FIREWOOD AND FOREST SOUNDS




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!

  1. Dear Donna,

    It 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.

    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!

  8. bare feet, swimming in a lake?
    where 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?

  9. 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.

    That old lady is indeed.

    Happy days dear Karin!

  11. As 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.

  13. Haha, 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.
    Have to try that here too if nothing else works :)
    Beautiful weekend to you.

  14. Dear Melski,

    Indeed! 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!
