Zadnji septembrski dan / The last day of September

 

"Baby's dreams must be the sweetest," thought Pooh.

Lešniki, balkon in pes / Nuts, balcony and one big dog

 Z malim B sva imela čudovito popoldne. 

Sedela sva na balkonu, trla lešnike, klepetala o drobnih rečeh in metala luščine skozi luknje v ograji.

Little B and I had a wonderful time today.

We sat on the balcony, crushing nuts, talking about tiny things and throwing husks through the holes in the fence.

Popoldansko sonce nas je povabilo na raziskovanje

Mimo ribnika, skozi trstičje in trave, v gozd... med gobe, praproti in mikado dreves, ki jih je neurje pometalo po tleh. 

A gentle afternoon sun.

Warm breeze.

Trees were calling with their rustling voices.

Pass the pond, through the reeds, among the trees... exploring with my kids.

Rože, knjiga in preja / Flowers, books and yarn

preja

Danes se težko pohvalim s kakšnim blaznim pletilskim dosežkom. Včeraj sem sparala nekaj rdečega, ker mi ni bilo všeč. V roke sem vzela kvačko, da bi morda dobila kakšno luštno idejo. Nič. Brskala sem med ostanki in upala na iskrico. V roke se mi je prikotalila izredno mehka bela klobka. Nasnula sem in hitro spletla trak za ušesa. 

rože

Dva mala cvetka pelargonije. Darilo Gospodične N.

knjiga

Iz knjižnice sem zopet prinesla Igrišča narave. Ko pa sem iskala link, sem opazila, da je izredno znižana, tako da zanjo ne bom več plačevala zamudnine :o)

 

 

yarn

  I have no highly advanced knitting project for you to show today. A headband to cover Miss G's ears. From start to finnish in less than an hour.  

flowers

Cute little pelargonium blossoms from Miss N.

books

  I brought home Nature's Playground: Activities, Crafts and Games to Encourage Children to get Outdoors (by Fiona danks and Jo Schofield) from the library few days ago.

Zaljubljeni v svet / Falling in Love with the World

Jesenski pladenj

Po nekaj letih sem (skoraj že) obupala nad tem, da bi nam uspelo sestaviti in obdržati urejeno poličko na kateri bi imeli razstavljene reči, ki prikazujejo določen letni čas (nature shelf). Nekako reči s poličke izginejo, poleg se začne nalagat reči, ki tja sploh ne sodijo (računalniška miška, lepilo, lonček z barvo...) in podobne reči. Tako sem to jesen poskusila nekaj novega. Naravni pladenj. Zadeva stoji na mizi, le v času obrokov jo brez težav prestavim. Pladenj se je tako lepo ujel v naš dom in vsakdan, da se nam zdi, kot da je že od nekdaj tukaj. 

Nature tray

Instead of having a nature shelf I decided to put a nature tray on the table.

Nature shelf never realy worked for us. I love the idea, but stones, nuts, leave, whotever was on dispaly has miraculously disapered in few days and things like glue, cups... took their place.

But this tray is great. It's easy to move it around, nothing can fall off and it's all still there after few days. Yay!

 Ali modra veste, je ta rumeno zelen jajčevec užiten?

Do you know, is this yellow eggplant edible?

Sobotno vrtnarjenje / Saturday Garden Journal

 Prav vse še raste, se debeli, zori, poganja, dela glave itd kar je še primernih glagolov.

Navdušena sem nad endivijo. Pravzaprav je postala številka ena med solatami. 

Bučke so malce upočasnile rast. Verjetno jih zebe.

Ohrovt je naredil krasne glave.

Cvetača je izredno zaposlena z izgradnjo velikih listov in je pozabila na belo kepo. Pa tako lepa je bila na vrečki semen. Oh ja, bo pa drugo leto bolje.

It's all still growing, feeding us and making us happy in the garden.

We love endive... it has become a new favourite salat plant from the garden.

Zucchinis are slowing up their growth... must be the cold.

Cauliflower is too busy growing big green leaves and has no time for lovely white flower in the middle. Oh well, there is always next year.

 Tale mali radovednež me je opazoval med prekopavanjem novih vrtnih površin (slaba dva metra celi dolžini). Čakal je na male priboljške. Teh je bilo kar nekaj.

This little  curious bird was watching me digging soil. She was waiting for fat juicy bugs.

  (We'll add almost two metres on one side of the garden. Yay!)

Pri podiranju bezga smo našli sračje gnezdo in dekleti sta si lahko ogledali, kaj imam v mislih, ko jim rečem, da s sračjim gnezdom na glavi ne moreta od doma.

We cut down the old sick elderflower tree today. The branches are lying on the groud and the girls had a lot of fun climbing around. We also found a  magpie's nest. Girls were fascinated. Now they know what I mean when I say that they have a magpie nest on the head.

Tole pa je (še) en vrtni projekt. Klopca. Pravzaprav sta dve. Našla sem ju ob robu ceste. Čakali sta na odvoz na smetišče, pa sem ju rešila žalostne usode. Nekoč sta bili povezani v jedilni kot, sedaj pa sta ločeni. Ena je dvosed, druga trosed in prav veselim se trenutka, ko se ju bom lotila najprej z brusnim papirjem nato s čopičem. Tudi šivalni stroj bo zapel, saj bosta nujno potrebovali blazine. 

Sploh si ne morete misliti, kako navdušena sem bila, ko sem ju zagledala. Čudoviti bosta ob lopi in jaz poleg s knjigo v roki... vse ob svojem času...

And this is another big project for our garden. Two lovely benches that I have rescued from the side of the road. I love them. With a little bit of colors, new cushions and me with a book they are going to be great :o)

Nothing is more the child of art than a garden.
