Color Collage - Wild Rose & Juniper

Color Collage 22/2021

Novita wool yarn shades of the week are Wild Rose and Juniper.

My May in Collage

May has not offered the nicest weather, though in mid May we had a few wonderful & warm 

summer days. I visited my son & hubby’s daughter and went to see Roihuvuori Cherry Park. 

Otherwise my time has gone in the garden & doing small painting jobs here and there outdoors.

May was a good reading month as well: in total 16 books read or listened,

foreign & Finnish fifty fifty.

I would like to recommend you these great novels by young writers:

Nigerian Akwaeke Emezi - The Death of Vivek Oji

Argentinian Mariana Enríquez - Things We Lost in the Fire

Vietnamese-American Ocean Vuong - On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous

I started the season of garden bouquets with this heart shaped spring bouquet.

Wishing you all a wonderful June!

Garden Joys End May

I have been complaining about the weather, but the rain has been good for the growth.

So many plants are in bloom. Our only old apple tree is bursting with flowers!

Today we have gorgeous sunshine, which made the shadows deep.

I’m very happy with tiny blue groundcovers - forget-me-not / Mysotis sylvatica 

spreads everywhere under the rose shrubs and so does Veronica filiformis.

They help to keep the weeds away.

Tulips are in full bloom: China Town, Queen of the Night, Spring Green

and behind it Purple Doll. With tulips the spring garden looks so cheerful!

I have done some painting outside. We have thick wooden planks separating

some beds from pavement. In 20 years their look had turned very untidy,

so I painted them and am happy with the result.

Wishing sunny weekend with last year’s forget-me-not  bouquet!

Friday Bliss #141 - Simple & Minimalistic

The weather gods seem not to favour sweet garden moments these days.

That is why I made a quick & simple arrangement in two bottles:

a leaf of Rodgersia, one tulip and one Polygonatum.

Voilà - there it is on my wet terrace!

Thank you for all the lovely comments you leave week after week at Friday Bliss.

Let's hope we all get some sunshine over the weekend!
