Somebody is very sneaky.
Aulinka: “Oh, you
noticed? Hehe… just a little Googling here. Lovely weather, isn't
it? -20, yeah. No complaints of any kind. I assure you I love winter,
haha. Mmm, snow.”

Special Bird Food [Daily Photo #697]
Normally I feed birds with sunflower seeds or peanuts but I was
cleaning the closets today and found a few bags of almonds that
expired rather long time ago. ^^;; They look fine though, so I'm
going to offer them to wild birds. It's really cold now (-17 right
this moment), so birds need to be fed. It's easier for them to
survive cold when they have food in their tummies, and by the end of
winter there isn't that much food left in the woods, so they
especially need our help now.
Bird: “Crush them so that birds with small beaks can eat them too!”

Schlumbergera Progress [Daily Photo #688]
My schlumbergera's flowers
are opening up! ^u^
I know it's supposed to
bloom in December,
but I arranged a dormancy for it too late – see more here.

I Could Not Resist... [Daily Photo #686]
I could resist them no
more! I bought seeds! I want to garden! T_T Last year I planted
nasturtiums from seeds and I really liked them. This time though I
bought seeds of larger varieties, so that they can climb up high and
cover lots of space with beautiful leaves and flowers. ^u^

Alanya Market [Daily Photo #681]
The other day we went to Alanya Market in Espoo (the address is Kamreerintie 3,
Espoo). It seems they mostly have Turkish food, but I did see some
Russian stuff, like roasted sunflower seeds (unshelled, as it should
be!) and zefir (an abomination for me, but many Russians love it).
They have so many interesting sweets like rahat lokum and baklava! Fig
jam, date syrup, chickpea flour, cherry juice, all kinds of beans and
olives, teas, etc. So, of course we bought a couple things. Just a
few! =D

Buds and Dust [Daily Photo #675]
After spending many, many
weeks in our cold sauna (the coldest room in our apartment when not
in use), my biggest schlumbergera finally made flower buds! This
plant needs a cold period to form the buds, so last year, when I
didn't know that, it didn't bloom because I kept it in an environment
that was too warm. Hopefully these buds will turn into flowers some
day soon! Fingers crossed! ^u^
