A Visit to the Countryside

On Wednesday evening, Tiina invited me to join her and her mom on a visit to the countryside.  Tiina's sister, Leena, lives in a quaint home that sits on a beautiful piece of land about fifteen minutes outside of the city.  I am not sure I can describe just how lovely this place is in writing, so I've put together a photo tour below.  Enjoy.

After bypassing a tractor on a narrow gravel
road, we arrived at Leena's house. 
White wooden siding with a red roof.  Idyllic.

Tervetuloa.  This welcome sign hangs on the front door.

Leena recently got a new puppy, Mosku! 
Sooo cuuute.  With the energy of a two-year-old child,
this small ball of fur can win over any heart.

Mosku chews on a pink flower pot, while
Tiina and Repe (the older dog) get a picture. 
Did I mention that Mosku is super cute?!

After spending some quality time with the dogs,
Tiina showed me around.  To the left of the house are
several small red buildings.  The doorway Tiina is
peeking out of is the entrance to a lovely summer
bedroom (which even has a wooden rocking horse)!

The small details both inside and outside are incredible.

To the left of the bedroom is the Kanttura Kanttiini,
Old Cow Canteen.  Completely decked out with cow
curio, this room serves as a nice gathering place for
summer festivities.

Among the flying cows and spotted toys, I found a cow hat!

Just outside the cow canteen is this wooden dance floor.

  

After touring the place, I had a nice dinner with Tiina,
Leena and their mom inside the house.  Cucumber and
cheese sandwiches with a cup of tea.  Delicious.
