Koruno

This is still the weirdest season of the year for me. Just as the last deciduous trees shed their leaves, spring is already waiting around the corner. Sometimes it’s hard to recognize this as ‘winter’, when we only wear hoodies to do stuff in the garden, with flowers and new growth everywhere.

Four years old. Time for his first big birthday party with his closest kindergarten friends. A mixed theme of dinosaurs of all types and the long awaited construction cake.

The days are getting significantly shorter and the sun is fighting to provide some warmth on our skin.

An all-time favorite of the Greek kitchen. A lot of layering work but so worth it. Only posting this because it was the best one in years, lol.

The weather gods didn’t mean it well with us this year. We’re heading into week two with rain from mornings to evenings. Fortunately, the easter bunny has left a trail of eggs throughout the house. Moussaka awaits us for lunch.

The days are getting shorter and end of summer season is near. Time to harvest tons of apples, passionfruit, blueberries, chestnuts and grapes.

Whoah! Our hazelnut production increased exponentially this year. From a small bowl of nuts last year we have upgraded to a huge basket plus some more bowls. The nuts sat at our windows to dry for the past three weeks. Our initial attempts to crack them manually one-by-one quickly led us to buy a hand-cranked…

Great teamwork to prepare some flat bread for dinner.

So, we were watching a French guy enthusiastically sharing his dough kneading skills on YouTube the other day. How hard can it be?

The first egg of a new flock of chickens is always the most exciting. And then follows a bunch of chicks. 🙂
