Uusi matka / A New Journey


On syyskuun ensimmäinen. Illat pimenevät jo nopeammin kuin haluaisin. Toissayönä lämpömittarissa oli neljä astetta. Syksyssä on paljon hyvää: palavan puun tuoksu leviää tupaan leivinuunista, pihka rätisee ja paukkuu liekeissä. Sieniaika alkaa. Voi vetää päälle nahkatakin. Ilma tuoksuu vielä elämältä. 

Unikot vetelevät viimeisiään, uusi matka alkaa. Tervetuloa blogiin! 




The first of September. It is starting to get dark earlier than I'd like. The overnight temperatures hover around 5 degrees celcius - that's around 40 degrees Fahrenheit. There are many things to be happy about: the scent of burning wood lingers in the kitchen, pine resin cracks and pops in the fire. It's time for mushrooms and leather jackets. The autumn air still smells like life.

The poppies are on their last legs. A new journey begins. Welcome to the blog!

    1. Niinpä! Ei nää ulkoasujutut ole kovinkaan vaikeita - kun pääsee vähän alkuun, niin sitten uskaltaa kokeillakin kaikenlaista uutta, joka saattaa ekaks näyttää vaativalta. :)

  2. How can I miss someone so much who I don't even know? When I saw your Signposts blog in my feed today I actually gasped in surprise. Yours was one of my absolute favorite blogs ever and I have really missed you. I am looking forward to reading posts here and getting a glimpse of your life again.

    1. So nice to hear from you, Robin! It is weird, isn't it - the internet "friendships" that develop between blogs. So happy you are here! :)

  4. Hello again! Glad to see you posting once more. I know I used to read your blog regularly, but I'm not sure if I ever added my voice in the comments. It's been a bit of a year. I too had taken a step back from the internet over this past year. My situation however was due to some unfortunate harassment both on and offline. I'm just playing catch up on all my old online haunts this summer/autumn. I hope to get back to regular reading and hope to see you in my post feed. Cheers!

    1. Hello summertime dreams, nice to hear from you! I'm so sorry you've had to deal with harassment - that's awful, and way too common these days, both online and off. I had an experience like that last year with my Finnish blog, and it took me a while to gather my courage to start writing again. But you'll certainly see me in your post feed from now on! :)
