In the header – The caterpillars of the Peacock butterfly sitting on the upper parts, and, the undersides of leaves of a nettle plant.

Today is the Nordic event of Wild Flowers’ Day. Originating in Denmark, the purpose is to give people the possibility of finding, learning about and enjoying the diversity of wild plants in nature, in order to have an even more intense experience when spending time outdoors.

Det samnordiska evenemanget ”De vilda blommornas dag” har sina rötter i Danmark, där det har arrangerats ända sedan år 1988. Syftet med de vilda blommornas dag är att människor skall få möjlighet att upptäcka, lära känna och glädjas åt den mångfald av vilda växter, som vår natur bjuder på, och på så sätt få en rikare naturupplevelse.

This event started at 10 a.m and the flower walk, arranged by local botanists, lasted for three hours. I’ll be happy to bring you along! For more events, click here.

Celebrating Mother at Hovdala Castle

A nice lunch at the restaurant and then a stroll in the beautiful surroundings was perfect for my mother’s 81st birthday.

We were lucky with the weather…

…and with roses and poppies as well.

The conservatory has been restored over the years, and is now a building used for exhibitions as well as wedding ceremonies.

Inside is a cool, white dream.

My mother was happy today – and so were we.

We went to the summer house for some days. On the way, we caught our daughter at the airport – summer holidays are here. We also visited a very dear friend of ours and their 7 weeks old puppies. Totti was the proud grandfather – and his daughter Ella was the perfect mother. Busy days….

Meet some of the youngsters here! I do not have to tell you that they were Not posing…not a second…

Are you OK, dear?

Socks taste delicious…

…no use trying to escape!

Maybe a piece of camera bag?

Or a piece of hair…

Or simply one another

A nap after dinner is not wrong…

…nor a kiss…

Mmmm

I guess I got an extra heart ♥ swelling today.

In my garden I suddenly had a couple of poppies…coming from nowhere, they were just there.

This year there are quite many of them, and I love to sit down beside their nodding heads and watch them unfold…

…admiring their fragile beauty.

Milles kungarike

This day, 14 year ago, a remarkable friendship started between me and one of my most beloved friends ever. Mille. He came to us on May 9 and will stay for ever in our memories even if he left us, May 9, two years ago.

These two pictures were among the first ones I posted on my blog. I am very grateful for all the happy memories.

Totti is almost always happy, and many things make me happy as well – this is only a tiny selection…In fact, I like being happy, so I am constantly working on it…Thank you, Cee, for the reminder!
