As I understand, this is a place somewhere in the world where someone came up with the idea to build a forest green bridge over the highway – because all animals were run over & killed when they tried to cross. And it works, it’s much less of a problem now. Plus that it’s such a hearty thing to do for those animals that actually belongs there.

Newspaper, cotton string & a nice green plant – and there you go – a great gift that lasts for a long time. Position it in the right place & you will get a nice eye-catcher.

I’m not an outdoors person or particularly interested in nature. I know it sounds horrible but it’s probably not the worst though. What’s worse is that my two sons are alike. My husband claims to be an active outdoors person. But that’s not entirely true, even if the rest of us in the family isn’t making a big deal of it. We are just wondering when he activates his great hobby – since he always spends his free time with us. We are on the go & active with one or the other but it’s more city emphasised, however. Although I have to admit, that I lately have felt an urge to get out into the forest, take some walks & breathe fresh air. Hear & behold! I hope it has something to do with development, of some kind.

Succulents – sometimes also called fat plants, fascinates me, for some reason. It’s plants that have parts that are a bit thicker, probably to enable water to be stored during dry periods. I like their unusual appearance. Each one looks different & they can survive anything, which is a good thing for someone like me, that hasn’t the talent for required green thumbs! Their green shades, from dark to the brightest green, makes those plants interesting. Especially in combination with white or black pots. But the best thing is that they look nice & are suitable everywhere. Useful in concrete pots, transparent glass, clay pots, or a mix of all – they have the ability to blend in & harmonize in the environment. I prefer toned-down versions where the plants are to their best advantage. Succulents can be quite colorful but like I said, the simple green variants with their fat leafs, in pots which don’t take too much of the impact. That’s what I like!

Hej friends,
I’ve been browsing the web for fun while waiting for my darling to meet up. Thought it looked like mint is in favour, at least on a lot of websites & blogs. At the beginning of my professional life, I lived in a small town for a year where I rented a small apartment which I furnished in white, pine & mint green. I would never think of that colour as a choice today, for sure. But like most things, it’s always nice to relive stuff & things at a distance. Been there, done that…feels good sometimes. Especially when one wouldn’t like to do it again. It’s one of the advantages of getting older:)
Mint can be a bit too cute sometimes, for my taste. It needs to be mixed up with one or two other colours & materials to become more appealing. Concrete or stripes gives an interesting look. There’s so many possibilities for whatever style or look. In addition, there are infinite shades of mint. The sky is the limit, as always.
