Rainy Days Happen Too

Hello, dears! Thanks for all your wishes  for my good health :) I'm better now physically and mentally. I was a little disappointed as the full Moon didn't charge me with strength and energy as usually.  May be the weather wasn't as good, because the days kept on switching from sunny and warm to rainy. Yesterday was so gloomy and wet, but today it's sunny and the sky is clear. Now I look forward to seeing what happens tomorrow, may be the rain fall again. 
Being away from blogging for a while I decided to take the snaps of what I was up to yesterday, because the rest of the week wasn't remarkable. Here comes the cloudy sky. I was not up to it, but I was standing under it, amazed by the force which was accumulated up there. 
 My dear lettuce however was feeling well, since it was gaining more juice into its leaves. You can see that the soil wasn't able to soak such amount of water anymore as it never dried in the past three weeks. I thought that all my small plants will simply rotten, but they seem keep up fine after all.
 Another treasure from my parents' dacha - fennel. I do love different herbs, so I hope that this fellow will be able to make it to a fully grown plant, if the sun will be merciful in March.
 Yesterday I finally threw out the roses my D gifted for V's day. No, actually I didn't threw all of their parts and left these beautiful petals. I'm drying them now, having no idea for what purpose :) I simply like their look and color.
I took that picture of the lettuce in the morning, and in the evening I made a simple salad out of it with beans and garden grown green onion. The salad was almost purely made of our own veggies, if consider that I used few beans of our harvest too. My Mum suggested me to make such salad with a very simple dressing consisting of vinegar, olive oil and some herbs. You can also add mustard, but I preferred to go without it. I liked the salad, my D didn't eat it, he doesn't like the taste of lettuce anyway. Rest of the family tried it, but no feedback so far :) 

Me and my D are planning to have a short trip somewhere. I really want it, got tried of the city and I hope this dream will come true.
The Crochet Lounge meet didn't happen last Sunday, and we are planning to meet this Sunday, I hope for sure this time. It appears a little more difficult as it seemed in the beginning, but we will break through. I have reached 99 followers so far, and my D promised that we would celebrate when I reach 100 :) Isn't he sweet? Thanks to all of you, dears, who actually make my blogging possible and so much enjoyable.
Have a lovely day! Just two more days of work, and then a weekend:) Yey!

  1. Welcome back ! Good that you not only cook but grow your food:) I like those green soft fennel, it tastes good when eaten raw than the dried ones that we get in the shop.
    Throwing the flowers is hard thing to do. Raj had sent me a bouquet on my Birthday before marriage and we were getting married 4 days after. But my parents did not feel like throwing it off. It was when we came 10 days after our honeymoon to my parent's place for a ceremony that Raj then himself threw it off:)
    I will suggest you to keep the petals in a hard book. They can be used as embellishments on greeting cards/paper craft.
    Waiting to see your blog reach 100 count ( being a little selfish here, actually looking forward for a giveaway from you ;) you and Mr. D gets to enjoy, what about your loyal blogger friends ?:)

  5. Great garden! I have a 'black thumb' and anything I attempt to grow, dies. I always tell people I'm good at growing mold & weeds. lol

    1. Never heard of a "black thumb" , but sounds funny in some way. I think that you may be have to choose some particular plants to grow, which suit your horoscope for example :)

  6. I do hope you're back to 100%, SOON, Anna. AND, that you get your 100th follower, too! I love that you can eat things you've grown...our soil is so bad here, not much good comes from it. I certainly can't grow vegetables, sadly. Missed your post underneath this one last week, too...had a rough week. Hope that your Crochet Lounge is a hit - nothing better than sitting and creating with friends. Where do you meet????? Happy Thursday - looking forward to the weekend, right along with you! XOXO Tanya

  11. Dreary weather sure doesn't help with the mental side of things if you are already feeling a bit unwell physically. Sure hope things are looking up now. So nice that you are able to grow your own veggies and make a lovely salad, healthy salad. We've had yucky, dusty weather today so I've been inside. Should have cleaned but instead I've been catching up with blog friends after being away for a week. Take care ! Tammy
