FALLing...



I like the word fall. How fitting. The year falls to an end, the leaves fall, everything falls (softly). I am falling, too...

It was a beautiful day. Almost warm. We took a walk to "our" farm (again... are you tired of seeing pictures of sheep yet?!). We saw lots of mushrooms. And leaves. It's ruska-aika, the time of autumn-colored leaves. We had a picnic, we hung out with friends. We got cranky on our way home (every outing must end with crankiness or it isn't a real outing). We came home and drank a cocoa (with oat milk and thick chocolate syrup).

Dear Fall, yes, I'm falling for you. :)

Popping in, Hanging Around


Hi, how are you? I hope you are good. Thank you for commenting on the inspiration files, I see some of us have very similar taste... My personal favorite is the one with the glossy black floors and the library. Living there is almost like living on top of a grand piano, I imagine. And of course, I'd like to have a pretty room with French doors for all my books. Hmm.

Books... I've been reading a lot lately. Fall slows down things nicely, doesn't it. I've been drinking tea, too, with spoonfuls of honey, in my pajamas, on the couch. The weather is cold (although it's been nicer the last few days), we've worn mittens and hats and scarves... I feel like these animals... doing my routines, and finding quiet enjoyment in them. Liberating, invigorating, peaceful.

I wish you a relaxed weekend!

(And here is a relaxed meal).


Hallo ihr, ich habe beschlossen, jetzt auch öfters mal etwas auf deutsch zu schreiben. Es wird keine direkte Übersetzung des Englischen werden. Das kann ich auch gar nicht, denn ich denke anders auf englisch als ich es auf deutsch tue (war das jetzt überhaupt richtiges Deutsch, haha).

Wie war euer Herbst? Ich bin sonst nicht so der Fan von kaltem Wetter, aber diesen Herbst habe ich bisher genossen... mit vielen Büchern, heissem Tee, und Schlafanzug und Kuscheldecke auf der Couch... und vor allem dem Einleben in alte Routinen. Herbst muss doch gar nicht grausam sein, habe ich dabei gelernt. Er ist doch eigentlich ganz schön; friedlich, still, erfrischend. Mit tollen Farben.

Ein schönes Wochenende wünsche ich!

... had a little lamb, and we'd like one, too, please.



We live a ten-minute walk away from this little farm. We spend many summer mornings here, feeding sheep and cows. Animals and children and mud - a great combination!

Talking of animals, lilla a is hosting a zoo exhibition. Entry deadline is on Monday.

Happy midsummer weekend!
