SEASONS
Spring Buds covered in Snow
Santa Claus dressed for daiy work
Two days before spring and suddenly we are in a mist of snow flurries. Santa must get up early to shovel and keep in shape. Many people thinks Santa is always busy, but that's not the case. He has lots of free time in Spring so shoveling snow is good for him, it keeps him strong and supple.
Frogs awaiting Spring
Spring came and still the fairies have their slippers on, it has snowed again and although the sun peeks out for a few minutes, it is cold outside and the hills are slippery. I was going up to the tool shed to see Santa this morning and I had to grab onto his golden jacket just as I got to him as I started to slid downhill, it would have looked funny as I was still in my morning rob and slippers. I wanted Santa to come in and have cocoa with me, and of course he did, he loves hot cocoa with plump marshmallows floating on top. here in the North Pole we have to start taking the rust off the tools that were left in the shed all winter, and get the garden pots ready for all the herbs and flowers we plant. We have a short summer but because we have nearly 24 hours of light each day, things grow very fast, I planted some barley for Easter about 6 days ago and it's now 7 cm tall or (3 inches) if you are in America.
The mummy of duck falls
Small glaciers in our Molt
When Pirjo went into labor for the birth of Heather,Pauli and Pirjo drove off to the hospital. Johnny was left with me but wouldn't come into the house and layed by the tree and slept and waited. Pauli came home after a few hours and said the nurse sent him home as Pirjo wouldn't give birth till tomorrow. The phone rang after a few minutes from coming home and they said to Pauli, "come now she is ready to give birth." Pauli speed to the hospital and got a ticket. Still he made it to be with Pirjo as she gave birth to our darling Heather. The tree has since been cut down and now when I am tired I sit on the stump and rest.
Fall has brought on a sudden snow storm
just before a huge storm blew in
shit happens
old age
oh no, fall is coming
liver spots
Flowers by the studio
one of several hundred barrows of mud we dug out
