Ready or not, here it comes! It’s time for Knut to put the skis away, and return to the tractor, and time for me to put the sewing down, and start gardening. Who am I kidding? Of course I’ll keep sewing, and Knut won’t ski, but he will roller-ski, and bike and run. We won’t be able to devote as much time as we would like, but it’s just the ebb and flow of things.
Knut has started working a lot again, although he has been home in the evenings, and was able to come by and rescue David the other day as he was supposed to take a nap, but ended up doing some sort of acrobatics from the top bunk, and tried to squeeze between the bunk beds and the wall. His little body fit, but his head didn’t, so there he was, with a squished head, and the bunk beds were much to heavy for me to move. So Knut stopped by and rescued us from that situation.
It rained yesterday, and although we’ve had nice weather before then, it was as though this rain woke up all of the grass, because it almost immediately turned green. It hasn’t needed a good mow yet, but I’m sure it won’t be long. Although we love our big lawn, I must admit that I think Knut is counting down the days until David is old enough to run the riding lawn mower himself. Silje too, for that matter. I remember when we first moved into this house, I thought we should give it a name. You know, like they do in England. Houses have names there. Knut came up with : “Lotsamowin”.
This morning, when Knut walked Silje out to the bus, looked what he brought me back from the front flower bed:
I believe daffodils are my favorite garden flower, and since we’re finally in our permanent home, I planted a few of these bulbs near the tulips in the front flower bed last fall. I’m not sure why the daffodils are growing in so short, though. I planted them at the depth required, but they are blossoming at such a short height. The tulip leaves are growing, but there are no buds yet. The tulip leaves, though, are already taller than the daffodils.
You see my window with all the finger prints? We’re a kid-friendly home if you couldn’t tell. I suppose that should serve as a reminder to me that I should start on spring cleaning. I’m hoping to catch up to regular cleaning first, I guess! Speaking of which…
