We are looking forward to flax field blossoming! Now I’m right here – sun is slightly tanning my skin
Flowered this morning!
July 15, 2015
It is unbelievable beauty, so inspiring and magic - fields flowered this morning! Blooming flax field reminds me a blue lake, which is trembling and softly sparkling with every graze of wind. Delicate petals literally melt in my hand while touching. It will take a day, or two to bloom and after this beauty will fly away with winds, but the main treasure will stay here. So little time for feasting eyes on this charming view!

Today is the first day of harvesting. That is the most important thing inlinen culture - optimal time of field cleaning.

This is the last day of linen harvesting this year. The fields are mainly empty. Now all the bundles are tied and soaked, almost ready for layering open air.
Magic of nature processes

Now it’s time to spread all the sheaves untied all over the free empty fields - to be wet and dried under the rains, winds, dew, snows. That’s an engrossing process - how the earth will take the moisture from stems, how rains and dews will destroy protective layer, and make the fiber free naturally. Amazing!
