Both sparrows and tits winter in our climate zone, so the idea of an early migration to warmer climes is out of the question. The situation is strange because this phenomenon hasn't occurred in the last few…madventure in # blurt • 1 day ago • 1 min readA moderately warm day, pleasant and not tiringToday's slight cool-down has had a positive impact on my well-being. First of all, I slept well and started the day with green tea instead of coffee. I set off for another walk towards the garden located near the Silesian Stadium. I've been going there for some time now and I feel very comfortable there. The surroundings are…madventure in # blurt • 2 days ago • 2 min readFlowers with medicinal properties known from our gardens and beyondFlowers with medicinal properties known from our gardens and beyond This species of flower is very common in our gardens and parks. I took these photos in the park, and interestingly, this species grows there in two colors, each in different stages of development.

I don't grow my own, but I received three large pumpkins from friends who didn't know what to do with them. As it turned out, I also had trouble using them. We ate some of them right away, making creamy pumpkin soup and pumpkin pancakes. Some ended up in the marinade, but we still had a lot left.

On the occasion of photographing flowers, it was difficult to bypass busy insects, which were plenty of. But it is not Here, for example, very…madventure in # blurt • 10 days ago • 1 min readA slightly warmer and pleasant ThursdaySnails in action. They spotted a young tree mushroom and decided to start munching on it. I can't tell what kind of mushroom it is yet, as it's too young. Today turned out to be a perfectly fine day for a walk. Not too cold, not too warm, and no rain - perfect.

I grow mostly edible plants, but I also grow some purely ornamental ones. This year's balloon garden season is unfortunately significantly delayed due to the May winter and significant frosts. Therefore, the plants went into the ground about two weeks later than…madventure in # blurt • 12 days ago • 1 min readBy the pond - some autumn and winter memoriesIt's gotten a bit cooler—or rather, cold, because 14 degrees Celsius in July is unfamiliar to me. So I visited my gallery of autumn and winter photos and decided to post them. My favorite place to watch the sunset, especially, is the Maroko Pond near my apartment. I'm near this pond almost every day, and the sunsets there always fascinate…madventure in # blurt • 13 days ago • 2 min readCzech beer Primator "N" in natural surroundings and beyondThe mysterious name "N" beer from the Primator brewery is nothing more than a non-alcoholic beer. They don't brag about it much, and instead of putting 0.0% on the label, they decided to write "nealko". Maybe it's a good marketing strategy, I don't know. Today, with such beautiful weather, I decided to go for a walk with a beer and…madventure in # blurt • 14 days ago • 2 min readOkocim Light Non-Alcoholic Beer and Sunday Stewed Pork NeckI've recently taken up testing non-alcoholic beers and I have to admit that there are winners and losers among them.

It was not very intense, but it effectively stirred nature to life - I mean mainly the flowers, which have begun to release their wonderful essential oils. That is why I limited today's walk only to the Silesian Park, and ended it in the Rosarium. At the…madventure in # blurt • 16 days ago • 2 min readRain is needed immediately, otherwise there will be no mushroomsThe prolonged drought has caused fewer and fewer mushrooms in the forest. Sometimes you can even come across a boletus, but you have to be very lucky, know the area very well and generally look for these mushrooms in places where there is still some moisture. Lack of water and high temperatures are not conducive to mushrooms. This can be…madventure in # blurt • 17 days ago • 1 min readIt's a hot day and the park is green and lushDespite the lack of rain and high temperatures, the greenery still has its beautiful, juicy color. The view from my room onto the concrete jungle makes me realize what an advantage old housing estates and apartment blocks have, with trees that are decades old. The view is decent, and in the fall it is even more beautiful.

But it succeeded even with a rather decent result. Today without a combination, I spent most of my time in the park, but the rest above the pond, where a nice cooler breeze appeared.
