I am going to write a series of blogs from our cabin. And I'll start with roses.
The cabin is situated alone in the forest, and it has always been only nature there. Trees, wild flowers and blueberries. A few years ago I decided to start a few flower beds, mostly for bulbs in the spring and for herbs and roses during the summer. We always travel alot during the summer months, which means that the cain lives its own life. And there are no one there to water the beds. Therefore I never know from year to year if there will be many roses.
We arrived at the cain one afternoon last week, and - oh my! The roses were in full bloom. Hundreds of them. And I could never get enough :-) I enjoyed the colours, the smell, the insects making themselves drunk on rose nectar. I picket bouquets and I shot photos.
So far I only have one flower bed, but Terje and I have started to work on the next one. I have collected stones and Terje has made a wall of them to prevent the soil from just sliding down the steep hillside. I am now collecting soil to fill the bed, and as soon as it is filled I can plant more roses. More roses which means more cabin delight.
