11th November 2014
Today is the Independence Day so it is public holiday and we celebrate our Independence.
The Polish Independence Day commemorating Poland’s regained independence on 11th November 1918 after 123 years of partitions and rule by Russia, Prussia and Austria is one of the most important national holidays in Poland. Most Poles spend it in the company of friends and family, enjoying their day off.
But the part of country - Upper Silesia where I live came back to Poland after WWII.
Yesterday I was at my summer house where we spend the long weekend the weather is perfect this year. November is very sunny and hot . I love spending time at my home. Especially I love sitting in my kitchen and observing daily routine of people..and do nothing...

I really like the photo 2873. I've hear of larch trees, but I don't know if we have any here. What is the bird that has stolen your nuts? It is not called a vandal, I think.
ReplyDeleteAndrew, the larch tree is the only coniferous tree which lose their needles for winter in my climate. The vandals are rooks which have stolen my nuts. I am angry about it because every year I bake a cake with my own ecological nuts for Christmas. But luckily I have some from previous year..
DeleteJudging from your previous posts I thought you 'loved' birds ... and now you are going to kill this feathered friend?! ;-)
ReplyDeleteI love birds so I am kidding..
Deletei like crows and blackbirds, too.
ReplyDeletehappy independence day to you.
Now I hate them maybe I will forgive the, Lets see

DeleteHappy Independence Day! I enjoyed the photos.
ReplyDeleteyou are welcome..
DeleteI'm curious about the tincture you are making from your quince, too. Is it a drink? Medicinal? Lovely views from your kitchen. My views are all white now -- from snow.
ReplyDeleteI am going to send you a recipe on your email but at the weekend..Gosia
DeleteI too am curious about what you make from quince.
ReplyDeleteHappy Independence Day - this day is also celebrated in America as Veteran's Day which was started just after WWI was done.
ReplyDeleteI am also curious about Quince.
ReplyDeleteBefore you are hard on the Rook you should read my post from last Tuesday. You might change your mind!!!
ReplyDeleteYou have some nice views/fences in your neighborhood. Sorry that the rook (we call them crows here) stole your nuts. They need to eat too and really are fun birds to watch. I leave peanuts out for them everyday.
