Cee’s challenge is to find the colour White. Click for more entries!
I have chosen three different whites – A ceiling in the beautiful home of a friend of mine, a delicate flower from the Pyreneés and a lovely horse from Jämtland ( photo taken this weekend).
A short story about a plane, a tree and a cloud in Östersund. This is my contribution to Threes
Work – what do I think of when I think of working? At Where’s My Backpack ? Ailsa wants us to show how we think. For me, I guess much of it is about hard work with your hands, but also work together with animals. We will never manage without their help, even if technology is taking over…other values are at stake here…
Sitting Under My Tree just now is a guest post on the Golden Temple of Amritsar. Welcome!
BBC News – Korea: rare family reunions take place.
Today it was on TV. North and South Koreans meet after many years apart. These meetings are so restricted and often cancelled, which means that many (most) of the 70 000 on the waiting list will never get the chance. Many of them are more than 80 years old.
My husband visited North Korea in 2012 on the 100 years’ jubileé of Kim Il Sung. The man they treat as their God. Ordinary people live in hell here. They starve and infiltrate and are sent to death or to camps never to return. A devastating experience, from which he was glad to escape in one piece. He and his company where never allowed to meet ordinary people, never allowed to walk unguarded, and only allowed to take photos when they were permitted.
At the border the guards confiscated memory cards or emptied them. My husband managed to hide one in his clothes, so the pictures are here…showing parades and city buildings. Everything is grey. I’m glad I didn’t join him on this trip.
Orange is beautiful and oranges are tasty. My choices for this challenge are some of my favourite oranges…
Omplantering som alltid vecka 8. I år blev jag tvungen att ta ner den ena av de stora monsterorna – den hade blivit alltför hög och ohanterlig. En gång tidigare har jag tagit ner båda två. Båda togs som sticklingar för ca 38 år sedan. Då stod de på min gamla arbetsplats i en stor samplantering.Nu finns inte min gamla arbetsplats längre. Eftersom jag träffade några av mina gamla arbetskamrater i helgen tog jag med stambitar med vidhängande blad till dem alla – ett levande minne av svunna tider.
I övrigt några av de orkideer som blommar just nu – och förstås min ryska begonia…
As usual my pot plants get some new soil and some grooming this week in February. But, this year I had to take down one of the big Monstera Deliciosas – it had grown to the ceiling. This weekend I happened to have dinner with some of my old friends who worked together a long time ago in the same building (it does not exist any more) where I got those Monsteras as cuttings, some 38 years ago…So, now I decided to divide my Monstera into big enough pieces to plant, and then hand them out to my friends. A living memory from days gone by.
Of course I have to show some of the orchids starting now – mostly phalaenopsis. In some weeks there will hopefully be more of them – two cattleyas are budding and more phalaenopsis.
There is only one choice – or two. My greatest Treasures are my children. Nothing compares to them in my life. So much fun and happy times, so much laughter and so much Love. Thank you for being here and being you.
I searched my house for Romance – I didn’t have to travel far away…
And here it is…
…the road to my Heart
Happy Valentine’s Day!
