My calendar is full these days – and I guess it’s the same with you… I have great difficulties in keeping up with everything.

Babysitting, and going with my son and the grandchildren to see a puppet theatre…
…then to a nunnery and castle for a great exhibition of Ukrainian quilt art.


As I have close contacts with Ukrainian friends, I admire their art, their resilience and ingenuity.




We had three major birthdays too in May!
I also met an Alien…


…and realized how much I love stripes…
…and beautiful skies!
You get the idea? My mind is reeling with thousands of things. We also have guests living here for some days. Even if I love having all these events around, deep down I am a person who loves silence and being on my own, doing my own things. I could easily live alone in a cottage – with a dog or cat.
Could you?



Yes, I could live alone in a cottage, especially with views like these. Thanks for a lovely tour of the countryside, art, aliens, and zebra butts. 😄
What a beautiful post! Your calendar was filled with fun filled experiences. Family time is the best and the Ukrainian quilt art is amazing. I agree with you about quiet time. Yes, I could live alone in a cottage with a dog.
Thank you, Beth – good to know I am not alone…
Our calendar is fuller then other years.. somehow this year kids want to travel around and we have parties to visit 🙂
Phew, glad my own children are grown up now – but now it is the grandchildren that wants some attention!
🙂 Nice! Grandchildren – i’ve hear it’s the best! You can spoil them and have no responsibility for what they wear, education etc 🙂
Haha, in Sweden we say grandchildren is the dessert in life!
