[dreaming and planning]

I’m so happy I can snap sunset photos from our new home too. This was taken from our bedroom window.

Saw this sign while we were on our Mother's Day adventure. 

I'm dreaming about gardening. Checking out the Vesey's catalog and visiting green houses. But I'm limited what I can do this summer. I have to wait and see what grows in the front yard before doing a complete overhaul of the yard. The flowerbed is very large and weirdly done. I'm going to save the plants I like and replant them where I want them (in front of the house instead all along the driveway). Then I just want grass where the flowerbed is now. 

I also have to wait before I can do anything in the back yard. Wait to see if we are building a new fence, a deck, etc. There are many tree roots all over the yard from the three huge evergreen trees we cut down. So can't do much in the back yard yet either. Patience isn't my strongest personality trait. Sigh. 

I want to plant berries and vegetables along the fence eventually. We need to do some sort of platform for the trampoline as it's difficult to cut the grass underneath it.

There is a long flowerbed (which the previous home owners had filled up with rocks) along the walkway to the front door. I want to plant Heather flowers only in it. But our hardiness zone is 3A and Heather flowers like 4. I need to do some research and see if I can find a variety that will grow in our zone. The Heather I want has deep purple flowers and they'd look gorgeous when there are many of them together. Kainuun tyttö olen kun tykkään kanervista niin.

I still love the pink lily of the valleys too. But they spread easily so I'm thinking of planting some in a large pot.

Hostas are great for shade. This yellow variety is kind of cool.

I don't eat corn but I love the colors of these ones.

How about a cute little house for the bees.

Happy Friday everyone! 

[the sky was on fire!]

Jos välillä vaikkapa suomeksi... 

Meillä on asuskellut eräs Lappalaispoika jonkin aikaa kunnes löytää opiskelija-asunnon. Suomen kielen puhuminen on kiven takana. Ihan kamalaa yrittää mitään selittää suomeksi.

Tiedätte varmaan jo mitä teen JOKA KERTA kun on upea auringonlasku. Miljoona ja yksi kuvaa makuuhuoneen ikkunan läpi. En voi olla ottamatta.

Puut on upeita, keltaisia taidepatsaita. Taivas on melkeen joka päivä kirkkaan sininen ja lämpö on jopa 25C edelleen. Kylmät aamut muistuttaa että talvi on pian tulossa.

Tein jotain todella södeä eilen. Kuvia tulossa as usual. J

Minuun iski eilen siivousvimma. Sellainen että keittiöstä jo lähti melkeen kaikki ylimääräinen krääsä. Kaikki paikat pitää nyt käydä läpi ja poistaa kaikki tarpeeton ja mitä ei ole tullut käytettyä vuosikausiin. Ihana olo jo pelkästä keittiön kevennyksestä. Suosittelen! On ollut mun to do listalla jo kauan mutta vihdoinkin sain aloitettua.

Ihanaa perjantaita teille kaikille!

[eyes on the sky]

I can’t not take pictures when the sky looks like this. Impossible!

Happy Monday everyone! J

[summer vacation!]

Summer vacation time! Yey!

We don’t have any huge plans for the summer yet but I’m sure we’ll do couple of road trips. Sienna and I will try to visit as many different playgrounds as possible. Popsicles, play dates with friends, trampoline  fun, swimming, biking, reading, relaxing… Mellow summer stuff. Gotta love it!

[it's that time of the year again]

{some things that made me smile}

Sienna's class made self portraits. this one cracks me up every time i see it. :D 

"My name is Sienna. I have an uncle named Robin. He is goofy. I like spaghetti."

it really should say pasgetti instead of spaghetti. that's how Sienna says spaghetti. :) 

here in Canada, we have a popular donut place called Tim Hortons. Sienna always says Tim Portons. :)

yet another gorgous sunset.
