And all of a sudden… it’s summer! The summer began on Friday: it was 17 degrees Celsius in the shade already at 9.00 AM and at around 10.15 AM it was already 20 degrees in the shade, and 24 in the shade at 13.30 PM. Yes, I wrote down everything. 😀 It was also the warmest day that we’ve had this year.
We haven’t had any rain now, and all the rain before this was hail and sleet… So a good rain is what the garden and nature need now!
The first four pictures I took on Saturday, first some of the fern in our garden. Aww, those rolls…
I heart…
What did you say?
And we visited the Kauttuankoski rapids again in the evening. On the bridge again, we didn’t go down there by the rapids at all this time, but… look! Over there, inside the ruins of the mill, there’s somebody sitting there!
Can you see her?
The Norway maple in flower beside our driveway, yesterday morning I took this pic. The tree’s been buzzing with bees in some mornings…
Leopard’s bane or doronicum today, flowers…
The first two narcissus or daffodil flowers opened yesterday. The other one here in the evening light…
The rest of the pictures I took today.
Small grape hyacinth or muscari flowering…
The garden fern growing…
Fern still so small in the woods…
Oh, my peonies! 🙂
Our peas growing…
Everything is growing now, but we really would need the rain to help us out a bit… But we did already start the lawn mowing. 🙂
