Last of the growing season

August

The last of the carrots were pulled up and devoured.

My peas started blooming again!

I poured half a bucket of water on my feet... and walked home in soggy shoes..

Color therapy.

September still in bloom.

I moved perennials around.

I found a smaller pumpkin hiding in tall grass.

Second batch of peas.

October

I planted garlic!
I'm excited.

All tucked up until spring.

Luckily the new seed catalog arrived, so I have all winter to plan and dream.

August, monthly recap

In August I...

...worked on my book. Taking photos of tiny things is hard work :)

...missed a talented miniaturist friend as I sifted through her amazing dishes.

...took walks in the woods.

...picked chanterelles.

...picked wild strawberries and raspberries. Food of angels.

...found old c-tapes. Now if I only had a player.

...enjoyed a shiny museum airplane.

...was happy that hubby found our long lost graduation caps in the garage. In the one unpacked moving box from 1996...

...got an updated wedding ring on our 22nd anniversary.

Old is Kalevala koru the new by Evfa Attling.
My new ring is called Moonwalk. Seemed apt as I was born the year of the first moonwalk :)

...read in the sun.

...was back at work after the summer break.

...got a Fitbit. This was how many floors I climbed during my work day.

...picked flowers and took them to work.

...had a great time at my 30th class reunion. Nothing beats old friends.

...loved the sweet gift I got from the one classmate who came all the way from Vancouver, BC. He knows how much I miss the area.

...loved this book.

...got in the groove.

...had some downtime.

...bribed her to take a selfie with me.

...captured sweet moments at work. Second graders deep in conversation.

...picked quite a few bouquets of flowers!

...watched in fascination as dew turned into mist as the sun hit it.

Denmark calling, final day

So the breakfast room at the hotel had a huge text of "I can resist everything except temptation" and served danishes... ha.

Our last day started out rainy, which suited us fine, we were heading out to do some shopping.

We walked to Fisketorvet, a mall in the area that used to be the fish market.
They had the coolest fish art around the place.

Going back to the hotel we took a different route as we went hunting for a specific micro brew place Saara wanted to visit.

We found Mikkeller. Saara and Mika enjoyed a beer.
I enjoyed the seat.. my feet were killing me.


Last of the ice cream signs. Technically a frozen yoghurt sign, but I'll take it.

After a good meal and a game of chess, we picked up our suitcases and headed for the railway station.

The rain was torrential for a while.

Nice and pretty above the clouds though.

It was a great trip, I will have to go back.
So much still left unseen.
