Stinging nettels




Steam them, chop them and put them in your bread. They are very tasty.

Some days the drawings just flow, and I don´t have to think. These are the best days.
And some days I have to struggle and try very hard.
Then it is better to re pot some plants and drink a extra cup of coffee.

Sweet mild May


I planted all the vegetables today, including these extremely pink beans.



She had her first barefoot walk this year.


and we went biking


by the bay


 

We found these flowers on the beach. I find them very beautiful. 
I am not sure what kind of flower it is, some kind of anemone perhaps?

It´s time to start eating wild food, like ramp, nettle and ground elder. More about this later.

I found this inspiring site yesterday and I especially like this place.

A fine lady

 



we took her home by train, four hours sleeping in a box. Now she is waiting for a few friends to arrive.
Say hello to the first white flowers on the cherry plum tree.

Tomatoes





The tomato plants are everywhere.

I have a lot of work and it is a good thing, but I also find it difficult to stay indoors, because now finally spring is here.

Look at this little girl, she is running around playing and is not at all a baby any more. beautiful Frida

Let's build something!






It has been raining, raining and raining. But we managed to make a chicken run anyway, or J and dad did it. It is my birthday present, and I love it. 
I planted these beans.
Our biggest challenge in the vegetable garden is the amount of sand in the ground. This was once a bay. I guess we need to water A LOT.
