Happy Equinox!
Chanterelle mushrooms dried, ready to stash away.
Rehydrate and they are like new fresh mushrooms full of flavor, excellent for sauces, spreads, pizzas, whatever. Enough for a couple of years probably.
Ya, I’m getting into it. Doing the fall digging for next spring is one of my favorite garden chores
A little bit of yesterddys mowed grass doesn’t hurt.
A lot people prioritise things like bigger, faster, mostest and firstest or more money and less work. Not me, quite the opposite – fun, rest, beauty, artistry and recreation (work) are top priority. I get a lot more profit that way.
Not to speak of the health benefits of dirt, and of course the wonderful smell of fresh turned dirt.
DIRT
We took a little road trip to Värmland – to explore some of the places where my grandparents family came from. Alas, we stopped mostly and took pictures at artsy places.
Like Lars Lerins museum,
Finnskogs Centrum for a look and a concert of finnskogs music and tales,
Birch bark shoes,
Could be grandmas grandma,
Alma Löv Museum,
Värmlands Museum in Karlstad,
We did, of course, travel through lots of beautiful scenery and landscapes (some in sunshine, some in rain), but it was just too beautiful to take pictures of.
Nice clouds too.
The party was great and many people stayed to have breakfast, lounge, help clean up and revert the area to a state of natural spiffiness. There was, of course, lots to sort and take to the recycling center.
Including a small amount of fermentables to start out a new compost pile.
After party
For the big garden party today.
Fleamarket
Some are expecting rain

Another food tent
Many artists are already here to set up their projects
My own project – The Zen Dirt Garden
Carefully weeded and cultivated!
We have plenty of time to get ready for the big garden party.
We didn’t have one last year, but we decided to have another Big Garden Party at Timogarden in Djurby. As usual lots of food, activities, fun, art and music. Everyone is welcome!
Less than 3 weeks to go.
