Weather has shifted. It´s cooler. There is more winds, clouds. The rainfalls are intense and intermittent. I love August. It´s still Summer but with a chill in the air…All the meadow flowers are gone. I reach for a wool jumper in the morning, on the way to the kitchen. I make a mate (tea) and step on the terrace, inhale…, and watch the fog over the fields. Autumn is slowly on his way, and it is my most favourite season.We are packing this morning to go to our cottage further North.

Blueberries resonate with early Autumn. The Weather is likely colder on the island as we are further North. There is rain and winds. We wear wool jumpers paired with rain gear. While Hannu is working on a wood project, I am going to collect for hours blueberries. It´s so peaceful.
