The flowers are small, but this stays upright and needs no support.

Bouquet of peonies with Sarah Bernhardt from end of June compensates for
the present Bad weather.

The Weekend Roundup Y

 Starts with Y:
Hopefully this is Yucca and not Agave!

Tom’s choice Yellow & my favourite:
Iris pseudacorus is Yellow

 Starts with Y:

Yesterday we celebrated Midsummer Eve, a big celebration in Finland.

People have sauna at their summer cottages, eat & drink, and many have
hangover today. I don’t because I don’t drink :)

Starts with Y:

Our family dinner on Midsummer Eve was all very Yummy!

My son-in-law is chef and he made all the food - I was grateful & felt lazy! 

We had new potatoes with herring & pickled raw salmon, filled mushrooms, 

pork casserole and grandmom’s cucumbers. As dessert rhubarb pie with icecream 

and coffee. I always forget to photograph the table when it still is pretty 

- this is what was left! 

Their two Tibetan terriers Arthur & Paul found a shadow under the table.

If you are interested look here how we Finns love to eat new potatoes & herring:

For many Finns, nothing is better than a very simple, yet tasty dish of boiled new potatoes 

eaten with pickled herring, a pat of butter and a sprig of fresh dill. 

A lot of care should be put in finding and buying fresh new potatoes of the highest quality.
