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!

I love this time of the year! Everything is blossoming, the veggie garden is taking shape and I finished painting another flower..... life is simple and I like it that way ♥

Miluji tuhle rocni dobu. Vsechno kvete, zeleninove zahony se zacinaji pekne rysovat a ja namalovala dalsi kvetinu .... jednoduchy zivot a tak to mam rada ♥

daffodil

My daffodil is finished, yay! I can't wait to start another lesson. It is so nice to be able to do it at my own paste and since I am such a night owl, I really like to work at night.

Hura, narciska je dokoncena! Uz se nemuzu dockat az zacnu dalsi "hodinu". Je to prima "navstevovat" kurz na internetu, protoze muzu malovat kdy to vyhovuje mne. A protoze jsem nocni ptak, je to vetsinou pozde vecer a v noci.

Out of the oven..... I love the smell of freshly bake bread!
Prave upeceny.... mam rada vuni cerstveho chleba!

 Breakfast anyone?  Soft cheese and chives with over easy egg on top, yummy ♥
Je libo snidani?  Syr, pazitka a volske oko, mnam ♥

I found this little flower on my plant this morning, how cool is that?  It popped up just like that......
Rano jsem nasla rozkvetlou kyticku, rozkvetla aniz bych si pred tim neceho vsimla, jen tak.....

Perfect day for a walk with grand kids.
Den jak malovany na prochazku z vnoucaty.  

Hope you have a wonderful day, cheers Monika.
Preji krasny den Monika

April showers bring May flowers .....

I don't know, where the time goes. I am really trying to post more often, but it feels like an impossible task lately.  So once again, here are some photos from the last few weeks. Lots of sun, lots of rain as well, but I managed to get out in the garden and planted broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, Brussels sprouts, beets, carrots, onions, peas, potatoes, cilantro, parsley......well, you get the idea. The more delicate plants have to wait for warmer weather, tomatoes are in the greenhouse and peppers still "live" in our kitchen.

Nevim, kam ten cas leti....  Snazim se venovat tomuto blogu vice nez jen jednou za mesic, ale nejak se mi to nedari. Takze opet " fotkova okupace" z poslednich par tydnu.  Hodne slunicka, hodne deste a prace na zahrade zacala! Vysazela jsem brokolici, kvetak, ruzickovou kapustu, zeli, cervenou repu, mrkev, hrasek, cibuli, brambory, petrzelku.... no jiste si to dovedete predstavit.  Rajcata jsou zatim jeste v kvetinacich ve skleniku nez je presadim do zeme a papriky a dalsi teplomilne rostlinky stale jeste "bydli' v kuchyni.

 I love our walks where the river joins the ocean, with a  little airport on the side. Thus the name Air park.

Mam rada nase prochazky okolo reky, ktera se vleva do more pri ceste parkem, ktery je z druhe strany obklopen malym letistem.

 When working on the portrait for my friend I decided to take watercolor classes on the internet. First exercise was this pear and then yesterday I started working on the daffodil. Hopefully I'll be able finish that one tonight.  What a difference from this picture three weeks ago. I am enjoying it so much,  working on my drawing as well as learning more about watercolor.

 Pri malovani obrazku pro kamaradku jsem se rozhodla, ze se prihlasim na lekce akvarelu na internetu. Prvni cviceni byla tahle hruska a vcera jsem se pustila do narcisky, kterou bych dneska chtela dokoncit. Je to velky rozdil v porovnani s timhle obrazkem pred tremi tydny.  Moc me to bavi a mino malovani akvarelkami se ucim lepe rozumet i kresleni.
