Tomato harvest!

Tomatoes are here. We are were happy to be able to consume the products of our own labor:) Each day seems to bring more and more of them. I have to be faster with picking them because chipmunks seem to like them as much as we do.

This is how I eat them. There's nothing better than fresh tomatoes with salt.

Here are the pictures of the recently purchased daylilies. The are finally planted and blooming like crazy.

Wild Flowers...

One of the many advantages of living in the suburbs are free wild flowers:) Whenever I have some spare time I go on the flower hunt. The biggest pleasure is to make arrangements out of them. Who would think that these beauties are common flowers growing in the fields?!

Have I told you that I've always wanted to be a florist? This is my little dream. Who knows maybe one day you will be buying flowers from me:)

Fun on the daylily farm!

We went to the daylily farm on Sunday. It wasn’t as much fun as we wanted it to be because of the heat. Zosia destroyed few flowers and waited for our plants to be dug out in a nice shady spot. She didn't have any energy to run. It was very unlike her.
We got some marvelous species. Unfortunately ma camera died and I didn’t get many pictures. I guess it didn’t like the weather either:) Zosia got a baby plant as a gift from the owner. We’ll see what it turns to. It is too small to tell what kind of daylily it is.

I’ve been loving daylilies since I was a little girl like Zosia. They have amazing rich flowers and they last only one day. You can’t use them as cut flowers because they are too sensitive to changes. New England seems to be a daylily heaven. You can find them everywhere. The daylily farms have endless fields planted with thousands of flowering plants. You can pick your own from the field.

Now to the less exciting part which is planting:(

The little destroyer

Pigeon Cove...

We went to the beach again. It's our favorite way of spending weekends. Kids love to play in the water and Zosia is always excited to see new places. This time there was no sand just granite rocks. There were some tidal pools full of see weeds and miniature ocean life. Zosia was looking for tiny fishes(her favorite creature nowadays) and baby crabs. I wanted to take some portraits but believe me, it was a very difficult task with two little active girls. I kept yelling "Zosia don't run you are going to fall and whale is going to come and eat you". I know I'm a bad mother:)

Kolejny weekend na plazy. Dziewczynki uwielbiaja odwiedzac nowe miejse szczegolnie, gdy sa one nad woda. Tym razem bylismy na kamienistej plazy w poblizu starego kamieniolomu. Zosia bawila sie w malych jeziorka pozostawionych przez odplyw. Szukala rybek i krabow. Amelka nie spuszczala oczu z siostry i jej poczynan. Chcialam zrobic kilka zdjec rodzinnych, ale ciezko bylo skoordynowac dwie siostry i zmusic je do odpowiednich poz. Zosia ciagle uciakala do wody. Caly czas straszylam ja, wileorybami ktore zjedza ja jak Pinokia jesli mamy nie bedzie sluchac:)

Amelka siadaj i patrz na mame:) It's a challenge to force the little one to sit still and pose..

These sea weeds are fabulous...

Self timer picture:) you can tell that kids are not really interested and why mom keeps saying to look at the camera if there's nobody behind it:)

Sophie's counting!

Guess who have taught her how to count? Television!!!! Oh well we are very busy parents:)
Zdolna Zosia liczy do 10ciu. Nauczyla sie tego z telewizji. DZiekujemy Ci TV:)

Maternity photo session!

My dear friend Basia visited us few days ago. She's expecting her first child (a baby boy). I thought that it would be a great idea to take few pictures. I had not done any maternity session before but as for the first time pictures came out pretty good. Basia was very patient with all my ideas and a great model!!!
