Quiz Winner

First I'll explain to you what this object is.

It's like one of the Peelmormels suggested, a measuring cup.

This one is especially designed for coffee (koffiemaatje).

 You have two options. One side is for a big amount of coffee
and the other side is for a much smaller amount.

I want to thank everyone who commented on my post.

Finally I'll announce the winner of the kenderfrau quiz......
It's Snorrit. His answer made me laugh out loud!

Tomorrow his little present will be send to him.

Don't forget to pay attention. In the near future you'll find another quiz :-)

Raining Cats and Dogs

Despite the wet weather the birds are as busy as ever using our sunflower seed feeders.
Our hedge is functioning as a save passageway for the little birds .

What the Fig!

For weeks I have got my mind set on an indoor fig......

I really love this leaf shape.

But you shouldn't go to the garden centre to buy a tropical plant right now :-)

This Ficus carica was placed in a cold greenhouse, it had lost some leaves and it was already entering dormancy.
I took a plant home, gave it a much bigger pot and some mediterranean potting soil.
We'll see what happens......

Sunday Noon

As a child I didn't like sundays. I thought sundays were quite boring.

Back then all the shops were closed on sundays and I spent the whole day with my family.

We often visited some relatives or we went for a walk in the woods.
To me it felt like time stood still!

Nowadays I really love sundays. For the same reasons I disliked it as a kid.
At last time seems to slow down a bit.

I've learned to appreciate this much later in life ;-)

Reminder Quiz

It's obvious my quiz has been really succesful.

My goal was to stimulate people to make a comment on my post.

If you haven't seen my message of last wednesday:

untill wednesday you can take a guess what this object is.

There is a really nice little price to win and I will ship internationally :-)

Statistics

My blog dashboard registers the countries of my blog visitors.

 So I want to share some statistics from last month:

• Netherlands                    314
• Belgium                        144
• Russia                         103
• United States                   98
• Germany                         52
• United Kingdom                  17
• France                           8
• South-Korea                      8
• Canada                           6
• Australia                        5

It's too bad Google only saves the 10 highest scores.

Because last month I also saw countries like:

Nepal, Chile, Mauritius, Japan, Iceland, Denmark, Greece, South Africa,

Brazil, Italy, Hungary, Sweden and Spain in my daily reports.

It's quite addictive for me to check these statistics on a daily base :-)

Always glad to see a new countrie appear!

Rushing

Time keeps rushing by.......... faster and faster.

This photo reflects the rat race I'm in.

Trying to slow down and wishing you a nice weekend!

Protection

This beauty needs protection!

At this time of year the treeferns are at their best but it won't be for long.....

We have to keep a close eye on the weather forecast.

Soon we might have to move them again.

 Last saturday we had, pretty early this year, some overnight frost.

The kenderman placed his treeferns (and some other less important plants) underneath the roof.

But they need to come outside again as soon as possible.
On monday KM placed them back in the garden.
