The weekend was still with cool air, a bit of rain, a bit of sun. The weekend was a cat, a summerhouse, a book, sauna. The weekend was walking bare feet, swimming in a lake, walking through forests. Landscapes turned gradually more green on my way back on Monday.
Today is very warm, today is very sunny. Today is a bicycle trip to eat an ice cream. Today is color green and today is happy.
Hopefully your day is too!
what are you reading?
ReplyDeleteDear Donna,
ReplyDeleteIt is a book by Paul Auster, The New York Trilogy. Very beautiful. I keep on stopping to read it many times only that it would last a bit longer.
I love the bookmark sneaking out of the pages.
ReplyDeleteholy moly those socks are amazing!!! in fact, i'm in love with that entire first photo.
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful pictures Anna! Please send a little handful of sun towards us, we miss it!
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely end of week.
oh those green socks are the loveliest! Do they have a face? or just the ears?
ReplyDeletesunshine, bike rides and ice cream!! the best combo ever. enjoy!!
ReplyDeleteDear Julia,
ReplyDeleteHappy to hear that! It is nice to read, always accompanied by someone.
Have a good end for the week!

Dear Lulu,
That is very nice to hear! You can see the slippers here too: http://annaemilial.blogspot.com/2009/11/kumpula.html (:
Happy day!
...
Dear Flora,
Thank you! Hopefully a few whiskers of the sun reached you too, this morning was cloudy here, but now it is sunny again.
Happy weekend Flora!
...
Dear Karen,
Nice to know that you like them! Above you see a link to a picture with faces of the slippers (:
...
Thank you dear Love Again,
Surely I did, maybe today a bit more of the same. Hopefully you get that too, even I guess that there it is now autumn.
Happy weekend!
bare feet, swimming in a lake?
ReplyDeletewhere are you right now, on a tropical island??
love very much how you are dressed and the sweet socks :)
the old lady spying over the book page is drawn by you, no?
That is the way how spring comes here, one needs to "throw the winter fur away". That is, swim as soon as you can. Usually when there is still some ice in the lake, this year I was late. And to the lake one walks bare feet. From sauna of course! And back to sauna after swimming.
ReplyDeleteThat old lady is indeed.
Happy days dear Karin!
ah happy days :) love the green wooly things on your feet! are they socks?
ReplyDeleteAs I got older, time no longer had that endless, lingering quality as it did for me when I was a child. This year I have finally realized what I need to do in order to recapture that quality. Rather than just sitting back, relaxing, and doing nothing... which I thought was the answer, I make a record of what I do. I notice. I hand stitch a little something rather than whizzing through it with my sewing machine, or I photograph what I am doing. Reading your blog is another thing I do. You can't imagine how much I appreciate your blog. From the other side of the earth your artwork, your pictures, and your writing, make me stop and notice not just your world , but mine as well. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteI love the rugs in the first photo!
ReplyDeleteHaha, Anna Emilia: that's the way it works! I guess you know the secrets of say good bye to a winter that doesn't want to go well enough.
ReplyDeleteHave to try that here too if nothing else works :)
Beautiful weekend to you.
Dear Melski,
ReplyDeleteIndeed! They are slippers, look above to my earlier comment and you find a link to a picture of their face too (:
Happy weekend!
...
Dearest Caroline Ellis,
Very very very many times thank you and a humble curtsey, I am very honored of your words. Now I know to keep on going and not relaxing too much me too. I am happy if you can see the small things I see.
Have a good weekend Caroline!
...
Dear Brooke,
I think both of them are made by my mother. Or at least the one with the blue triangle. The black one might be by my grandmother. It is another world of "handwriting" these rugs, they differ so much.
Have a good weekend!
...
Dear Karin,
Today it is +28°C and the green is turning darker all the time. I just watch it all behind my window, but for the afternoon I promise a new bicycle tour to the arboretum nearby and an ice-cream!
Better weather for your weekend too!
the eyes peaking over the book has made my morning. lovely, lovely, photos :)
ReplyDeletexo Alison

ReplyDeleteThe weather here feels like autumn. This morning the sun was shinning very bright, but now she is gone again for whole this afternoon. Maybe next week the weather will be better again, let hope for it : )
