Åkandeblad med anker. Anchored lilypad |
Det var desværre en fiasko. Olien blev til det rene klister, åkanderne sank og insekterne fortsatte med at drukne.

Naturligvis har Uglemor flere nye ideer til den kommende sommer, så lad os se, hvad der sker.

Å is for Åkande = waterlily
For a long time MotherOwl wanted a waterlily in the garden. When the Frogpond was new and the waters clear, she bougth and planted a pretty yellow waterlily. It flowered nicely that summer, never to return. Waterlilies want sunshine and warm water, and the Frogpond is placed in the shadow.
Then MotherOwl made her own, wooden lilypads. The experiment was a failure. The oil got sticky and the lilypads got waterlogged and sunk.
Åkandeblad af træ i et lille bassin - medens det stadig så ud til at lykkes. Wooden lilypad in a small pond -- While everything looked good. |
Selvom åkandebladene var smukke, var det en dårlig idé. Even if the lilypads turned out beautiful, it did not work out as intended. |

And this was the end of the A-Z Challenge, that for MotherOwl's part ended up as an A-Å Challenge.
Water lilies bring back wonderful memories for me. My father sank an old bath and filled it with water lilies. Over breakfast we could look out and see them bloom. Thank you for the reminder. Your wooden lily pads are lovely - and remind me of the beauty of some funghi.
SvarSletAn old bath full of water lilies. What a wonderful thing. The funghi - at least some sort of mini-funghi - is responstible for the colouring of the wood.
SletCongratulations on finishing the challenge! Your wooden lilies are pretty.
SvarSletThank you.
SletNej hvor kedeligt at vi nu er ved AA. Jeg har nydt din A-AA serie om haven, jeg synes det er saa hyggeligt at hoere om hverdagen! Mette
SvarSletTak for rosen, og bare roligt, jeg holder skam ikke op med at skrive om dagligliv og have bare fordi jeg er nået til Å. Det bliver nok bare ikke hver dag.
