Home, sweet home.

April is the month when I completely fell in love with the gardening.
Now I can spend a few hours in a garden center just choosing one rose from a few types, correct soil for the flowers, compost, fertilizer and so on...
April was a peaceful month full of flowers, blooming, taking care of the lawn... The everyday routine that makes you alive.


I show you my little garden and flower bed. In the springtime, I planted a blueberry tree, raspberries, and a fig tree.
This little guy kept silence for about 2 months, but after that time it started to grow and gave tiny little fig fruit. It's so exciting! I cannot wait for the moment when the fruits will be ripe!







I hardly tried to plant some strawberries. I did not succeed at all, cause, first of all, someone is always a step before me stealing ripe berries and leaving a stub. The second thing, berries are not tasty at all. They do not have a smell and taste of fresh strawberries. 



I found out even the farm strawberries don't taste here as it was in Norway. I'm so disappointed...
They look crazy beautiful but have nothing inside.




We met this cool guy on a farm picking strawberries up. He was the only one who liked berries and was thankful for feeding him a few berries.

Renessøy in April 2020.

  Another meeting with friends over a cup of tea, board games, and hiking in the neighborhood in April 2020 during the quarantine in Norway.  This time I went to spend some time with my beloved friend who lives on Renessøy. It is an island of tomatoes in greenhouses all over the place, sheep all over the fields. It's a tiny island filled with the smell of manure, salty wind, and amazing weather you can imagine in April on the south-western coast. Love this place. Love my friends.

Road trip. Stop in New Mexico

Image
Our another road trip for our family. 6 days and 5 nights in different places,  2 new states and almost 2500 miles / 4100km in the car. It could be a trip from Stavanger to Milan and back to Stavanger. Our first stop was Santa Fe , the town full of art galleries, beautiful architecture, gorgeous landscape, and comfortable the humidity of the air. It was just 12% in Santa Fe when the humidity in the Houston area is about 60-70% all the time. The difference in temperature and the common feeling in new conditions was significant.  Next stop is   Aztec Ruins : the footprints of Pueblo people who lived here until the 13-th century. The question of why they chose this place to stay at and why they left this place is still unanswered.
