My Saturday was spent visitng a small piece of heaven on earth: a cottage in the woods. The sun was shining, the grass was green, and nature had taken over in more than one sense. Sometimes it should just be left to do it’s magic, like on the side of the barn. I spotted this stone-with-a-built-in-tree in the forest. Cool eh? More flowers… but it’s impossible to resist when the apple tree decides to show off its white and pink beauty. My inner princess is satisfied. Perfect Sunday-mood with heavy rain – as long as you’re inside and can watch through a window. Sunshine all day long, 20 degrees and now the rain is pouring down. This is what summer is like in Scandinavia! But the garden is full of brigt yellow dandelions so all is well. When I was out biking yesterday, I found the forest floor covered in a blanket of white anemones. When I came home Wikipedia then taught me that the word ‘anemone’ comes from the Greek word Άνεμος ‘ meaning wind. Forest, bike, wind, anemones, a Greek word and new knowledge … what a productive day I’ve [...] Blue sky in the forest. Summer is coming and the bike has been out for the first time this year. Perfect. So. To celebrate a special day, we took a walk into the forest, where we sat by the lake and had coffee and homemade carrot cake. Beautiful and good for the soul (and belly). Oh the joy of spring-flowers appearing in our garden. Not a lot of them, but pretty indeed. Minus 10 degrees and a world covered in sugary frost. I love this! Had lunch in the forest yesterday, and saw the first small signs of seriuos winter: ice on the lake. Still very thin and crispy, but soon it will be hard and thick enough to walk on. |
