Cook for Sylvain Landry this week. We are all longing for spring and summer now, and I thought I should shake you up a bit… I do not know if the header drinks will fit in, so I add
… the strawberry cake of course!

Pilot Fish Trailblazer Nominee: Astrid Lindgren
Patti Moed over at Pilot Fish runs a series featuring Trailblazers from all over the world. I was lucky enough to get my nominee, Astrid Lindgren, featured! Do read about the other interesting trailblazers – some of them you may never have heard of.
This week’s guest blogger is Ann-Christine Påhlson, who is introducing our first Pilot Fish Trailblazer nominee from Sweden. Ann-Christine, who is a marvelous photographer and writer, hosts the blog Leya. Her nominee is the author of the book Pippi Longstocking, loved by children and adults around the world.
And so I write the way I myself would like the book to be – if I were a child. I write for the child within me. — Astrid Lindgren

My children and I hopped on the Story Train at Junibacken in Stockholm about a dozen or so years ago, for a journey through the recreated, imaginary children’s world of the writer Astrid Lindgren. It was her own voice, so familiar, that guided us through the journey.
We listened to her stories, with lumps in our throats and tears in our eyes…

WPC: State of Mind
The sun spread its glory from a blue sky today – Spring is coming! My state of mind says I am dancing with the tulips, even if they are fading. Even if I am fading. The world is still beautiful on a day like this.
Cee’s Black & White Photo Challenge: Sepia Tones Only
My daughter used to play concerts, transverse flute and guitar. Now she only plays in the university orchestra. Here she is dressed up for a concert, some years ago.

The Lark has Arrived –
They say the lark has arrived in Skåne – the southernmost landscape of Sweden. That is where I live, but I have not heard her yet…Every year they come early, trying to be the first ones to find a place to nest…and every year some of them will die – when winter will not let go. Nesting on the ground is dangerous in any case.
That is the way life works. You have to be brave and take risks in order to succeed. Migrating birds, people who have to leave their home countries in order to survive. But we all have to face this – maybe not risking our lives…but still.
And Winter has not loosened his grip, yet. We are patiently waiting…all except Totti. This is his season, his temperature, his joy. Lagotto Romagnolos do not come with a zip…

Let There Be Light!
Light. It is returning – and today there was a feast in my windows.
All plants receive it with the greatest joy – the light
Cambria
Kalanchoe
Rex begonia
And so do we…frozen human beings. We step out of the darkness – and enjoy
Cacti
”Russian” Begonia
Fading Tulips
So, welcome – let the light shine in – and click to enlarge, as usual!
SL – WEEK 34: Trees
Sylvain Landry. My favourite theme…Trees. They are an important part of my life. In fact…in many ways they represent Life to me. My Silent Sunday entry from my ”own” forest, should have been my entry here…but I will have to pick another one.
From the Pyrenées – a hot summer long ago…lovely hikes and my daughter in a tree.
