Kyll\u00e4 se nyt on tunnustettava ett\u00e4 kes\u00e4 alkaa olla ohi. Vaikka p\u00e4iv\u00e4t ovat viel\u00e4 l\u00e4mpimi\u00e4 niin parhaiten syksyn tulemisen huomaa siit\u00e4 ett\u00e4 pyykki ei en\u00e4\u00e4 tahdo kuivua parvekkeella ja kasvit alkavat muuttua ruskeanpuoleisiksi. Lis\u00e4ksi opin juuri jotain uutta Suomesta ja syksyst\u00e4.<\/p>\n

Oletteko koskaan kuulleet juhlista nimelt\u00e4 venetsialaiset? Min\u00e4 en ollut, siit\u00e4k\u00e4\u00e4n huolimatta ett\u00e4 Tampereella niit\u00e4 juhlittiin menneen\u00e4 viikonloppuna kuulemma jo toista kertaa. Lyhyest\u00e4 virsi kaunis: venetsialaiset ovat kuuleman mukaan jo yli 100 vuotta l\u00e4nsirannikolla juhlittu elokuun lopun juhla. Ik\u00e4\u00e4nkuin syksyinen juhannus: poltetaan kokkoja, ammutaan ilotulitteita, grillataan, harrastetaan kuutamouintia, sytytet\u00e4\u00e4n ulos kynttil\u00f6it\u00e4, ulkotulia ja paperilyhtyj\u00e4. Siis aivan t\u00e4ydellinen tapa juhlia sadonkorjuuta ja syksyn alkamista.<\/p>\n

Olen ik\u00e4ni haaveillut omistavani puutarhan jotta voisin j\u00e4rjest\u00e4\u00e4 syksyiset puutarhajuhlat. Sellaiset miss\u00e4 tanssitaan omenapuiden alla, soitetaan savikiekkoja vanhalla grammarilla, herkutellaan salaateilla ja suolaisilla piirakoilla, sytytet\u00e4\u00e4n paperilyhtyj\u00e4 ja kynttil\u00f6it\u00e4 ulos, nautitaan l\u00e4mmitetty\u00e4 mausteista punaviini\u00e4 ja k\u00e4\u00e4riydyt\u00e4\u00e4n huopiin kun ilta alkaa pimenty\u00e4. M\u00e4 vannon ett\u00e4 ensi vuonna j\u00e4rjest\u00e4n venetsialaiset, sitten vaikka tuossa parvekkeella (jotenkin en usko ett\u00e4 vuodessa ehdin s\u00e4\u00e4st\u00e4\u00e4 niin paljon ett\u00e4 saan ostettua vanhan puutalon ja sen puutarhan…)<\/strong><\/span>. Muistuttakaa mua sitten hyviss\u00e4 ajoin!<\/p>\n

Syyskuun alkajaisiksi muistellaan nyt viel\u00e4 v\u00e4h\u00e4n mit\u00e4 kes\u00e4ll\u00e4 tapahtui… nyt ah niin muodikkaan Instagramin muodossa. Hein\u00e4- ja elokuun kollaasit olkaa niin hyv\u00e4t.<\/p>\n

IN ENGLISH<\/strong><\/span>
\nI must now admit that Summer is finally over. Even though the days are still warm you can feel the Autumn in the air: laundry doesn’t get dry on the balcony anymore and plants are starting to turn brown. I also reacently learned something new about Finland and Autumn.<\/p>\n

I assume that none of you my foreign readers have ever heard of Venetian Party in Finland (you must know the real Venetian Carnival in Venice)<\/strong><\/span>. Well, most Finns haven’t heard about them either even though they know the actual Carnival. But apparently it is already over 100 years old tradition on the West Coast of Finland. At the end of August people gather together, burn bonfires, grill good food, go for nightly swims, lit up some paper lanterns and candles and celebrate. It is like the Harvest Feast, but it’s only called Venetians. Funny thing is that even though it is a long and still ongoing tradition, most Finns don’t know anything about it.<\/p>\n

Most of my life I have dreamed about a garden so that I could arrange Autumn feast in the garden. You know, the kind of feast when you dance under the apple trees, play old records on the gramophone, eat delicious salads and pies, lit up paper lanterns and candles, consume intoxicating amounts of warmed spiced red wine and wrap yourself inside warm blankets when it gets chilly at night. I swear I will organize Venetians next year, even if it is just on our balcony (somehow I don’t believe that we are in just one year able to save enough money to buy our own house and garden…)<\/strong><\/span>. Remind me next year in time!<\/p>\n

But even though it is getting colder and darker, let’s remember the summer little while longer… with oh so popular Instagram. July and August collages for your pleasure.<\/p>\n
