summer garden

Summer's in full swing, the garden is doing amazingly well and the weather is gorgeous. I guess that's one of the reason why we have such a bumper crop of everything this year. Here is just a little sneak peek ..... I have so many pictures I want to share with you, trips, events, and fun stuff, but the time is precious and I am spending every little bit enjoying the outdoors. I hope you are doing the same, have a wonderful week!

Leto je v plnem proudu, zahrada vypada uzasne, vsechno roste a uroda letos je a bude uzasna. Zasluhu na tom ma jiste i letosni nadherne pocasi. Tak tedy alespon par fotek ze zahradky. Chtela bych se s vami podelit i o ty z vyletu, rodinych seslosti a tak dale ale casu je malo a ja vyuzivam kazdou chvilku kterou muzu k tomu uzit si tohle nadherne rocni obdobi. Verim, ze si to uzivate i vy a preji vam krasny tyden!

A long overdue blog update…

I've been busy these past couple months, enjoying summer, gardening and spending time with friends and family and so it happened without planing that I took a " Blog Holiday " ;)  But I am back and here are some pics to show you what I've been up to.....

Ani nevim jak se to stalo, neplanovane "blogove prazdniny" se protahly a uz je tu podzim. Leto me naprosto pohltilo, zahrada, pratele, rodina ( no vzdyt to vsichni znate) ale jsem zpet a vy muzete nahlednout, co se u nas deje.....

Plum dumplings.
Svestkove knedliky.

Growing grandsons ♥
A vnoucci povyrostli ♥

Fun, quick project at my daughters request.....
Rychlovka na dcerino prani.....

 and here is Koa, modeling his new booties.
Koa predvadi jeho nove backurky.

I made comfrey oitment. We have comfrey growing like weeds in our garden.
Put 2 handfuls of clean, cut up comfrey root ( you can add leaves too) in to 1/2 kg lard and cook for 10 minutes. Let cool and sit for 24 ours, then reheat and strain into clean container. I keep mine in the fridge. 
 
Uvarila jsem  Kostivalovy krem.
Do 1/2 kg sádla přidáme 2 hrsti nakrájených očištěných kořenů (příp. i listů) a vše 10 minut smažíme. Druhý den mast mírně zahřejeme, přepasírujeme přes plátýnko a slijeme do kelímků. Mast jsem si ulozila do lednice.

Summer bliss

Omlouvam se za delsi odmlku, na blog nejak nezbyva cas. Takze letem svetem par fotek z naseho leta.
My apologies for  the lack of posts lately. So much to do and so little time :)  Here are few photos from our summer.

Jezero Comox, v pozadi ledovec Comox.

 Na plazi je cas  na pleteni.....
At the beach....time to catch up with some knitting.

doma zase treba na prani vlny.
 At home....time to wash some wool.

Nebo treba na pripravu zeleninovo ovocneho "smoothie"
So much fresh, good food in the summer. I love making smoothies for breakfast.

Dnes jsem "vyplenila" zahradku ale v tomhle krasnem pocasi muzu zbirat za par dni znova. Zitra se chystam na kecup a okurky jsou uz zavarene. Dyne vydrzi celou zimu, mam jeste posledni dve z lonske urody!

I "raided' the garden today, but with this weather I will harvest more in few days. I made pickles today, I will make ketchup tomorrow and squash will be store for winter. I still have two left from last years crop!

A jak prozivate leto vy?
And what are you up to?

day at the beach

I kdyz se prazdniny  pomalu chyly ke konci, leto je stale v plnem proudu. Par fotek z pohodoveho dne na Pisecnem Ostrove.

Even though it's almost time for school again,  summer is still nice and hot. Few photos from relaxing day at  Sandy Island.
