Playing

We have had the most wonderful week-end. No appointments. All days out in the garden. Marta and a friend played in the water all Sunday morning.

Breakfast.....and all other meals

The sun is shining, the temparatures are perfect for the season and it is week-end. I am home after several travels and can spend all week-end in the garden. Which is absolutely needed. The nice weather we are having makes the weed explode and the garden looks like a wilderness.

If you call, I'll be out in the garden.

New flowers blooming every day now.

Colour play.

During my daily walks in the garden I often bring my camera. And I always find new spots worth photographing.

The weather is great, and we are living our lives outdoors.

Blue scillas

Creating my garden, I realise again and again that gardens from my childhood are of great inspiration to me. I wish I had photos from the gardens of my two grandmothers. May be there are some photos around if I search for them.......

There were alot of scillas in grandma Olga's garden. In spring they were like a qujilt covering the grass. I would love to sew a scilla quilt in The Blue Garden, and a couple of years ago I planetd the first bulbs, a few around the lilac, more around the cherry tree. And it seems like they are feeling at home. The grass around the cherry tree has alot of blue patches now.

The Lieutenant's Heart

I think this flower is called Bleeding Heart in English. Here in Norway we call it The Lieutenant's Heart. I have always wanted one in my gatden, but somehow never had any. Untill now.

I bought this one a couple of weeks ago. I had it in its pot the first week, and it looked sullen, almost dying. Then I planted it in a flower bed on the western side of the house before I went to England, and when I came home it was in full bloom.

Finally a lieutenant's heart is bleeding for me.
