Britt-Arnhild's House in the Woods

The little fig tree and more

@brittarnhild

Last year I bought a tiny little fig tree. It stayed in my green house all summer, and far into autumn. When cold night came, with darkness and frost, the little tree got a new home, down in our basement. There it has slept all through the winter, waking upo a few weeks ago, curiously starting to grow her light green leaves. 

Today the tree, which has grown quite a lot since last spring, moved back up to her summer residence, the green house. From there she will discover the new summer, another year in her young life. She will grow and hopefully make fruits.

I will be there to water her, to fertilize her, to whisper words of love into her skin.

 

 

 

Birthday lunch in the green house

@brittarnhild

Finally the day is here.
60 years today since  I was born into this world.

 

The big party was on Saturday.
Today Leander will come for a pancake dinner, but at lunch time I am all by myself, in the green house

 

 

Spring is in the air

@brittarnhild

Finally, finally, finally, the air smells of spring, and I had my first (very short) working session in the green house today.

 

 

 

Soon to be 60

@brittarnhild

On the 10th of April, Tuesday next week, I am turning 60.
Today I got my first pair of reading and screen glasses.

I think I like them :-)

 

I also got the first (will there be more?) bouquet of anniversary flowers.

 

Terje (and I) is busy preparing for the celebrations, which will take place on Saturday.

I am back home in Norway, with a fast working internet again, and hope to share with you some Italian tales the coming days.
