Mid-September

This is a quick hello between all the hustle. September starts with a decent flu in addition to all the work, school and hobbies. Our little one turned seven years, oh my! Time is flying with increasing pace...  I'm trying to find my balance and peace by pausing for a moment here and there. Just to take a deep breath, long shower, a big hug or a slow walk. Just pressing the shutter in a tiny moment of stillness.

I'm all behind with answering your comments and making visits! I'm hoping to get there as soon as I find time :)

Daisies

Oh my I've been busy! August almost gone... girls in school, work is fine... days seem so short when there is so much to do. I got my much needed break this weekend. Sunny days and apple picking. Slow mornings and a bicycle trip to a field of daisies. Just perfect!

Annual Sunflowers

Middle August and those big fat beautiful sunflowers are open. We hit the field briefly, on a very sunny and windy day. Not at all ideal for photo session. I might try again one day but I'm sharing a couple of snaps here anyway!

Take a look of  2015 session or 2014 session if you wish :)

Hydrangea

Blooming hydrangea. Beautiful in it's white but I can't wait it to turn brown and even more beautiful in my opinion. August days are slowly passing by while we are busy in everyday routines. School started as we speak and autumn is already knocking on the door. Love the way everything is at the very moment. Happy weekend everyone!!

Midsummer ♥

I can't believe it's already midsummer! Or actually that's over as well....
I still have a few boxes of last summer berries in my refrigerator. Maybe it's the Nordic in me, but I never quite believe summer is really here until June is over and done. After years filled with brief moments of blissful warm followed by week of rain and cold, I just don't trust the season arriving early. But this year it really did. We've been living in wonderful full summer from early May and I couldn't be more thankful for it. We need to get rid of the last year berries soon. One week and my summer holiday will start!!

Working things out today

Forgive me the space between posts. Everything around me is in a whirl... work-wise mainly.
Waking up today on Saturday with no plans whatsoever feels wonderful. I realize spring is long gone and we are living in full Summer although the wind is chill and temperatures low.
Despite the weather I wanted to take a small walk with the girls picking up dandelions and blowing the seeds in the wind... Enjoyed it. It and things like eating dinner together, snuggling, laughing, holding hands and reading books in bed. Working things out.

Bird Cherry Love {plus a Day In the Life video}

Oh my word. Green everywhere, blooming everything... high temperatures are gone but occasional spring rain makes everything so fresh and gives nature a lovely scent. And the fact that it's weekend is making it just perfect. I like being home so much. I enjoy these days of doing nothing, tucked snug in our little house. And lovely little walks between the showers stealing some spring blossoms and enjoying the sun. when it suddenly started to shine!
