"I have never had so many good ideas day after day as when I worked in the garden." ~John Erskine

I had such a wonderful evening with Erja! ❤ I simply love living so close by to a dear friend - my backyard is just a stonethrow (quite literally, actually) from Erja's frontyard - and today we did some gardening together! :) First at Erja's and then at my backyard.

See, Erja is my collegue from cemetery, and unlike me, she actually is a gardener (studied to be one, I just learnt by working). So now that I'm for the first time enjoying the luxury of having both back- and frontyard, Erja is a great help with picking suitable plants and all. For example, today she helped me to put up a fence to my backyard (my backyard was a little too... open for my taste) and she also suggested some suitable vines for me etc. ❤ I'd love to have a HUGE (half wild) parthenocissus climbing all over the walls at the backyard! I have always loved them...

Maybe soon I can start posting photos from my own garden. Haha, I'm clearly looking forward to get back to work next week - my greenthumb (I didn't even know I had one) is ITCHY! Sad news by the way - my good friend and beloved boss Abby won't be working at the cemetery anymore ),: It will be a weird summer at work, not to have her around anymore... but guess what it means - I'LL BE THE BOSS! Whohoo, am I excited or what?! ;-) Anyway, I'm not even trying to update everything that has happened, it has been months since I just blogged, so back to this Sunday evening - the plan here was just to tell you how much I suddenly love gardening & decorating my lovely little home.

Yeah... I don't know. Living in this wonderful apartment has really chanced me - for better! Suddenly I'm all about flowers, baking cakes, gardening and all that. WHAT TO HELL? I can hear my closest friends saying "Who the hell are you and what have you done to Sanna we know?!" I mean... For example, eventhough I have worked as a gardener at the cemetery for 5 years, it has always been nothing more than that - work. But now I'm suddenly reading gardening books, making plans for my own garden... who knows how long my enthusiasm will last, but hopefully at least for this first summer.

Gosh I'd have so many photos to share... from my sister's wedding (!!! ❤ !!!!), stuff I've knitted recently, damn and I haven't even shown photos from this new apartment of mine, and now from the garden... ohh well, I promise to show you some day. This was just a short and badly written update about my garden dreams.

sincerely,
Sanna

Hi,

My name is KC Owens; I’m a college student who loves to travel! While cruising the Internet, I found your site and really enjoyed reading your posts. Personally, I think traveling is a necessary part of life as you’re exposed to all sorts of new cultures and experiences. While enjoying time abroad, I've found it's crucial to fully understand the dangers that you might encounter along the way. These mishaps are part of life and certainly part of travel but it’s always a great idea to take preventive measures to help ensure your safety while abroad.

I was hoping that you would allow me to write a post for your site to share my travel safety tips with your readers? I put a lot of time and passion into my traveling and I would love to help others by offering safety advice as a result of the mistakes and triumphs I've had. I look forward to hearing from you!

Best,

KC Owens
