Niin monta vihreää

I had a miserable week, going from sick to sicker to terrified (overreacting). I visited the doctor twice and on many days didn't make it beyond our back yard. Fortunately it is such a lovely one! What is best about it is that most of it grows wild, and you can really see that it used to be only forest. There is more blueberry than grass, and it looks like there will be plenty of picking to do in July unless nightly frost bites the flowers. We have all three fir trees that grow naturally in Finland: pine (mänty), spruce (kuusi), and juniper (kataja) - and squirrels that come after the abundant cones. I think the tree with the white flowers is cherry, planted by someone who lived here in the past. And yes, we had rhubarb pie this week.

What is best about spring (my spring at least), is that there are so many shades of green. Summertime is much more monotone.
