Towards Self-Sufficient Life | NORDIC LIFE #20

Hello, you nature lovers 🥰
In this video, I show a bit of our old, once-forgotten garden that I'm trying to recreate. Our grocery shops are far away so even the thought of being able to harvest from our own yard is amazing 😍
But, since this is North, summer is not summer as how it is supposed to be. But I'm willing to make an extra effort trying to have this garden grow and produce again.
I hope you enjoy this, a part of my world 💚
*
I'm a nature lover and creative soul living far North of Finland. I live in a remote village, in an old farmhouse, travel in the North, and seek inspiration in the wild nature around me.
I create photographs, videos, and music, inspired by this Nordic nature and its magic.
Welcome to my world 💛

    Such Stunningly beautiful scenery. I have very similar reactions to yours when I am out in nature; the beautiful feeling of the stillness and the exhilaration of the air, and just the aliveness of it all. I also love to knit I find it to be very therapeutic, and, like you, I wish I had a wonderful yarn store nearby, so that I didn’t have to order it online, which is not the same as seeing and feeling it in person, when you are making a choice! I love your cozy, living practices, and your adorable little pups!❤

    No sorry Sanna here we are experiencing a mini heat wave that has so far lasted us 2 weeks without a drop of rainfall. And the thunderstorms forecast to freshen our winds, did not materialise as expected but inland trees gained from the downpours, so hopefully will top up our rivers with run off. Didn't expect to see more snow fall but as your video points out that is Northern Nordic life for you, expect the unexpected and hope it does not last. Cheers for sharing and take care. From Aberdeen in Scotland.

    How wonderful that you have started your garden. Good luck with it and I wish you a nice harvest from your own garden. 😍❤ If I could I would send you some warmth. I really enjoyed your Vlog 👍 Here in the Netherlands it has been extremely dry for weeks with wind, making it even drier even faster. It is also very hot. We've had temperatures above 30 degrees for a few days now. And in Limburg we are already experiencing the first heat wave. Here I hope it rains soon. But it doesn't look like that's going to happen any time soon.
