 A group of high school boys offered their services in the little courtyard garden today in exchange for a donation to charity. 

Through the kitchen window -

They did a great job of cleaning up and weeding -

The sun appeared for a bit, to warm up the succulents and my stones from the Baltic sea off the Åland islands -

and lurked as I walked to the supermarket

noticing that the roses are beginning to bloom around the neighbourhood.
