Harvest... sort of.

We waited a little long with harvesting our radish. Because we couldn´t bring it over us to pull them out of the dirt - hey, Ronja even sang to them! They were our babies!

So, now they grew tree-like stems of one meter height, and taste like wood.

Which doesn´t make them less worthy in my children´s eyes, who loved to pick them tonight:

And they sang to them, while picking them, too. Bella Ciao, with an estimate of 20 verses, while I was rolling with laughter in the clover. I took a video of it, but I´ll spare you - allthough it´s really sweet. Well, at least for me, since I´m their mom ;)

Can you see all that clover? Awesome, right? We hardly ever mow our lawn, well, in fact I don´t even think it counts as "lawn", maybe it´s more of an acre. So our garden is the ony one in the whole neighbourhood that is bursting with clover. And bees. Tim and I actually talked about whether we should consider beekeeping. We have a such a huge population of bees that even Ronja puts her shoes on when she goes out - and that means something! Miro even figured out to keep an onion at hand. Once a week he yells "Mom! I need an onion. I´ve got a bee in my foot!" And then I´ll give him his onion, and five minutes later, he´s out again.
Onions are awesome against beestitches. As is ribwort. Or lemon. Just in case you didn´t know.
And I love honey!

But if you´ve read this blog for a certain time, you know that Tim and I are always considering about a million of things, of which we then actually do... about one percentage. So don´t expect us to actually jump into beekeping ;) Probably the planning stage alone is fun enough.

By the way, I love the word "clover". I think it´s one of the most poetic sounding words of the English language. There´s a song called "Fields of Clover" by the band "Sometymes Why", but since it´s not on youtube, I can´t link you up. Still, that´s one very... poetic song, too.

So for today, I´ll just go with a Dave Days song:

Which I´ve been listening to all day long. Nice, smooth, millenium rock. Sounds like Blink or Sum 41. And the video is by Kurt Hugo Schneider, who is a genius, as always.
