August at the countryside
We took a spontaneous holiday to the countryside last week. We got to enjoy another round of crayfish, which was just heavenly. It was also just us three at the countryside, so it was very calming and lovely. Our three year old enjoyed the crayfish too for the first time, which made me extra happy. We had our own little party by the lake, dressed the table with wild flowers and enjoyed the warmth of August on our faces. We swam and had a sauna every single day, picked mushrooms and berries and made delicious food. You could feel that autumn in the air already, mornings and late evenings were colder and nature seems to be slowly transitioning. Trees had large red rowan berries, we found lots of porcini mushrooms, sunflower fields are blooming and apples are ripening on trees. Lingonberry and heather appear on grounds and there is a lovely freshness in the air. Our countryside is so inspirational, I really relax here by the beautiful lakes and nature far away from the city.
