Two Aquarius in the Alps

A special delivery day! Miki is expecting a parcel :) - a box full of delicious treats. He always gets excited about boxes, but when the box is full of things that he loves to eat, that's another thing.

We love flowers and always get excited about planting more in our garden. While annual plants require more work, since you plant them every year and they die at the end of the season, perennials are a great addition to each garden - you plant them once and enjoy their beauty for years.

Foraging is an amazing experience - you go for a walk in the forest, and if you are lucky, you find something delicious that you can bring home. Nature is that incredible, we just have to return to our roots and try to be more self-sufficient instead of running to the shop for everything.

Following our dream to become self-sufficient, we are developing our garden project, planting many different vegetables, just to see what we can grow on our land. After so many years living in a flat, having a place where we can grow our food is a huge change and also a huge challenge to get used to all that hard physical work. :)

After installing the new windows last year, our old house renovation continues. Will the house collapse? We have to knock down a wall on the first floor, but it's a 40-year-old house, and we are not sure if the house construction is stable enough.

We have almost half a meter of snow after a very heavy snowfall. Yesterday it was snowing during the whole day, and it kept snowing at night. We had to make a way to our garden, cleaning lots of wet snow.

In 2022, we bought an abandoned house in the Alps that needs complete renovation. Our house renovation project started with the new windows, and we made our first mistake.

Our new home is in a small village surrounded by a beautiful forest. It’s the first snowfall since we moved here, and we are going on a walk. Nature looks magical -trees covered with snow, a peaceful and quiet forest.

In autumn we planted some hardy vegetables and left them covered, hoping this will protect them during the cold days. Then we left the house and came back in January for some house reconstruction work.

In 2022 we bought an old house that needs renovation. The house is located in a small beautiful village in the Slovenian Alps.
