This weekend..
This weekend, I worked in my new garden. My dream has come true; I finally have a garden big enough, so I have space for a vegetable garden! I made two beds next to our home made compost container, and after that I started paving the ground in front of the container, just with some old tiles and stones I found in the garden. I worked in the mud and rain, but I just didn't care!The first veggies I've planted are some leeks and cabbage. Insight my kitchen the tomatoes, peppers, and eggplants I sowed are growing well. I also have sown some peas in the little conserveratory, they already are showing their little heads above the ground!

Patience.....
I can't wait to get started in my new garden. There's a small glass house too, so slowly I can start to grow my own veggies!!! Yeah!

Senbazuru
Today I read the lovely blog Tussenpozen, where I found below picture of a senbazuru.
The senbazuru comes from an ancient Japanese legend that says a wish will be granted to anyone who folds 1000 paper cranes. Today, senbazuru are given as good luck wishes at weddings and births or hung in the home. Often, they will be given to loved ones in the hospital, to wish them a speedy recovery.
Here you can see how to make one. I can't wait to get started!

Comfort food
Yesterday we received the sad news our friend Arjan passed away.
The only comforting thing for me to do when such sad news arrives is to cook and cook and cook..
I made 5 extra jars of my beloved strawberry-rhubarb jam and a slow cooked coq au vin.
I will practice Phowa for the next 48 days.

Wintersun
Although right now it looks very dark outside due to a heavy storm, last week it was the first time I sensed a breeze of spring in the air. Just love nature's treat of bright light in winter.
