Kodomo no hi


I have a lot of work to do. A bit too much. And I get easily stressed. Last night I was thinking about sleeping in a tent in a forest and swimming. But I'm only thinking. Maybe because it felt and smelled like summer to me last night, crickets were chirping and the air was deep and still. I got a feeling that something is about to happen, like a thunder storm or something, but just another even warmer day started.

こどもの日, Kodomo no hi in Japan, childrens day. Greetings to dear little ones and even the ones I don't know. There are koinbori (fish flags) flying here for you.

I'll just try to keep on drawing and working.

    ohhoi, kuulostaa kuin sadulta; sirkat vai onko ne nyt siis kaskaat soittavat yössä ja jotain jännittävää on odotettavissa.. olkoonkin sitten vaikka uusi lämmin päivä:)

    täällä laulaa sadepisarat ja kesänodotus käy koville. löysin sentään tänään ensimmäiset sini- ja valkovuokot!

    Hoi ohoi Hanna,

    Kuulostaa niin nätille siellä ja mukavaa, jos kätesi ovat kiireiset. Vaaleanpunaiset lappuset tekevät hyvälle mielelle paidan ruutujen kanssa.

    Tikka syö tammessa ja mustarastas hyppii sateisella nurmikolla, Leppiksellä ei vielä ole yhtään vihreää, Tampereella oli eilen jo hiukkasen tummempi sävy!

    Mukavaa viikonloppua sinne Hannalle!

    oly, you too! and thank you, again and again.

    mieke willems, it sounds good, everything will be fine! thank you girls.

    provins, yes swimming! one of my favourite summer things. i hope you will use your new swimsuit a lot this summer.

    anne, thank you. sometimes a little couragement is very much needed.

    walter helene, yes breathe and breathe! thats important to remember!

    outi, kevätsateita, kevätsateita. kyllä se sieltä tulee se kesä. siellä on varmaan pitempään valosaa ku täällä. se on hurjaa. ja vuokot!

    anna hoi,
    terveiset leppikselle sinne kauas! varmaan vihreää saapuu pian myös sinne. täällä on jo ilta, ja ulkoa tulee sateen tuoksua. linnut on varmaan menneet nukkumaan. minä en taida malttaa ajoissa mennä. voi viihtyisästi siellä anna!
