You and me Vs.

It's like the story of the crows and the butterflies...

Village Fools...

Yesterday in the sun...

Yesterday I took a trip down to the ocean, spent some time in the warm sun and watched the ocean roll in against the cliffs. Then I took a long walk on 9,9 km trough a very cute summerhouse village. I walked passed a gardener, that you can see strolling around on the street in the last picture. His garden was amasing, my camera didn't want to stay alive for that long but I am going back one day just to show you his fence. It was truly amasing. But one thing I can't really understand is, the houses down there are very close to eachother just like any other summercottage place like this. Well I was walking down the street and this 2 ladys was out in the lawn talking about their medicine. Out in the open, so just by passing them I learned that one of them took her medicin at night but the other one can't because then she wont be able to sleep. And the first one said that she don't get to sleep at night anyway so it doesn't matter. I love that people are open and friendly but yeah screaming about your medicine to your friend 2 gardens away seems abit much in some way... But good for them! Oh and I passed this man working in his garden and he had the most stunning Magnolios and Japanese cherrieblossoms. Hot bubblegum pink and the whole garden filled up with these pink amasing flowers. It was truly wonderfull to pass his garden in the street and see these pink flowers swaying in the light breese. And he had a really cute dog who said hi to everyone passing his house. That made the garden even more amasing in my eyes. Well now I am going to eat my breakfast and have a coffee.

The weather is as gray as me..

Oh how I wish that the weather today was as nice as when I took this picture. This was about 2 weeks ago down by the ocean and it was so nice. Warm winds and salty air, lovely!

Today the weather and I go hand in hand. I just feel gray, out of energy, don't really want to do anything. To top it off I'm turning 24 tormorrow. I know it's not an age, well it is for me half a year into 23 I still thought sometimes that I was 22. Next year it's time for 25 and I am not looking forward to that. Yesterday I was feeling sooo sick in the night, my stomach started to hurt like crazy and it was not a nice experience. Well well I guess I am going to try to avoid getting worse today so I don't have to be sick on my birthday. Oh one thing that is kind of fun, didn't the English royal wedding pick a great day? 29'th of April... Haha! Well anyway today I can stay in and plan what it is we are going to do this year. In the garden world I mean. I have planned to visit some big gardens, both for myself and for you. I tought it might be fun to see some big swedish gardens aswell as our smaller ones out here. Well now it is time for some breakfast so I will blog more later. Have a nice day!

The start is only the beginning.

Every year it's the same thing, trying to remeber what we used in the pots and what we planted last year. Did we put the tulips over there? Is that weed or is it some fancy flower? What did we buy for the front entrance to the house? Last year I borrowed my brothers camera and walked around taking pictures of everything we had done that year. Do you think it helped? Not really.. Now it's more "Do you think that this little green thing is that flower in the picture there?" Oh the joy of having a garden in the spring. Next year I'm gonna grow stuff on a balcony.

The illness hits us all sometimes.

Just 2 days ago I was sitting in the sun and living the life. Today I sit inside, freeezing, with stomach pains and a suar throat. I can hardly get my breakfast down, so working in the garden today is probably not a good idea. So today Im staying in and looking in some magasines and reading some blogs to see if I can get some inspiration for our garden. That's about what I can do today. Hope that you are having a better day then I am.

Summer in April.

The weather the last couple of days have been insane. We have wished for spring for such a long time now and over easter we got it...and then some. In our greenhouse it has been over 30 degrees celsius! But I am not complaining. Oh no! Far from it! I love it, I have spent the weekend amongs the plants working on my book. I have heard that it's both good for the brain and the tan haha. We have also got our entire patio washed and boy was that needed. I had no idea that it was made out of wood (okey I did but it's cleaner wood now). Today we are gonna get some raised plantbeds built, I can't wait for that. This is such a fun time of the year, this is when it all starts. Well I am off to easterlunch with fresh bread, harring and eggs!
