August

I am listening to the sounds of the tree frogs and insects. The sky is becoming darker with each passing moment. A bit of moonlight is visible through the trees, and the bats are starting to come out, first one, then another, darting through the sky, suddenly swooping low and then disappearing from sight. When I look up at the sky again it is completely grey, and the dark silhouettes of the…

The seeds I planted in this raised bed are starting to come up.

And the onions are coming up as well.

I am so glad that May is here at last …🌱

The first leaves are here and the forest is slowly becoming green again. It was actually very hot yesterday (it felt like a summer day) but it was still nice to walk through the woods and see…

Spring Evenings

One week of April has already gone by, and it still feels very much like winter here. Right now it is 36 degrees … I wanted to share how the ivy that I had propagated is doing. There are now new leaves! I have been watering it about once a…

In Between Storms ...

In Between Storms …

The first days of March have already brought several storms of wind, rain, and a bit of snow – with more snow coming this week. Photos; A wind storm At this time of year woods are so silent and still – except for the sounds of the streams. Succulents I love this traditional medicinals ginger tea. It is perfect for these last cold evenings! I am looking forward to April, when the leaves will begin…
