et voilà : our dinner, that was sooo special, because every oh so tiny sugar pea or carrot or red beet or baby potatoe, yes every little thing in that tray is something that we sowed or planted and that the sun and the rain took care of and that our hands harvested.the girls favourites were the sweet little carrots, the sweet tasting potatoes and the soft zucchini ▪ food like that is prepared, enjoyed and savoured much differently and way more intense here than bought food and thats what i love...the appreciation of my kids towards food, towards trying new veggies or trying veggies again that didn't appeal to them for a long time {like zucchini in our case} ▪and even though our dishes are much simpler and much more basic and not as fancy looking as in johnna's @foxmeetsbear beautiful cookbook {you just want to do food photography after seeing these amazing photographs} i think what is in common is our appreciation and excitment for nature and its wonderful gifts that nourish us.not just our bellies, but our soul as well as we grow our own food or as we go out and forage the richness nature is offering to us....can't wait to actually read a bit more in it.such a great work you created there my dear 😙

so much gardening abundance...so many firsttime picked veggies of this summer season, so much on this table today that made my heart rejoice ▪ today is ☀summer solistice☀ and we used that long day to the fullest...not at the field as i thought first, but at the lake with friends cooling off after a hot summer day we spent under the sun all day long...some days go different than planned, but i learned over the years that if we surrender and open our hearts for the spontaneous, new and inviting moments and people in our lifes, all we receive is joy and blessings.its like with the seasons: they have their own rhythm and flow. and are different every year.if we are open to them, careful watcher and listener they teach us and bless us immensely....thats my wish for myself and for those of you who want, this summer ! ...happy #summersolstice #midsommar ▪ also: look johnna @foxmeetsbear what got here 🙊🙆: your incredible beautiful cook book.thank you so much my friend for a true eye candy ♡

snacking on the first ripe sweat peas...their favourite veggie...and hearing if the geese are far away enough so that we can safely find our way out ▪ another one from yesterday when we all found calm and rest in the field with gardening after lots of program and a tight schedule before.today went different.busy, busy and busy and i realized a calm closure of the day, like yesterday in the field/garden, makes such a difference...nature is grounding, soothing and relaxing...tomorrow we'll be outside again just before bed...the magic of the evening hours outside...good nighty everyone 🌙⭐

the girls picked their favourite items out of the "surprise box" from @babyboxwinzigundklein tonight and when i asked them why they chose these, the answer was clear and simple: soooo soft, something we can play with and use as well 😉😄, well of course. ▪this morning i was cleaning the house for hours. several floors while sweating like crazy because of summer temperatures here and i was just thinking if someone would ask me what gift i would like for the birth of our baby to come, all i could think of was a cleaning person, ohhhh yes.please 🙈😅▪ sissi's @hebammesissirasche wonderful boxes with finest natural items for the newborns are such a great gift idea too i think.all of the brands and items are adorable and either from an organic brand or handknitted.so you know that gifted baby or your own little one will be wrapped in finest cozy items...just had to introduce and support her wonderful small business here, because i think its so so great and for sure worth to have a look at the different boxes and brands on her website/webshop.
