Weekly Photo Challenge: Good Morning!

My mornings – when the weekend finally is here – are usually Good…especially when the sun is shining in there is a smile on my face. I walk slowly through the rooms, watering my flowers. Alone up and awake. Beautiful silence.

A couple of hours later, I hear my daughter’s bare feet in the stairs. Immediately two tails start drumming heavily…so, she says hello and picks up Mille or Totti and sits talking for a while – to both of them.  They all agree on the fact that life’s worth living…

Then I smile, open the door and walk out into my garden, shoes on my feet now,  to find some herbs and maybe some last flowers to put on the table. Not much is left …and frost has turned green into red and yellow. It’s a good morning.

Weekly photo challenge: Fresh

Last week my two children, son and daughter, both got positive answers to their applies for university. Both got what they wanted and their first rated universities – my son will study to become a graphic designer and my daughter to become a dentist.

Fresh, wonderful news – and cheers were made in fresh, sparkling champagne, of course!

Iris

Nu blommar både Paradisbuske och irisar – en ljuvlig tid i trädgården.

This week I enjoy my irises – their colour and grace is a feast for the eyes.

At the front of the house the Beauty bush (Paradise bush in Swedish! I do not know the English word ) is lavishly full of pink flowers. But, on the other side of the house the flower bed is vibrantly blue with irises.

Emmas kimono och iris 025När det gäller irisar tycker jag mest om när själva blomman inte är för stor. Särskilt förtjust är jag i den sort som har tigrerade gyllene mönster.

I love the species with not so big flowers, because the golden brown pattern on the petals enhance their beauty.

When dusk is approaching, the flowers grow even more alive and vibrant.

And soon it will be dark…but they are still glowing – the irises. Iridescent.
