Why I love country living....

Spring has very much arrived... And I am basking in all its glory!!!! Thursday was my last day at the bookshop, and allthough I will sorely miss all my fab co-workers, and all those greta books and funny customers... I am looking greatly forward to having more "me-time". Time to spend at home, or in the stable with Ole... Which reminds me, in the two last days alot has happend in the stable. When me and the O-man came to feed horses on friday morning... a little new bundle of fun greated us. A filly had arrived. An andalusian... She's super cute :) And has the funniest walk... Then today when we arrived in the morning, with hardly any time to spare... Ole's Welsh Mountain had feet sticking out of her rear... great... you couldnt hold it in for another day?! Ha ha... so there we were, watching new life arrive... and a adorable filly came to life in front of our eyes. I love seeing births, it never stops to amaze me... new life... one minute they are not there... and the very next, a brand new soul enters our world.
Later when I sat inside with the new mum and the filly. She got up on her wobbely feet, sniffed me and neighed a hello... I was sold... she is amazing! And I can't wait to see her grow up,, to get to work with her... the little wonder that she is....
So I had stay behind to make sure mum and baby was doing okay, while O-man went to work... when I realized everything was fine, I went home, stopped by O's job and picked out some flowers... lots actually... for my porch and garden, and then he surprised me by giving them all to me as thanks!!! I love the O-man! He is the bestest friend anyone could ever wish for! Thank you!!! So now I'm here at my porch, wine in hand... enjoying the evening... and all my new flowers!
Friday I was at the farm with O-man's family... We had the seasons first BBQ, lots of goodies,, both liqued and food... Lots and lots of laughter... I love that it is now light untill past 10pm... And I am trying my best to enjoy these months... and not let them pass too soon...I have been super productive, planted in my garden, and weeded! And even made cake! o.O Yes... I am super woman today! Ha ha... Its just been one of those really rememorable days!
I took a walk along my road and picked wild growing anemones... My favorite spring flowers... and put them in a fleamarket find from 2 weekends ago... a white teapot :)And some more on my didningtable :)I got this from O's mum when she came around to see my house for the first time :) I collect geraniums, so I am so pleased that bot she and Ole gave me some today :)My porch... it's decorated in reds, whites and turqouise :) And I live here now... lazy, long days... Love it! The table will eventually be painted white, but the chairs and the bech will stay the weathered look for a while. I kind of like it :)And I wanted to show you this. I have collected a few vintage "skyline" kitchen utensils at fleamarkets, and thought it a shame to hide them in a drawer. So I put them all up over my stove. They are in use daily and decorative when they are not. I have to collect a few more to finnish the display... it will give me something to look for at fleamarkets :)Tomorrow I will have to do some boring laundry, as well as try to paint my newly bought diningroom chairs... Unless it rains of course... if it does I might just stay in reading :)

I hope you all have a lovely weekend!!! Just like I am having! Ta taa!
