Updatare din interior:
- din bucatarie : aceste cirese
Update from inside :
- from the kitchen : these cherries
s-au transformat intr-o delicatesa pentru zilele reci de iarna
became these delicacies for the winter:
iar aceste cirese negre
and these black cherries
(ce dezastru !! )
( what a mess !! )
au devenit Cherry Compote ( sunt o mare fana a retetelor Veronicai )
sau o vedere mai buna ;)...Gustoase....in cerealele de dimineata sau pe o felie prajita de piine de casa ca o gustare dulce seara
or a better view ;) Yummy ....on breakfast cereals or on a toasted slice of homemade bread in the evening as a sweet snack
Update din studio-ul meu :
Snip-snip ;). Imi incerc mina pentru prima data in tehnica rag-quilt
Update from my studio :
Snip-snip ;) : I'm trying my hand for the first time in rag-quilt technique
si sunt mai mult decit incintata de foarfeca cu arc Fiskars....ba chiar o ador pentru ajutorul dat !
and I'm more than pleased with the Fiskars snipper scissors...I LOVE THEM !
Studio-ul meu acum arata asa...Am fost nevoita sa aduc in prim-planul de lucru vechea masina de cusut Pfaff, un adevarat cal de forta . Sunt pe veci si iremediabil indragostita de ea....:D
Ador masinile de cusut vechi, metalice....am doua modele noi, moderne si doua modele vechi, antice. Intr-o zi am sa va spun povestea fiecaruia....Deh, amintiri....
My studio looks like this now. Have to bring back in the "war" front lines my workhorse antique Pfaff of which I'm deeply and irremediably in love...:D
I love old metallic sewing-machines....I have 2 oldies and 2 modern ones, someday I will tell you the story of each. Duh, memories....
Update din gradina.
Aici este mult...mult verde, multe fructe, multa munca si multe de povestit...
Mult verde :
Update from the garden .
Here is more...more green , more fruits, more to work, more to tell...
more green :
Rosiile din mini-solarii o duc bine. Urmez, ca in fiecare an, metoda "fara frunze la baza" pentru o mai buna productie....stiu ca arata cam chele dar asteptati si o sa vedeti mai tirziu rezultatele ;)
The mini-solarium inside tomatoes are still ok . I am just following my "no bottom leaves" method for better production... kind of bald but...just wait and see later. ;)
Unele din ele deja poarta fruct...chiar un miracol la ora aceasta dupa ce au trecut prin marele inghet care mi-a atins si sufletul meu....diferite soiuri, unele pentru sosuri altele pentru mincat...unele mari altele mici...unele rotunde altele tuguiate....
Some tomatoes are already bearing fruits ....kind of miracle after that big frost the frozen even my heart....different kinds , some for sauces or some for eating....big or small , round or pointed....
Totusi exista o diferenta enorma intre plantele de rosii. In imaginea din stinga sunt rosiile crescute de mine din seminte ( care au rezistat inghetului ascunse sub sticlele de plastic ) iar in imaginea din dreapta sunt rosiile cumparate rasaduri din piata. Ce ziceti, se vede diferenta ?
Am sapat doua santuri printre ele pentru o udare mai buna. Mai convenient pentru mine, mai sanatos pentru ele .
Still there is a major difference between the plants . In the left are my own raised from seeds plants and in the right are the market-bought seedlings . What do you think ?
I just dig some ditches among them for watering....more convenient for me, more healthier for them.
Afara, cele din "aleea cu rosii " sunt toate rasaduri cumparate din piata. Mici si incete. Lenese. Sper ca vor supravietui dupa toata grindina din ultimele zile....grrr....
Outside on the tomatoe alee are all market-bought seedlings. Small and slow. Hopefully they will survive after all that last days hail .Grrr....
Mai multe fructe :
acum citiva ani am plantat un dud....gindindu-ma la fructele lui viitoare....
More fruits :
I planted a few years ago a mulberry tree....thinking of its future fruits....
Ei bine, a sosit momentul asteptat ! :D
Well...that time arrived ! :D
Si aceasta este mina mea foarte patata de dude :D...nu ma pot abtine de la ele...in fiecare zi, in gradina linga dud, devin din nou copil ....:))
And that's my mulberry stained hand :D I just can't keep myself away from it....each day inthe garden near the mulberry I just become a kid again....:))
dude si cirese negre....un deliciu !
mulberries and black cherries ....what a delight !
o privire peste gradina ( in primul strat se vede usturoiul culcat )
a look over the garden ( in the first sight is the combed down garlic )
si citeva coacaze negre ( ati observat ca toate fructele mentionate de data aceasta sunt...negre ? )
and some blackberries ( did you notice that all mentioned fruits are.. black ? )
Cartofii din cele 3 lazi o duc bine mersi....tin pumnii strinsi pentru ca nesuferitii de popindai sa nu gaseasca calea catre ei. Pentru ca deja visez la un castron mare de cartofi prajiti home-made. Da, mincare junk de casa :))
The barrel potatoes are doing just fine ...keep my fingers crossed for those pocket gophers to not find the way to them ! I'm dreaming of a big bowl of home-made fried-potatoes....home-made junk food :)) Yeah!
Citeva frumuseti care cresc si cresc....sincer, nu stiu ce e acesta , a rasarit pur si simplu din compostul ce l-am pus in strat....banuiesc ca e un pepene rosu.....vom avea destui din astia :D
Some beauty that grow and grow....really I don't know what it is, just raised from the compost that I put on the garden beds...guessing it's a water melon....we've got plenty of them now :D
Si o floare atit de delicata....cu marginile franjurate....ca o fusta de dantela....Puteti ghici ce e ?
And such a delicate flower....with frills around...like a lace skirt.Can you gess what's it ?
este o floare de dovlecel catarator lung....asteptati sa apara fructul....atit de hazliu !
it's a climbing elongated zucchini flower...waiting for the fruits to appear ....hilarious !
si din nou, ca intotdeauna, la finele zilei spun : " - la revedere, gradina, ne vedem miine !"
and again, as always , at the end of day I say : " - bye-bye garden, see you tomorrow !"
dar pe drum ...uite ! visinele mai au putin si sunt coapte ....
but look ! the sour cherries are ripening in a week or so ....
si gutuile urmeaza ...
and the quinces are following....
nu am spus cumva mai la inceput : si multa munca ? :))
didn't I said : and some more work to do ....? :))
