Easter

This Easter I went to see one of the local fires on Saturday evening. It was kind of windy, so the fire spread to the near environment, for example to a tree nearby pictured below. Also the fire department arrived but fortunately they didn't need to act. 

Rest of the Easter I have been in bed suffering a spring flue, drinking a lot of tee and watched old Desperate Housewives. The pictures above presents some Easter details here at home. 

Say Hello to the Green Thumb

Two weeks ago. A beautiful sunset. In the countryside of Western Finland...

... with a colorful sky...

... a cozy, warming fire...

... and a rising half moon.

About a week ago I decided to give a try on growing herbs. I was actually a tiny bit afraid they would never start growing since the days are so short and dark this time of the year. But surprisingly - at least what i think is basil - started growing after a few days and now after more than a week the rosemary and mint started growing. I have never really considered myself as a "green thumb" and usually all flowers I sometimes had, died quickly... but maybe I have grown more adult when growing herbs etc. has become interesting :D

Walpurgis Night

Vappu 2012. In Sweden they have bonfires at Walpurgis Night, and for me it felt just like Midsummer, because I'm not used to go watching bonfires for this celebration.
