white nights are here, in our city
but cloudy day makes them dark again.
сегодня вспомнился вкус еды, которая была раньше.
полосочки песочные с помадкой сверху толстым слоем,
корзиночки и ватрушки с творогом. летний лагерь в суоярви,
дом около школы, с открытыми окнами, внутри стоит только
шкаф, почти пустой, только несколько карт рулонами, дверь с
ключом. грядки с цветами и белые дома, совсем без трещин и
отколотых кусков или я так просто запомнила их. больше людей
и больше зелени, зелень ярче и большие пузыри на лужах, каждый
раз, когда идет дождь.
parents go the backyard and pick up some herbs
for our tea. dad says every month, starting from early
spring glade is changing like a windy weather and we
are happy to have wildly growing field so close and
should never get rid of it,
downstairs and near the fire place
smell of black currants and mint
what do you collect for your drinks and salads,
i've enjoyed souvenir from nagano:
ReplyDeletewild edible ferns and early spring vegetables.
bitter and wild smell
makes me feel 'spring is just here!'
and we sigh totally satisfied, happily, how delicious
the things nature gives us
and beautiful your photos, i admire.
i wonder i could have captured them (written above)
much lovelier
dear yukino,
Deletethe way you put your words
the order, makes me feel
i read them in russian.
it is so good you had
this trip to nagano,
again, can not imagine
all these nice scenery,
a fern, zenmai one, yukino?
zenmai! oh, i didn't see one at the market we walked in,
Deletehow come you know it!
ones we ate were warabi and kogomi, as we call.
it was a pity that i boiled warabi too long as it became a bit too soft,
but my daughter said it still tastes good, relieved me.
I'll show you the photos of them later.
i picked kogomi at my parents' garden in nagano.
I was just our collecting wild onions and nettles the other day. A plant called Indian cucumber root too, which tastes very much like a cucumber. I love tea made from lemon balm. thanks for sharing this Olga.
ReplyDeletewild onions, carrie, love those, the smell
Deletestems give my hands
i picked them for my
sister near rocky hills
in prague
rose petals, elderflower, and wild river sorrel, unripe almonds (they taste fresh and bitter)
ReplyDeletemint, thyme, parsley, oregano, rosemary, sage, basil, bay leaf and lavender from our small garden, also lemons, and whatever vegetable might be in season.
i remember how happy my father was out on the hills picking wild asparagus, crab apples or capers. i don't think i really understood then.
xenia, i was told
Deletein my childhood, when you get a bay leaf
in your soup bowl while eating - you must
get mail, letter, since then i do believe
remembering these things
even later, days or years,
make it right. i wish i could
say it right
I've just collected borage flowers that are blooming on my window. The girls didn't like them as they have an oyster taste!
