From Straw Cottage to Straw Hat

So here we are again. The summer is giving in to the spring and we are finding ourselves with some sunshine on our backs and tools in our belts. We can shed the insulated jumpers and slip into something a little bit more comfortable like a straw hat.

We can take breaks outside.

On one of these sunny days, our glass wine bottles cast a decorative light around the “sunflower window.”

Sometimes we get down to business and play wack-a-mole.

But seriously, the dacha crew whistles while it works and is taking advantage of this weather to prepare for another productive season.
