It is safe to say that summer has finally arrived. And along with it a lot of sun, ice creams and walks in the surrounding nature. In the area that we live in, there is a lot of small ponds. They attract the most amazing wildlife which is why we love to visit them with our kids who always wants to bring their small fish nets and a bucket and try and catch and study the animals they can find.
Storms favorite catch is definitely frogs. He is still too small to actually catch them himself, but he has learned that Isabell is more than willing to help him. They spot them together and she catch them with her little pink fish net. No doubt she finds them a bit disgusting, so she just hands the net to him while she secretly wrinkles her nose. Storm however, just takes them right out of her net and study each one closely before he eventually releases them back into the pond. It is so cute to see them work together.
Isabell is much more fascinated by the dragonflies and flowers. And at this season one flower in particular has understandably caught her eye; Lady's Mantle. Its yellow-green flowers are in bloom from June until August and covers the banks as a thick carpet of flowers. It is truly stunning and she is making large and beautiful bouquets for her mum.
Lady's Mantle has during history been used as a herbal remedy for both internal and external use and became a very popular wound herb on the battlefields during the 15th and 16th century. It was also known as a women's best friends because it was thought to cure a lot of womens diseases. Another fascinating thing about this flower is the story of how the medieval alchemists collected rain water beads from their cup formed leaves. They considered this water to be the purest form of water possible and they utilized it in their quest to turn base metal into gold. Hence its Latin name Alchemilla.
The color of this wrap is a mix of yellow-green and light grey. The shine of the silk reminds us of how the dewdrops shines on the leaves on a beautiful summer morning and the yellow takes us back to a hot summer day at the pond.
