Day Twenty-one - Why here?

Here!
I love the air and sunshine in my hair.
I love the sound of calling geese in Spring.
I love the snow in Winter.
I love growing things - and harvesting them.
I love my view.
I love it here!

Day Twenty - Favourite place

The woods close to home. Many a worry has disappeared and many an inspiration appeared biking through the beeches in "my" wood.

Day Nineteen - Something small

Seeds and sprouts are very small, but right now they are a big part of MotherOwl's life.

Day Eighteen - After dark

This prompt makes me thing of the book Afutā Dāku by Haruku Murakami. I never read it, but I will some day. As I do not own the book, a real after dark picture is in its place here.

The almost new moon and an old church.

Day Seventeen - Something old

This ancient oak - which I pass if I go by bike somewhere else to do my shopping - never ceases to fascinate me.

Day Fifteen - Sums up my job

This is an impossible prompt. I am not holding a nine to five job. I work from home, translating and lay-outing, but my main job is being a wife and a mother of the 6 Owlets from which 4 still lives at home.

But this hand (and its mate) does most of the jobs.

Day Fourteen - Something hidden

If you do not know it, the entrance looks just like another driveway. But it isn't. It's the entrance to our local pond, a scenic place with animal an plant life of all kinds. I love going there being alone.

From a bygone snowfall. It looks dreary and bleak in today's pre-spring thaws.

Day Thirteen - People

In our small village are lots of people. We help one another, we share plants and noises and sometimes we even celebrate together. 

 

Some of the people from the village celebrating the last Sunday before lent. 

In Denmark you celebrate by dressing up, eating special buns, smashing a barrel containing candy and by going  "trick or treating".

Day Twelve - Home

     This dome shaped greenhouse is home to my tomatoes and chillies in the summer. Today I made it ready for the coming summer, removing all the dead tomato and chilli plants from last year, weeding, and chucking out several slugs. I carefully displaced the worms and tried to let the woodlice alone.
     The place, we call home is not our home alone. My garden is home for me, the Writer, and four Owlets, but it's also home to 8 chicken, a zillion wild bees, some lizards, salamanders, frogs, toads, and various birds.
     And this time a year, as every year, I'm trying to tell some crows that this noisy (MotherOwl clapping her hands and making other noises) and dangerous (MotherOwl flapping her black ... t-shirt) place is not a suitable home for baby crows.
     I like to spend the ever increasing time between sunrise and the sounding of the alarm clock sleeping, not lying awake listening to mama and papa crow disciplining and educating the baby crows.

Day Eleven -Friends

One of my sons and his nephew. Best of friends. 

I missed a couple of days, but the clues seem too good to miss. I will catch up.

Day Ten - Architecture

Only one photo?

A farmhouse near where I live. The stones at the corners are rounded. I love to look at this place.

Day Nine - Where are you from?

I was born in a little house in the middle of nowhere. I do not remember this, as I was one year old when we moved away. I grew up In Helsingør - yes Elsinore, the town of Hamlet.
It's now more than 30 years since I left the town, but I often visit there.

Photo from the internet somewhere - December in Elsinore in times gone by.

Day Eight - Lunch

     Yes, I eat lunch ... every day. Sometimes all alone, sometimes with The Writer and some of the Owlets, sometimes with one, two, three or even four Owlets.

But do I remember to take photos of my lunch? No, I'm much too busy eating it - and talking.

A bento, I once made for a competition. And no, I did not win anything.

Day Seven - Favourite colour

All the colours of the rainbow ...

But if I have to choose, I choose 

BLUE!

Day Six - Work space

Well this is where part of my work happens. Other than in the kitchen, bathroom or living room. Making soap and plant dyeing wool are both messy and requires a lot of space and water.

Day Five - Self portrait

I'm shy.

Day Four - Favourite Book or Film

I can't do this! I can't choose.

This is one out of at least ten book cases in The Owlery. Do you see why? I can't hurt all the other books by naming just one.

Day Three - Weather

The Weather. One of those things people in Denmark are always taking about.
It is by the way fantastic how divers the weather is even on our small island. Windy and cold everywhere, but the amounts of snow differ widely. From the "we're buried in snow, schools are closed" conditions in the south of Zealand to our "Send More Snow" place in north of Zealand.

Windy, grey clouds, -2º , scattered snowflakes.

Day Two - Biscuits

One of my motherly duties is filling luncboxes for the Owlet. A staple filling is crackers. Variety and number keeps varying with season and over time. Rigt now we go for spicy and quite a lot.
