Total relaxation in the summer

A wonderful weekend at the countryside. Summer. August. This time, I didn't do much in the garden. I just relaxed. This is a new kind of vacation. Previously, I spent a lot of time in the garden and did various things there. And now I'm completely relaxing. Summer. The garden is in its place. Everything is blooming. The garden is blooming! It's wonderful! There are so many different flowers.

I took a lot of photos with my compact Sony DCF T20 camera. It's a good compact model. I took 500 pictures of the flowers in the garden. And also some pictures of the sky. And grass. All this for the blog. I'll be sharing photos all year long. Then the battery died. It seems the battery is working fine.

The weather was great. The clouds in the sky were all different shapes. Blue sky. Beautiful green grass. And flowers. What a great weekend. I remember my first weekend there, several years ago. The same feeling. Simple and calm. Just what I needed. In the evening, I picked up the video camera again. Also a compact one, and a Sony. I took a picture of the sky. And a few flowers. A white aster, for example.

I was watering the garden with a watering can. A 10-liter watering can. With a spout. It drips like rain. It watered my garden perfectly. That's the only thing I've done in the flower garden. I noticed the lupine's leaves have fallen. I think it needs watering. And also, in the evening, I was picking grass in the carrot bed. I was so busy with the flowers that I didn't have time to do the vegetables. Which I also planted. They basically grew on their own. The carrots are small. And the grass is also about the same size as the carrots. So I pulled the grass carefully. I think I cleared it. There's also a spot with parsley. And a spot with a bunch of all sorts of radishes and dill. I need to pull the grass there too.

And I spent most of the day resting. It's like my first visits to this place. Just like summer. I even slept a little. I ate delicious tomato soup. Chicken soup. It was delicious! I drank some delicious tea. And just relaxed all day. I haven't relaxed like this in a long time. I just didn't do anything. This kind of rest is also necessary. It's great to relax in nature. I was sitting in my little room. Walking in the garden.

Finally turned on the computer. My Acer Aspire V371, a Windows 8 computer. V12. A white one. And I tried something. Various games. Something didn't start. I think because there were no OpenGL drivers. It was Need For Speed Porsche Unleashed. With some improvements from some talented programmers. So it would run great on a modern system. But I couldn't play it. Oh well. I wanted to play a racing game. The same result with a similar build of Need For Speed Hot Pursuit 2.

Then I launched Crispy Doom. I just played Doom 1 on it. I just played the first episode. I haven't played it in a while. A Doom modification. It played pretty well. Then I walked in the garden. I finally got to play computer games at the countryside. I also brought another old computer here. Also a laptop. Iru Combo. It has Windows 2000 and Free DOS installed. I'd already forgotten about it. I tried to play Quake for Windows. But I didn't. Because of the keyboard. The laptop has a strange keyboard. And some kind of default mode is set. The Esc key doesn't work. I put it aside. And there's no sound. I don't know how to install the sound driver. It was difficult. I don't know what to look for or where to look. And no help. I turned it off.

Meanwhile, the flowers are growing beautifully in the garden. For example, there's a beautiful white Aster growing there. Already quite tall. And there are various other flowers. I don't remember the names. But I put the papers from the seed packages nearby. And the remains of the packaging are lying in the soil there. And something - I even got it mixed up. So I can't remember the name. A beautiful garden. A great summer. A very good day for relaxing. You could say it was a perfect day for relaxing at the countryside. The only thing I've been doing is continuing to wash the 8x8 cm containers for growing flowers. There are two more rows of them. I still need to wash quite a bit. I'm washing a little at a time. It's getting colder faster. And it's getting darker faster.
