We woke to a perfect Sunday, mild, quiet and no program ahead of us. The three of us, me, Marta and Terje, had breakfast, and then we decided for a walk in our forest. Packed a backpack with water bottles, coffee and sweet buns from the freezer and started. Marta wasn't too motivated for the hike, she would rather sit in front of the television, which we of course wouldn't allow on such a nice day. But we hadn't walked long before we found the first ripe blueberries, and a smile broadened on her face. She loves wild berries, and of course the first ones of the season taste especially sweet. She found a straw and started to collect. It is a bit to early for berries here in Trondheim, but we were able to find enough to help her fill her straw.
I love the summer forest with all different kinds of wild flowers. I picked a huge boquet for my garden table, and it looked perfect when my sister in law and her two kids came got bbq later in the day. (Mmmm, grilled salmon with fresh picked herbs and a ruccola salad from the garden - no gourmet restaurant can make better food. And a dessert with last years currants - too early still for this years, and a vanilla sause)
But our hike went on. I especially love to hike on narrow and dark paths like the one Terje and Marta are hiking on in the photo.
A little later we were lucky and found some wild strawberries, another treat for Marta.
The Sunday morning hike was a perfect start for hours in the garden. First garden work, then a barbeque. Tomorrow is workday again, but the weather forcast has promised very good weather, so the afternoon will be spent in the garden.
