Juuli on saabunud aga ilm ikka veel pigem sügisene või siis varakevadine - külm ja vihmane. Millal küll suvi saabub? Piltidel on kastanipuu õied (Castanea ) ja pidulaud, mida kaunistab feta-spinati quiche, minu lemmikud pojengid (Paeoniaceae) ning peedi-naadi pasta.
Saabus ka minu kaua oodatud pakike Kanadast! Oi aga rõõm oli suur kui see lõpuks kohal oli :) Seal oli imepehme latte toonides ja spetsiaalselt minule kedratud alpaka lõng, inuiitide tee, vahtrasiirupi täidisega sokolaadikommid ja Yanic'i enda käsitööna valminud lapitehnikas tassialus, millel on kujutatud Kanada roosi. Nii vahva on saada pakki ja mida kaugemalt see tuleb seda erilisem see tundub :) Olen väga rahul, et sellisest vahetusest osa võtsin ja võimaluse korral teen seda veelgi :) Aitäh veelkord, Yanic :)

July has arrived but the weather is still rather autumn- or springlike - cold and rainy. Oh, when will the summer arrive..? On the pictures there are chestnut (Castanea) blossoms and a party table with feta-spinach quiche, my favourite peonies (Paeoniaceae) and beet-ground elder pasta decorating it.
Also, my long-awaited snail-mail from Canada arrived! Oh the joy when it was finally here :) There were wonderfully soft alpaca yarn hand spun especially for me, teas crafted by Inuits, maple-cream stuffed chocolates, and hand-crafted by Yanic herself a quilted "mug rug" with a picture of a Canadian wild rose on it. It was so great to receive a package and the farther it's from, the more special it feels :) I am very happy to have taken part in such wonderful exchange and if possible, would do it again :) Thank you again, Yanic :)

Juuni alguses õitsesid kõik kaunimad valgeõielised suvekuulutajad: harilik toomingas ( Prunus padus ), harilik maikelluke ( Convallaria majalis ) ja aed-õunapuu ( Malus domestica ).
Sellel ajal võtsin ka osa toredast pakivahetusest: A butterfly in my hair blogis toimus aadressite vahetus ja pakivahetuse teemaks oli "Oma maa/riik". Minu vahetuspartneriks sai loosi tahtel Yanic Kanadast. Nüüd, kui kindlalt tean, et tal minu üllatus käes, siis näitan ka oma blogis, mida toredat talle saatsin Eestist. Yanic kajastas meie vahetust ka oma blogis FamilyFaithFoodFabric. Tõeliselt tore oli sellisest aktsioonist osa võtta, killukest Eestit tutvustada ja veidi lähemalt tuttavaks saada inimesega, kes elab hoopis teisel pool maakera :) Oma pakki ma veel ootan, põnevus on suur! Nüüd aga kiirustame Võidupüha tähistama :)

In the beginning of June the prettiest white petal harbingers of summer were blooming: bird cherry ( Prunus padus ), lily of the valley ( Convallaria majalis ) and apple tree ( Malus domestica ).
During that time I also took part of a great snail-mail exchange by A butterfly in my hair blog and the theme was "From YOUR country". My exchange-partner was Yanic from Canada. Now that I'm sure she got the package I can show what she received from Estonia. Yanic also reflected our exchange in her blog FamilyFaithFoodFabric. It was really great to take part of this swap, to introduce a tiny piece of Estonia and to become acquainted with the people living on the other side of our planet :) I'm still waiting with excitement for my package to arrive! But now we have to hurry to celebrate Victory Day!
