Happy Midsummer!



On Friday we celebrated the Scandinavian holiday Midsummer's Eve.


We went out to pick some wildflowers first thing in the morning so that we could decorate the house and our front porch for the celebration.


We celebrated with a nice barbeque dinner and a Strawberry shortcake for dessert.


We also enjoyed some Swedish cider with dinner, nothing tastes more like Scandinavia than cider!


I realized that the downside with celebrating Midsummer's Eve in North America is that the sun goes down a lot earlier here than in Scandinavia.


At 9:30PM it was already very dark outside, but at least it was nice and warm. I heard some rumors that the weather was a little cold and rainy back in my home country this year for midsummer, I guess you can't have it all. :) Happy Midsummer everyone!
