A day in the garden

I cannot say how much I enjoy these summer days.

The fullness, the warmth, the sun, going barefoot, sitting outside til night falls…
"Ein Tag im Garten" means "A day in the garden", it's a lovely children's book.

My fav flowers in the garden are cosmeas, so wonderful their name, so wonderful their bloom, delicate and soft.

In Germany they are called „Schmuckkörbchen“ (little basket of jewels). They bloom til December in good years.

And you can harvest so many herbs these days. I love their colours and fragrances in my salad.

Our dog is a bit deaf now (he is 14 and a half now), today he nearly missed the morning walk. I took this picture of him running with his ears blowing in the wind. A cutie.

What do we learn from dogs? Love. Unconditional love. The dog always loves you, even if you are not nice to him. No wonder DOG is GOD in reverse.

Those summer days

 
I love summer, I really do. It's such a easy-going time for me, walking barefoot, enjoying the sound of the trees, the birds, the bees, the cornfield with its beautiful poppies and cornflowers.
 
And most of all I enjoy working in the garden.
Starting Collage work in the morning.

And finishing it in the afternoon.

Here are some more journal pages, I've worked on lately.
 




When I am not working on my journal, I am spinning and knitting, e.g. little pixie bags.




(You can buy this one on Etsy)

Or I am just enjoying family life.
