time atc's

Over at DCM they have a time-challenge. And it happens to coincide with an atc swap of the same theme hosted by Sandy.
I made the atc's today. These are actually my first ever! I instantly fell in love with the format. It's small, smaller than I would do a greeting card, but still substantial.

So this is what I came up with. I started thinking of the various times of the year. Yes, there are the seasons, but I don't mean those. I mean the time when berries get ripe and you make jams and compotes (it is a big deal in Austria, it's called Einmachzeit). The card tells you: boil them up, puree them, it is time already.In Finland, on the other hand, they love wild mushrooms, so there is a name for the time when mushrooms get ripe. (sieniaika)
By the way, some are cropping up already, but if the weather continues half sunny, half rainy, there will be a bumper crop in a few weeks!
And of course, the clock says tic-toc.

And time flows. (No, here in the North it doesn't fly, it just meanders along like a lazy river.)
