Weeds taken over

I had a short stay with my son on the island, just one night, to mowing the lawns and check that the newly planted flowers are doing well. Weeds taken over the lawn! Millions of dandelions everywhere, actually very beautiful. It's amazing how much a plant can grow in one week! My son Yaffa spent several hours with the mower to get the grass look like grass (he was paid for the job, otherwise would rather play some games in the basement..).

It was +23C, sunny and as hot as in the best days in July. Had to protect skin from burning. The first summer day!

I made a light salad for lunch, some lettuce, cherry tomatos (unfortunately from Spain at this time of the year), basilika and buffalo mozzarella with dressing of virgin olive oil, white wine vinegar, Herbamare and black pepper. Tasted summer!

After the lawn was done, apple trees looked fantastic - the buds had just opened and the trees were in full blossom. That view you cannot miss, it lasts only one week. It was a pitty that we had to leave for Helsinki early in the sunny afternoon.
