Since my last entry...
July already... has it really been well over four months since my my last entry? And if that really is the case, why come back now...?
I seem to recall that the past winter and early spring were the warmest ever, that we had lovely visitors for Easter, that 30 something lambs were born between early March and late April, that we got 26 two day old chickens before Easter.
I recall visiting the Emerald Isle twice (in May and in June) and that I had a short visit to Finland in June.
I remember April and May were chilly and wet, and that June was the coolest ever (or very nearly, in the least...)
And what do I have to show for it all... not much, really. No blog equals no photos, it seems!
But of course every season, every summer, every month... indeed every day, is different, and definitely worth recording and photographing.
So why did I close my blog back in February? No drama, no tragedy behind it all. Just me thinking enough is enough. After five and a half years what is there really to blog about?
But after having taken some time off I discovered I really miss it. That I really want to record it all. The seasons, the months, the weeks and the days. And what better way to do it than in a blog...?

Hello Mia and welcome back!
So lovely to see photos of your beautiful garden and flowers again. Blogging is a great way of recording the seasons in your garden as well as events in your life and things you have made!

Oh my goodness gracious me!!!! I am so happy you are back and open to all. I'd only just found you and then you went awol. I'd been adoring skipping through your archives so I'm delighted you have started up again.
Your garden is looking wonderful and it's good to hear you had a wonderful and busy time while you weren't blogging. I agree blogging (and Instagram) is a wonderful way to preserve your memories.
Welcome back...and Hello!

Greetings from Argentina!
Welcome back! Welcome back!
Oh, happy day! You're back :))) i have missed you, your lovely blog brightens my days :)

Oh, Mia! It is just lovely to see you again! I'm short of time, right now, but, even though I take long breaks blogging, too - I really, really missed you! You're a refreshment!
I've been in the garden for what feels like nonstop for three months, now. I'm digging new borders.
Inch by inch, anything's a cinch? Seeing your beautiful, beautiful garden is a boost! =]
Best wishes!
Love,
Katy xxoo
So glad you are back! Missed your pretty pictures & your peaceful spirit that shines through on your blog. :)
I'm so glad you are back! Your beautiful flowers and lovely projects were sorely missed.
Welcome back. You have such a lovely garden and it is nice to record each season through your blog. You give us inspiration too with your beautiful garden and handcrafts.
I was so happy to see your blog pop up in my reader!! I was so sad when your blog vanished and I look forward to catching up with you! Welcome back!!
Welcome back, I really missed you!
Mia, it is delightful to see this new post from you. As a regular reader of your posts, I have had the great pleasure of seeing many Scandanavien seasons in a way that would not otherwise been available to me here in New York.
You are a fabulous ambassador!
How wonderful to see this post just after the summer equinox, when your days are still long and your garden in full, beautiful bloom.

Welcome back, your blog exudes such calm and beauty.
I was so pleased and surprised to see a post from you pop up in my reader. I have missed seeing your corner of the world through blogging. Your home is so full of charm and personality, and your garden displays the seasons so well.
Welcome back!
Oh, I am soooo happy to see you again!!! I missed you very much!
I missed your beautiful photos of your garden...Thank you for coming back and bloging again!
Welcome back, Mia. I could say all the things from above and many many other, but I want to say only one: http://antiplictis.blogspot.ro/2012/04/mias-landliv.html
I wrote about you closing your blog in April. I was worried about you and definetly missing all your posts which are full of a special atmosphere, so stop wondering what to write about. Just be yourself and we'll love you for what you show us.
so glad you are back Mia, I checked a couple of times and was worried. Glad is all ok.
I have pu a few sentens yesterday, but I will try again.
I am glad that you are back.
You inspired me to weite my own blog http://zivljenje-s-konceptom.blogspot.com/.
Welcome back! I really missed your happy photos but I also understand the rest as I am not blogging right now either and feel no desire to do so. Cherrie
I've been reading your blog for a while, but never commented before. I AM SO GLAD YOU ARE BACK. I enjoy so much photos of your beautiful garden, and your quilting and your crochet. Thank you for coming back.
Det gleder meg veldig at du er tilbake!! Har alltid hatt stor glede av å tavdel i dine håndarbeider. Gleder meg til fortsettelsen :-)
Dear Mia - I am so glad you are back! Your gardens are as lovely as ever this year :) I enjoy all the photos you share. Thank you!
Smiles, DianeM
But people would have liked it if you said goodbye rather than disappeared! People think of you highly and read you regularly and made nice comments and treated you respectfully. It is very dismissive to just go, and suggests a lack of respect for your readers and shows that they care more for you than perhaps you do for them. A chance to wish you well and say goodbye would have been appreciated by many I am sure, for they would have been sad that you were no longer blogging.
Another well known blogger just disappeared too. When people say they like what you do and act in a friendly manner it is authentic, it seems rude to not acknowledge this. People worry when the blogging just stops and were sad and disappointed to find you gone. Sometimes it is for reasons of great upset which is understandable, and there is no need to tell the reader what is going on, but when it is simply a choice it makes sense and is good manners to say goodbye. After all a friend who walks out of your home without a word would leave you wondering too. Not the same thing no, but we are still people and still view you in a friendly way and hope for the same back. The reasons are none of our business but a word of goodbye would have been appreciated.
Anyway, yes welcome back. I am sure you have been missed
So glad you're back Mia!!!!
Welcome back I've missed you too. You have certainly had better weather than we have had in wet Scotland!!

I've been keeping an eye out to see if there was anything from you and wondering how your garden was doing - it was the bright spot in my week. So imagine my delight to realize those beautiful roses on my screen were yours! I'm so glad you decided to blog again. As I've mentioned before, I live in the city and just have a few pots of flowers - no garden, so I love watching your garden through the seasons and seeing you wonderful home and your beautiful handiwork. Thanks so much for sharing with us. You've made my day!

For en hyggelig overraskelse å finne deg tilbake !
Har savnet dine nydelig, inspirerende innlegg - Velkommen tilbake Mia :)
Dear Mia, Thank you for sharing your thoughts and creations and the way you live. It always affirms the beauty and possibilities that I feel inside, but can't always express - but when I read your blog, I breathe a deep "Thank you -- yes, that is what I am inside, too!" I treasure each visit to your blog and appreciate the time you take to share yourself with us. All the best to you, Tracy
Mia... What a delight to find that you are back! Your lovely photos and thoughts were sorely missed. Hope that you will stay around. Seeing your pretty handmade pieces inspires me to pull out the yarn, hooks, and pretty fabric for long delayed projects. I so enjoy experiencing life on the other side of the world. Hope you visit mine sometime. Susan
I just found out you are back...Oh happy day! I love your blog your pictures and if I could meet you in person I would consider it a pure joy added to my life ! So glad to see you again. Now I'm going to catch up on all your post. Glad you are well.
Your crochet and quilting projects are inspirations for me :0)
