The sky is grey, and I am dreaming of summer evenings,
Taivas on harmaa ja unelmoin kesäilloista,


windowsills full of geraniums,
pelargonioista ikkunalaudan täydeltä,

doing up the playhouse,
leikkimökkiprojektista,

hanging out the washing in the summer breeze,
pyykinkuivatuksesta kesätuulessa,

cool, homemade lemonade in the garden,
kylmästä, itsetehdystä sitruunalimonaadista pihalla nautittuna,

days out,
päiväretkistä,

summer flowers,
kesäkukista,


and picking a few for the kitchen table.
ja muutaman poimimisesta keittiön pöydälle.

Ohh I´m dreaming with you!!! Here we have sooo bad weather ! It´s rainy and very stormy!! The roof has lost 3 shingels and my mom called me yesterday from Germany that they have a sunny day with 19 *Celsius!!! The people outside wearing T-shirts and make barbeque:(( hello Mr. Sun did you forget Denmark? When I look at your dreamy pictures, I must think at my messy garden with all the leaves and branches, there´s sooo much work to do!!! And at the moment I´m not in the mood to work in the wet cold garden!!But when the sun comes out I will send you a big pice of it:))).... Take care..*Marie*

Tante Freddy - Of course that would be ok, thank you! I can't wait for the summer to come! Take care, x

Vintage Living - Välillä tulee ihan mahdoton lämpimän ja vihreän kaipuu, kuten sullakin oli tässä lähiaikoina postauksen otsikkona. Kaupungin ytimessä ei kyllä koskaan vaikuttaneet vuodenajat niin paljon omaan olemiseen hyvässä ja pahassa, niin kliseeltä kuin se tuntuukin!

Marie - Luckily you bring a big piece of the sun by just throwing such beautiful comments no matter what the weather is out there :). Here it seems to snow down wet slush one day and look green the next. Waiting for an early spring! And yes, it gets too wet and cold in between to do anything major in the garden, although I'd be itching to get my hands dirty to get some practice :)

Alin kuva aivan hurmaava! Monta muutakin unelmaa noissa tosiaan. Yksi pienisuuri haaveeni on ollut aina riippukeinu. Nyt olis piha, mutta kun ei yhtään puuta sillalailla että riippukeinun niihin saisi.

What beautiful pictures. The gardens and flowers remind me of many of the gardens we have seen this week as we have travelled around on a late summer holiday in southern Australia.

Näitä kuvia taidankin palata katselemaan lähipäivinä aina kun sataa!!

Oi kesä. Tulisit jo!

Minä palasin juuri Pariisin keväisistä tunnelmista. Ei hassumpaa sekään.

What a lovely post and gorgeous pictures!I agree with you, we certainly need the summer now.
Ireland has had grey skies for a while (well the sun shows its face every now and then) - and I just want to sit on my deck and enjoy the sunshine!
Heres to summer! (Holding up a Cocktail...)
