blatnica - watson´s house - summer

spomínam si na nepublikovateľné slová chlapov zo záhradkárskej firmy, keď sa snažili vykopať diery na sadenie stromov a kríkov v zemi plnej skál... bola som na mieste prvý krát... bolo leto, stavba bola v plnom prúde. ..vysádzala sa záhrada... prekladať z angličtiny požiadavky architekta slovenským robotníkom bolo miestami nad moje sily... niekedy som to radšej neskúšala a zachovávala diplomatické ticho...

nasledujúca jesenná výsadba, alebo skôr brigáda (pracovali architekti spolu s domácimi) sa konala na dušičky - presne pred rokom... a ruže sa sadili do snehu...nakoniec sa všetko ujalo a toto leto mali takéto prekvapenie...

...ako na prázdninách u starej mamy...

I remember “slightly harsh” words of the gardeners when they were digging holes in even harsher stony ground to plant the trees and hedges...it was the first time that I had been here, in Blatnica...it was summer, and the house build was in full swing...the garden had been planted...translating requests of my French brother in law, who designed the garden, to the Slovak workers was at times beyond me... sometimes I didn’t bother to do it at all, keeping diplomatic silence...

the next planting was in the autumn around All Saints Day... this time, the owners were working together with the architects...exactly one year ago... they had to plant the roses in the first, unexpectedly fallen snow...in the end everything survived and this summer they had a very nice surprise...

...it resembled holidays at grandmother’s, in the countryside...
