The garden partybis a good ocassion to do some extra weeding. One crop circle is looking spiffy anyway.
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.

And radiating it back out.
Somewhat ephemeral
Happy New Year!
This year we got a storm. Alfrida came and picked up the ‘geodesic dome’ Jens built as an art project at our garden party 2 years ago.
And put it down 10 meters away with a crash.
It was well anchored, we thought. Oh well – ephemeral it is.
Perhaps the last flowers from our garden this year.
Today we found a fun and different market in our neighborhood park (Minatogawa park) – arts and crafts, music, food, and coffee and….

The main pretence for our trip to Japan was to visit Arashiyama (on the outskirts of Kyoto) during the autumn leaf festival!
So far the autumn leaves haven’t impressed me much. Yesterday was a bit rainy, so we went today. We picked a good day. It was sunny with intermittent showers and a cold north wind. Arashi mountain itself was not so colorful, but there were huge crowds of locals and turists to see the autumn leaves.
After walking all over the place we decided to finish the day with the gardens of Tenryuji Temple.
On the way there, we followed the crowd going in to see the gardens of Hogonin Temple. What a magnificent discovery! A fantastic moss garden canopied with maple trees in every shade of green, yellow, orange and red, complete with a couple of gardeners constantly brushing the falling leaves off the moss.
Tenryuji had equally impressive gardens with moss, maple trees, water flows, a carp pond, rocks, fences and bamboo groves.
At the end of the day. We were cold and tired and didn’t bother to go into the temple, but did catch a glimpse of this guy and then had to head back to the ryokan.
There are a few more objects of art in the garden.
The stone I got for a birthday present has been raised.
Farmer Ericsson brought over a cement tub.
This will sooner or later be rolled into the gothic greenhouse, tipped upright and filled with water for watering, and water art.
I had a bunch of cement pipe holes laying around that I didn’t have any use for. Why not make a garden cairn?
This old stump needed a flat sone on top.
