Autumn Planting

We have now prepared Skogsveien 30 to be left "rather alone during the winter". We have put way the garden furniture, taken the Buddah inside etc. However, we have also started preparing the garden for the spring, which we, of course, are already looing forward to! Below you can see same examples of the flowers I have planted and which should all come out early spring, around April and May. Can't wait to see them! I have planted lots!

Amineko Project - For my son Igor!

Let me have the pleasure to introduce to you my first Amineko, the crocheted Japanese cat! More cats hopefully to come. This is just the first project. He is cute, isn't he? He was made in honour of my son Igor, who loves Japanese cartoons, anime and all realted stuff! I have to thank Jorunn Skrede, without whom I would not have managed to complete this project :))

A different sight

I saw this picture today in a Norwegian newspaper. I found it so amazing to see the sunflower covered in snow! What a contrast!

One Lonely Sunflower

One lonely sunflower growing in the sun , wants to play
and have some fun . Then - whoosh - went the wind and
scattered all the seeds... And now there's lots of sunflowers,
playing in the breeze.

My real first sunflowers

It has rained for almost two complete months in Stavanger. Therefore, my sunflowers are taking longer to blossom. Anyway, they do look beautiful and I am very proud of having taken care of them since they were just tiny seeds!

Time for some news

Some time has passed since my last posting. That means much to do and little time to BLOG updating. Meanwhile, however, the sunflowers have grown taller and the strawberry plants have given us some strawberries, even if not as much as we would have expected. The work to keep tSkogsveien 30 nice, tidy and cozy continues, both outside and inside. This time with Jorunn's magic hands in control. Whereever she touches, you bet something nice pops up! Check below the new look inside the cottage (still "under construction" though. More novelties to come soon!).
