metamorphosis

Happy harvest
in a small scale
and magnificent
yellow and green

metamorphosis
from seed
to food.

Ariane, I'm thinking of You.

metamorphosis
I'm saying Your name
Your name is in my voice.

kite

I wish
this was our every day life.

Coming up...

the tree

sleeping in a tree.
I listen to them play,
the boy says:
this is life.

detta är livet.

the self

So I say to my kids go in to freedom now before we go home.
Because in the city there is not much space to be free. As we all know in freedom there is much space to be me. In freedom You can find Your self.

He stands like this for hours.

free

The four of us walk in to this piece of Nature together and again all by our selves.
In this extraordinary still life of movement we are allowed to be introvert.

breath

To reach this spot in the south of Sweden. Breathtaking!
We meet only a few other people that found their way this chill day but loads of birds coming in from south-west making formations in the sky line.

Gosh! The Light here is Light!

forest

Biking on these gentle roads in the heart of a fairy forest.

hike

We took the kiddos the dinos and the bikes for a weekend in the wilderness.

cottage love

For some time ago I promised Gina to show my drawings of our allotment garden cottage.
We had a tiny "faluröd" / swedish red cottage on our little allotment ground before and it was falling to pieces. So we decided to build a new one. I saved the door and the two windows with glazing bars. The cottage is the same size plus 1 meter wider for a garden tool store with entrance from a dubbel door on the right. On the left of the door we bought two old windows to have a glass corner, it´s helpful when pre-germinating and also a wonderful wiev out in the garden (thanks Per for the idea). The width of the only room inside is exactly the length of a bed. Perfect for relaxing and to bring a cup of tea. The garden is about 20 meters from our appartment just across the street and then a path in to the allotment area.
It would have been a hard time for me to manage life in an appartment without this garden. (I´m really a forest kind of a person.)
We painted the house with falu black paint. The windows and frames are sun-yellow and gold-ocher linseed oil paint.
Here some pics from the inside. My husbands pics from the allotment garden.

I´m so happy that we conducted this life-affirming project!
A huge Thank You, to the ones involved!

She says:

"When my elder brother was in your belly I was on the other side waiting. When I was in your belly he was on this side waiting."

She, my two and a half year old daughter.

Every day, different grapes, strawberries, cheese and bread. Days in Rome were great.

back yard

the sunny side

Our not so big back yard hasn´t got much sun, but
I´ve found a spot by the bikes. So

here is my coffee brake and the glimt of the news that I get.

.

Today the Hultsfred festival has gone to an end, after 24 years, such a pity.
