Mulla alko kesa / Summer started for me

Nyt on siivoukset tehty. Lattiat on luututtu, viimeisetkin eiliselta jaaneet suursiivoukseen liittyvat asiat on hoidettu. Pihalla on lakaistu, puutarhakalusteet pesty siitepolysta (ties kuinka monennen kerran) ja aurinkovarjokin on tuotu ulos. Nyt puuttuu enaa kukkaset, yrtit, tomaatit. Kaiken touhuamisen jalkeen olikin kiva syoda jaatelot pihalla. Tasta alkaa siis kesa.
Jonkunlainen sailytyssysteemi pitaisi keksia ulkotuolien paallysteille. Voisihan sita ostaa sellaisen boksin tuonne ulos mutta sille ei suoraansanottuna ole pikkuruisella patiollamme tilaa. Sisalla pihan puolen lahella ei ole paikkaa mihin ne voisi pistaa. Yhteen nurkkaan ne voisi kasata mutta rakkaat tyttaremme tulisivat kayttamaan niita majanrakennuspalikoina ja ne tulisivat olemaan joka paiva, monta kertaa paivassa ympari olohuonetta ja kukas muukaan niita kerailee paikoilleen kuin mina. Eli sekaan ajatus ei kamalasti innosta. Eika niita viitsi lahtea hirvean kaukaan aina tarvittaessa (paivittain) hakemaan.
Huomenna meille tulee vieraita Suomesta. Ovat tosin vain lapikulkumatkalla ja viipyvat vain pari yota. Kivaa kuitenkin. Varsinkin kun tilaamani kankaat saapuvat vieraiden mukana. :D JEEEE! Viela ihanampaa on kuitenkin saada nama vieraat tanne. Luvattoman kauan on mennyt kun ollaan viimeeksi nahty.

Now everything is clean and tidy. Floors have been washed and the remaining items on the cleaning list from yesterday have been done. The patio has been swept and the patio furniture has been washed out of polen again (I've lot count how many times already) and the sunbrella has been brought out. Now I'm just missing the flowers, herbs, tomatoes. After all the work it was lovely to enjoy ice creams outside. This is the start of summer.
I need to come up with some kind of storage system for all the patio chair cushions. We could buy one of those boxes for the patio to hold them but there's no room for one. Inside I don't really have any place to keep them either. There's a corner next to the patio door that I could stack them but our dear daughter will use those cushions to build houses and jump and climb on. Also those cushions would end up every day, many times a day around the lounge and who else is the one collectiong them up than me. That doesn't sound appealing to me either. And I do not want to take them in and out of the basement everyday.
Tomorrow we'll get visitors from Finland. They are only here for few nights on their way to warmer climate. But's it's lovely anyway. Especially as they are bringing me the fabric I ordered from Finland. :D YAY! But honestly it's even more wonderful to get these people here as it's been forever since we last saw.
