!

Here is the evidence. It is every year so astonishing to see how vigorous the plants are.

As soon they pop up from under the snow they start to grow.

3. Decorating the terrace

Probably this Tete à Tete pot shall freeze, but I couldn't  help it....

4. Sowing the herbs

I noticed that my thyme has survived the winter in a splendid state!

I'll sow different basilica varieties very soon onto the window sill...

5. The wood pigeons have arrived!

Wood pigeons are so cute, I love them. Had to content with photos from the last year.

I have had some tiny decorations inside too...
BTW
Have you read Hanya Yanagihara's novel A little Life?
In my opinion it was good alright, but oh how violent & disgusting!

Floral Bliss #13

This week I invite you to have a cup of spring with me!
Kuppi kevättä - ole hyvä!

But the cold truth is that the winter continues and there are no signs of spring
to be seen in the garden - only moss has appeared from under the snow.
Kevät etenee tuskastuttavan hitaasti...

A pot of Tete à Tete was extremely difficult to photograph
because the flower heads look wherever they want!
So I made a tiny cup of spring for you - have a taste!
Tete à Tete kenkkuili kanssani! - Siispä tein kevätkupposen sinulle ❤︎

This is the only green that can be seen!

Olisi tosi kiva nähdä sinunkin kuviasi täällä - Tule mukaan!
