Today is the first day of summer. May was left behind. But before I plunge into summer life, I want to remember what this spring was like.
01. Snow and frost
Probably the main topic is weather. Reading what authors from other countries write, I realised that the weather this spring had many surprises for everyone. The heat was abruptly replaced by frosts and vice versa. My poor plants couldn't figure out what they were supposed to do. Bloom? Not bloom?
02. Seedling in the room
All this completely excluded the cultivation of seedlings not only on the street, but even in my unheated greenhouse. I had to sacrifice one room to do it in the house. Fortunately, I don't grow many plants. Therefore, two old terrariums have coped with the role of mini greenhouses.
03. Old Pond traditional visit
Of course I couldn't miss it. This place changes every season, but it's always beautiful. Here I restore my mental balance and rest. You can sit in the arbour and drink coffee. You can wander along the paths among the trees. You can just look at the water.
04. Humanitarian food for dogs and cats
The war has significantly worsened the financial situation. It's not surprising. Therefore, the help from our English friends was an unexpected pleasant surprise and a huge support. Thanks to this, I was able to relax a bit and redirect resources to the purchase of tick drugs, which is very important in the summer.
05. Repair in the house
I also continued my repair work. It drags on infinitely slowly, because I do everything myself. Fortunately, modern materials make work much easier.
06. Home cleaning
When there are 15 dogs in your house, there are inevitably problems with the cleanliness of the furniture. Fortunately, it's easy to solve in a country house. I just took the old sofa apart, took it outside and washed it with a pressure washer. Then the sun did its job, which dried everything well. Of course, sooner or later I'll have to think about replacing the fabric, but so far the problem is solved.
07. Garden design
I also paid some attention to decorating the garden. I really like different garden lighting and garden sculptures. But the large number of animals somewhat complicates this. So I just set aside a small piece of the garden for my hobbies.
08. Garden update
This is probably my last attempt to grow strawberries in my garden...
9.Little chicks
Of course, the appearance of chicks is one of the sweetest and most touching events of spring
10.New fridge
Breakdown of household appliances is always unpleasant. But nothing is eternal... I had to change the refrigerator
