Spring has sprung

What happens at your house when the weather warms up?  Warm enough here to start the hoodie hunt.  You know, go out in the morning with it on and then hunt it down later in the evening when it cools off.  Am hoping for weather warm enough to start the shoe hunt.

All the other flowers turned out toward the sun.  Thinking it might be spying on us.

This is not a smudge on the window, it’s a bug.  They have almost transparent wings with a greenish tint to them.  Little stinkers seem to be able to get in through the smallest spaces.

And yet another sign of spring is DR. PEPPER!

Hope your days are everything you want them to be.

More non-sense

Saturday we became the proud owners of a third car.  Needed a hitch to be able to pull the boat and trailer we don’t have. Can’t get either without the hitch. 😝

If the video doesn’t show up I’ll put it in comments.

Allergies bugging us off and on so we stopped by the pharmacy for some relief.  Other than the price was pleasantly surprised to see/feel Braille on the package.  Not something I’ve ever noticed in the states.

Then some advertising 

Just doesn’t make sense

Hoping the video shows up, if not just let me know and I’ll put it into comments.

Lard making pictures first.

Little worried about the stovetop surviving the weight of this but seems to be doing OK.

Next load going in the oven.

Now some pretty flowers popped up at the park.

Hope you’re all well and enjoying Spring.

Driving down the road

A few interesting sights we’ve seen while driving down the road.

First a few from Huittinen.

No idea what this is about.

A lion guards the playground.

This naked woman seems to be in a hurry to get somewhere. 

Risto Ryti president from 1940 to 1944.

Once again, no clue.

The next group are down a road between Kokemäki and Harjavalta.  Judging from the numbers on them I’m betting they were birthday gifts.

New blog

Couldn’t figure out a way to rename the blog, Moving to Finland, so I started a new one.  Seems a bit silly to continue with Moving when we’ve already been here for three months.

This week was a bit rainy but that didn’t stop us getting things done.

Cabbage was on sale when we moved into our new house so we shredded some, put it in a crock and 8 weeks later - sauerkraut!  Just 5 pints for now but we are planting cabbage.

 Finally a clothesline.  Today’s a bit cloudy but a second rinse never hurts!

Slow going on the picket fence project.  Looking at making space in the garage for painting, weather is NOT cooperating.

Larry’s put our grill together (don’t tell customs about the brandy new grill we brought with us) now we await warm weather so we can toss some ribs on there and invite the gang to come eat.
