Toukokuun alkupuolta - Snowing and raining :)



Hei taas ja ihanaa toukokuuta! Kuu alkoi koleana, suorastaan talvisena, mutta valoa on nyt paljon, hieman jo vihreyttÀkin, linnut laulavat tÀyttÀ kurkkua... ja taimimyymÀlÀt ja kesÀpihat ovat auenneet. :)

Lunta satoi vielÀ toukokuun alussa.


ÄitienpĂ€ivÀÀ vietettiin kauniissa sÀÀssĂ€... ja muisteltiin ensimmĂ€istĂ€ "koronaĂ€itienpĂ€ivÀÀ" kaksi vuotta sitten. Silloin kahviteltiin isovanhempien kanssa ulkona varovaisuussyistĂ€. Onneksi oli aurinkoinen sÀÀ. :)


JÀÀ peitti jĂ€rven vahvana vielĂ€ toukokuun alussa,  mutta rannan heinĂ€t sentÀÀn paistattelivat aamun auringossa.


Laulujoutsenet ovat yhtĂ€ aikaa sekĂ€ uljaita ettĂ€ hieman koomisen nĂ€köisiĂ€. 


In English: Hello dear all! Spring was late this year. It looked like we were going to skip spring altogether and just go straight to summer.  Now we have, however, been able to enjoy some lovely spring days... I must say I'm really tired with cold temperatures. It's May, for heaven's sake! :)

Almost all these photos have been taken through a window. Let's hope these swans will have many cygnets and a happy and safe summer...


During the winter, hares have been feeding on twigs and bark of many plants.  Yet, the will to garden is bigger than ever. :) This time I waited until April to start seeds but everything germinated very fast and in our climate it will still take some weeks before it's safe to transplant the seedlings outdoors. 


Today we have been listening the gentle sound of spring rain. By now the ice has disappeared almost completely.


On melkein uskomatonta kuinka luonto tuoksuineen herÀÀ henkiin kevÀÀn ensimmĂ€isten vesisateiden myötĂ€. 



Kauniita kevÀtpÀiviÀ!

Have a beautiful spring!

  1. Toukokuu onkin ollut poikkeuksellisen viileÀ, mutta onneksi aurinkoisia ja lÀmpimiÀkin pÀiviÀ on vÀlillÀ mahtunut sentÀÀn joukkoon. Sade on kyllÀ tehnyt niin puutarhalle, kuin luonnollekin tosi hyvÀÀ ja vihreys on lisÀÀntynyt ihan silmissÀ. Kauniita kuvia kukista ja linnuista.

  2. How nice to see the Whooper Swans. Many of them spend their winters just to the north of where I live, in the Fens of eastern England. Glad to hear that you're at last having some spring weather.

  3. Sara, your spring is very late as in many places, but her rapidly unfolding beauty is sensational. Today we begin our journey to witness this sensation on Prince Edward Island and also the hugs of our Grandchildren.

  4. We have had some lovely warm weather (I had breakfast in the garden one day last week!), but now we have rain which the garden needs. I like the Whooper Swans.

  5. Spring has been very cool here, too, although we are further ahead than you. The Whooper Swans are a lovely sight. Such pretty pansies! I'm glad spring is coming in your corner of the globe.

  6. KylmÀÀ on ollut tÀÀllÀkin pÀin. Ja jos lÀmpötila onkin ollut siedettÀvÀ, niin armoton tuuli on pitÀnyt huolen siitÀ ettei liian lÀmmintÀ toppatakissa tule.

  7. Tosi viileÀ kevÀt on menossa myöskin Turussa. LÀmpötilat eivÀt juuri eroa muun maan lÀmpötiloista. Joitakin lÀmpimiÀ pÀiviÀ on ollut ja silloin ihmiset vÀhentÀvÀt heti vaatteita. KesÀn kaipuu on kova. TÀllÀ hetkellÀ vaaleanpunaiset kirsikkapuut kukkivat ja se nÀky on huikean kaunis.

  16. Dear Sarah, the weather here is also bad and cold. My seedlings moved to the greenhouse are suffering from cold and I need to cover them with a cloth inside the greenhouse. Incredible!
    I want you to know that I approve of everything that happens in your country. By the way, I saw the great series 'Signora Volpe' produced by the BBC in Italy. I like the sound of both languages :)
