Solnica Salt cellar

Ta prekrasna solnica,

delo izvrstne keramičarke Tike,

napolnjena s tradicionalno pridelano piransko soljo

iz Krajinskega parka Sečoveljske soline,
je najino darilce moji mami za rojstni dan;

This gorgeous salt cellar

made by excellent ceramist Tika

and filled with traditionally produced Piran salt

from Sečovlje Salina Nature Park

is a gift from Miro and me to my mother for her birthday:

Voda Water

Medtem ko se zasnežena črnobela

grafika pokrajine zunaj šele spreminja v vodo,

se notri sončne barve že igrajo z njo. 

While outside snowy black and white
 landscape graphic is yet turning into water,

sunny colors are already playing with it inside.

Zima Winter

V vsak letni čas se vedno znova sproti zaljubim

in tako sem tudi ta trenutek prepričana,

da je najlepša ravno zima.

Do pomladi seveda.

Pravzaprav poletja.

Ne, jeseni!

No, pa smo spet naokoli,

zato je zares nepotrebno objokovati čas, ki ga ni,

ampak uživati v tistem, ki je.

V vsakem primeru, vse pride spet naokrog.

Uživajte torej,
konec koncev je ena od privlačnosti zime
ravno sanjarjenje o vročem poletju! :)

I fall in love in every season over and over again

and so I’m sure once again,

that winter is the most beautiful of all.

Until spring of course.

Actually until summer.

No, till fall!

And so, we’re back around

and that is why it is completely unnecessary

to cry over the time that is not present,

and rather enjoy the one that is.

In any case, everything comes around.

Therefore enjoy,
after all, one of the coolest things about winter is,
that we can daydream about hot summer! :)

Najljubši zajtrk Favourite breakfast

Proti koncu dneva,

ki mi je postregel z odličnim kosilom,

ob skodelici popoldanskega čaja

in na pragu premišljevanja o današnji večerji

vam tu pripenjam svoj najljubši zajtrk;

Towards the end of the day

that served me with a delicious lunch,

by the afternoon cup of tea

and on the verge of thinking about tonight’s dinner

I’m pinning here for you my favourite breakfast:

Dober tek! :)

Novembrska nedelja Sunday in November

Barve na nebu, srce na tleh,

žile na zidu in zgodovina vsenaokoli;

Colors in the sky, heart on the ground,
