Another peaceful weekend, just JD and I, in the big house. Finally the sun started to warm up all those apple, plumb and cherry trees waiting eagerly in bud. It took only one sunny day for the first white flowers of the cherry trees to pop up.

I worked with some flower beds, but most of the time just enjoyed the sun and warmth, just like the statue in my garden. Besides me, there were some other creatures in the garden bathing in the sun, a lizard
(viviparous lizard, sisilisko) and I also saw a copper brown
blindwarm or slow warm (Anguis fragilis, vaskitsa) moving slowly through grass. Yäk, to me it is a snake, although I know that it doesn't do any harm and it has been placed under protection.
In our house, somewhere above the living room window and under the roof, there lives a colony of
bats which are also under protection in Finland. So we have the pleasure of enjoying them flying around in the evenings. This weekend the bats had also woken up from their winter sleep to find something to eat. Luckily they are small and not vampyres - anyhow a bit disgusting.
