Cowslips are one of my favorite childhood flowers. We don't have them here, but I'm always happy to find them somewhere on our walks in the forest quarter. I also like to collect pictures of dreamy homes like the one on the second picture. Pretty isolated houses can be so inspiring!
Yesterday I finally prepared the lowers beds and planted the zucchini seedlings. The weather is very moody, but such comfortable temperatures! Usually it is either cold or hot and we do not have much in between, but this year is different in many ways and I enjoy it!
We have magpie children in our garden. They are so playful and nosy! To watch them is utterly entertaining! I observed one of them pluck the single blossom of a wild red poppy on the slope at the end of our property, while the other magpie child immediately stole a part of the blossom from its beak and played with it. Both then ran wildly around in circles with the red blossom parts in their beaks until they got bored.
At the end of winter I placed all remaining walnuts, that I collected in autumn, for the birds under the spruce. Little by little they disappeared one after the other. Then I saw one of the magpies bury a nut in the meadow under the birch trees. I did not know that they hide their food to eat it later. Later I read that they can remember their hiding places better than squirrels. Maybe that is also the explanation for the little nut tree that suddenly appeared behind the greenhouse.
