Eile aitasin ühel väliseestlasel tema suvekodus uue kanga telgedele rakendada. Üllatuseks selgus, et rootslased käärivad ( ta oli kanga Roostsis käärida lasknud) vaid ühe vahelikuristi, seega tuli natuke topelttööd teha. Kangas sai siiski üles ja paistis üsna korras olevat.
Kõpust tagasi tulle põikasin läbi meie orhideedeaiast Kõrgessaares. Seal peaks olema neid 10 liiki. Mina nägin vist 4 või 5 liiki õitsemas. Pildid ei tulnud eriti head, sest ilm kiskus pilve ja paari tunni pärast oli valgusefektidega vihm ka platsis.


Yesterday I helped one Estonian who lives in Sweden in Stockholm and has summerhouse on Hiiumaa, to put up new yarn on the loom. There was some difference between Estonian and Swedish wrapping yarn, and I had to do some works again but now she can weave what she wants.
When I came back from Kõpu I visited local short but atractive orchid trail. In small area are growing 11 protected species – ten different orchids and a composite, Serratula tinctoria. All species are natural and not planted. Island of Hiiumaa is very rich in species – here have been recorded about 1000 species of vascular plants, 86 of them are protected. In Estonia can be found 37 different orchids, 31 species are growing on Hiiumaa
Tonight is first Midsummer day party here. Tomorrow is actually right day, but everyone want to do they own fire and party and because of that is so early start.
Wikipedia say:" Estonians celebrate "Jaaniõhtu" ("John's Night" in English) on the eve of the Summer Solstice with bonfires. On the islands of Saaremaa and Hiiumaa, old fishing boats may be burnt in the large pyres set ablaze. The celebrations that accompany Jaaniohtu are the largest and most important of the year"
