Spring
After a very stressful week I decided that today I didn’t care about anything but cutting some hedges.
Phew!
I could confirm today that nobody has broken into my trailer to murder sheep and throw their body parts all over the place.
But I saw two deer bouncing away with their white butts. They ran off when I stepped outside. Aww.
Above is the excuse I had to steal away to the countryside in the middle of the week like this. I got this lovely washboard off eBay from a nice lady who happens to live in the same town where I have my garden. She said it’s at least 40 years old and DDR make. In any case hand washing laundry will be much nicer and easier with this simple tool. Yay!
Frosty datscha weekend
One of many reasons why I like my stove is that its lower air vent looks like a piggy snout. See this slightly enhanced photo:
(Mum, do not look at the lower right corner of the picture! I just noticed that the container with twigs for starting the fire is really dirty. Oops …)
Surprise painting at the trailer
The weather was bizarrely warm and dry last Sunday and Monday, so I could paint the second layer on the new wall of my trailer.
I also painted the windowsills green, and now they look less offensive.
So now it’s all done!
All the leaves have fallen off the trees, so the garden is a bit less cozy now. I put up a bird feeder and Meisenknödel for the birdies. The cashier lady at the Netto store clearly thought it was nice of me to buy bird food, as she gave me that special “aww, you’re buying bird food” kind of smile. :o)
The birdies (great tits, blue tits and even a jay) came right away and started eating, but they are still very shy, and I have no window facing the plum tree where I put the feeder, so I couldn’t get any birdie photos.
I’m a bit sad that the food has probably run out already and I can only replenish it next weekend. :3
I should have taken photos in my greenhouse, too, because the stuff I’m growing there is doing pretty good.
Weird flowers and other photos from my trailer
Okay, if you didn’t believe my drawings last week … Here is photographic evidence!
Some weird flowers that grew in my garden.
