Waiting for a pie

The rhubarbs are coming up. I think we'll soon have enough for a nice pie.

What's in it?

As I know what grows in my pots, I decided to use my new herb labels as decorations.

An early visitor

This male pheasant visits our garden in early mornings. It makes a bit of a noise but as it is really beautiful, we don't mind. I don't know whether it is good or bad for the garden to have pheasants in it, let's see what happens.

Not much use

The colourful light ball chains have been in every other blog during the last year. I kind of thought that I wouldn't buy these myself but then I saw a chain with all my favourite pastel colours. The funny thing with these chains is that they look better when the lights are not on and when the lights are on they don't give much light. Well, anyway, now we have this useless but very pretty chain of lights decorating our living room at Vårkulla. Don't try this at home unless you have too much money and don't care whether lights lighten up the room or not.

Eastern realism

Our newest cigarette tin is from Sarajevo - a factory is a factory, there is no reason to beautify it. But I like the colours!

Spring flowers

Lilac branches and orange tulips, lovely! I put the flowers out today hoping they will last till next Friday and I can take them in again for the weekend. And I love the old Kockum pitcher as a flower vase. Especially tulips look good in it.

Happy First of May!

It's a beautiful sunny morning, let's hope the whole day will be perfect.
