I woke up earlier than expected and even though it wasn’t even 8 o’clock yet, it was already 20 degrees Celsius outside. The weather is worrying me, I can’t not mention it here. It’s impossible for me to simply enjoy this summer weather. It bothers me that we haven’t seen a drop of rain for weeks now and the temperature stays above 25 degrees. It’s the Netherlands! Where are my mild and rainy summers?
On the other hand, our garden is a paradise for insects and birds. It’s a bit wild and many plants and flowers are self-seeded. It makes me happy to look at it and to be in it. The buzzing is my constant companion when I’m outside and it’s the most joyous sound.
I’ve also sowed some courgettes, French beans, cucumbers and herbs and I’m watching then grow every day and think about a bigger garden and more stuff I could grow myself. But for now I’m happy with what we have, although I’ll never stop dreaming about a house in Italian hills. Maybe someday…
How are you doing this Sunday?
