Aitienpaiva / Mother's Day

Tanaan on niin Suomessa kuin taalla USAssakin aitienpaiva. Upean ilman takia me sitten vietettiinkin paiva pihahommissa. Nurmikon leikkuuta, haravointia, oksien leikkaamista, pari puutakin kaadettiin (kuolleita, eika niin hirvean isoja), kaivettiin kuoppia, revittiin ylos kuollut rhodopensas, istutettiin kukkia, kasteltiin niita. Koiruuskin paasi vahan leikkimaan. Reppana viela kymmenenvuotiaanakin ei osaa ottaa iisisti. Meidan koiralla on vaan ON(taysilla) ja OFF nappula. Ei minkaanlaista valimuotoa. :) Eli leikkiaikaa pitaa rajottaa. Illalla viela grillattiin pihvia ja kasviksia perunagratiinin seuraksi. Oli niin namia.
Nyt punottaa kasivarret seka niska. Lampoa riitti +26C ja aurinko porotti pilvettomalta taivaalta. Nyt on massu taynna hyvaa ruokaa ja on aikasen vasy olo. Hyva olo.

Today was Mother's day in Finland as well as here in US. Becasue the weather was so beautiful we spent the whole day outside doing yard work. Cutting the lawn, raking, cutting branches, cutting down few trees (dead ones and not so terribly big), digging holes, digging up a dead rhododendron bush, planting flowers and watering them. Doggy got some play time as well. Poor thing, even as a 10-year-old he doesn't know moderation. He has only ON(full speed) and OFF button. Nothing in between. :) So we have to restrict his play time. In the evening we grilled few stakes and vegetables to go with a potato gratin. It was so delicious.
Now I have red neck and arms. It was +26C degrees and sun was shining from clear skies. Now I'm full of good food and I'm tired of all the work. But I feel good.
