Alžbetin Dvor dnes / Alžbetin Dvor Today

Toť výsledok dnešnej stredne-dlhej prechádzky po poliach s Corkou. Videli sme peknú žltú repku, maličkú kukuricu, pšenicu, všeličo pekné, aj železnicu :-) a peknú pokosenú ulicu Alžbetinho dvora, zvláštny krík, zopár zúrivých psov za bránkami... a okrem iného tiež naše kvetoslavovské domy z opačnej strany od polí.

Celkom príjemná prechádzka :-)

This is the result of our todays mid-long walk with Cora. We saw fields of yellow rape, small corn, wheat and many other interesting stuff like the local railway :-), and nice cut street of Alžbetin Dvor, strange bush, few furious dogs... and except others our new houses from fields-side as well.

Quite nice walk :-)

železnicu má Corka rada... / Cora likes the railway...
akurát by mi vadilo počúvať vlak mnohokrát za deň / but I would be disturbed by listening to its noise manytimes a day

tu sa simuluje zastávka vlaku / a train stop takes place here

pokosené uličky Alžbetinho dvora / precisely cut grass in Alzbetin dvor

Trocha ovocia... / A Bit Of Fruits

Hrozno kvitne / Grapes In Blossom

Pre modranských vinárov trocha neuveriteľná vec (ako skonštatovali): moje hrozno v Lužnej malo v pondelok (3.mája) takéto veľké kvietky:

A strange thing happened (at least to winemakers): my grapes in Lužná had such nice flowers on Monday (May 3rd):

Teraz o týždeň neskôr to vyzerá takto:

And now, a week later, it looks like this:

Kým nevideli fotky, tvrdili že sa mi to len zdá a určite to pučia listy len to neviem rozoznať (ha ha, lebo blondínka, že?).
Keď uvideli fotky, zostali v šoku a skonštatovali, že asi je teda v Lužnej teplejšie ako inde a naozaj to kvitne.

Samozrejme, dostala som aspoň pár dobrých rád (keďže dedko už nežije a iný z našej rodiny sa v tom nevyzná) a viem, že na budúci rok už necháme aj nejaké to ročné drevo na zostarnutie :-)

Until no pictures were available for them, they were sure it just seems to me and those things should be leaves - and it is just me who cannot distinguish leaves from flowers (of course, I am blonde, that´s the reason).
After analyzing my pictures from Monday they were shocked and confirmed that seems Lužná is a much warmer country than other in Slovakia, and those nice things are flowers for sure. (so I am not as blonde...)

Of course, I have got some good advise (as far as my grandfather is not between us anymore and other family members cannot help) and now I know, next year we keep some year-old wood to get older :-)

Zdá sa, že budeme mať celkom zaujímavú úrodu hrozna :-) mňamki-mňam.

Seems we are going to have quite nice harvest of grapes :-) yummyyyy.

Chodník v procese III. / Pavement In The Process III

Takže - po vyše týždni sa chodníkovanie posunulo zase o krok vpred - i keď... zlatým rukám sa saaaamozrejme nechcelo :-) chcelo to dve ranné motivačné sms-ky a jednu túžbu vyslanú do vesmíru, aby sa ranné mraky odpratali už konečne trocha viac na východ.

Výsledok: slnečný deň (i keď trochu chladnejší), vykopaná veľká časť šachty, kopa piesku v skorohotových dvoch chodníkoch a trocha upravený štrk popri čiernych ríbezliach...

Zajtra (dúfam) nakupujeme materiál do šachty, a v pondelok (dúfam) pokračuje Marek s chodníkom.

+++

So - after more than a week the "pavement"-building work moved again a step further - eventhough... golden hands were not really in the best mood :-) buuuut seems it needed two motivating/activating sms and one strong wish sent to the universe, asking the clounds fly away more to the east finally.

The result: a nice sunny day (eventhough cold a bit), digged place for another water installations, putting sand in two already-finished pavements and slightly formed stones besides blackcurrents...

Tomorrow (I hope) we buy all building stuff for the small cellar and on Monday (I hope) Marek will continue here in the garden.
