My son was born on the 14th of May – the most beautiful time of the year. I always go for long walks that day, feeling grateful for everything I have been given.

Wishing you all a beautiful May.

You who follow me know, that May is My month. So much beauty, so many birds coming in – today, the redstart arrived and flashed its colours outside my window. What joy!

Thursday Thoughts – Faces of April

In general, April is the last month of Winter/Spring, and after it…comes the most beautiful month in Sweden – at least according to me. May.

It’s been a strange year, this last one. No snow – for the first time in my entire life.

This picture was taken in April 2013. This used to be the ordinary look of April.

It is warming up – or, we are warming up our planet. In fact, 2024 has been the warmest year ever on planet Earth.

Our glaciers are melting fast – and they are our fresh water reserves. Today I heard again that in Norway and Sweden they melt the fastest. Many of them are already gone.

But the Wood Anemonies are still flowering, and the glorious Spring light allows us to forget our troubles and what lies ahead of us.

Tursday Thoughts – A Time for Love

I had been waiting for this moment…

My granddaughter is to experience the same as I did as a child and as both my children did.

To follow the developing of a frog from start to finish. A Nature’s wonder – so clear to the eye. Last week we went to the pond to take some eggs home, and when the little frogs are fully fledged – with all four legs – we will return them to where they came from.

According to me, one of the best things to let a child experience. Patience and wonder.

Thursday Thoughts on a Friday in March

Spring beauties at home! Nature is waking up – and so are we. The vernal equinox was yesterday – so, now every day gets a bit brighter. Breathe!

The Hazel looks glorious, shining in the sun.

Blue anemonies are peeping out from their winter rest.

Wishing you a great weekend!

Thursday Thoughts – Tutanchamon

Last time we visited Malmoe, we went to see the immersive exhibition. As we went to Egypt in 1981 and saw his tomb, and the mummy and golden artefacts at the Egyptian museum, I did not expect much from this visit. But, it was a nice outing and another experience. And again I felt so sorry for this young, sickly boy, whose fate was to be farao.

I’m sharing some of the pictures – I had fun taking them.
