Pink

(Taken in Baden-Baden, Germany.)

(If I had to pick the one thing I miss most about Germany, it would be flowering trees, alleys of them.)

(To my Finnish friends, please know that I love Finland no less because I love and miss Germany.
This is my time now to indulge, please let me, I don't get to, ever.)

(To Annakaisa, to some it's given to be a flower, and to some to be a bird.)

(To anonymous, you are very wise. Who are you? ;))

(To myself: I need new shoes.)

Stockholm

I am blessed.
With lovely friends.
Inspiring women and wonderful mothers.

Thank you for a great momma trip to Stockholm!

Pretty. Medieval.

Turku is my favorite place in Finland. I really do think so. Once a year, the old town square transforms itself into a medieval market. It is the most magical thing! (It's still going on until July 4th. :)

We've been up and about, spending perfect days at the beach, and in the garden, eating fresh berries from the market, and staying up much too late... Ah, Scandinavian summers!


Today, we're off to go boating. There is nothing like the ocean on a hot summer day.

What do you like to do in the summer?
