@brittarnhild Regnværet i går gjorde godt både for jord og luft, og for allergiplagene til yngstedattera. Det lå igjen litt morgentåke i lufta da jeg spiste frokost, og temperaturen var ikke noe særlig å skryte av......men tåka var på vei bort og gradestokken på vei opp, så jeg pakket fotobagen...

@brittarnhild I walked out in the garden. The rain had made everything fresh, lush, green, vivid. The red leaves on the Japanese Maple drink greedily. Raindrops. A whole universe. ::::::::::::::::: The drops can easily be tears of regret. Regret of... Continue reading

@brittarnhild Some photos speaks to me in a special way. Often depending on my own mood. Here I see serene beauty. But I also see loneliness, it creates in me a feeling of sadness. I remember Paolo Coehlo´s words "tears... Continue reading

@brittarnhild Det er nesten som om vårem har lurt oss i år. Plutselig er det full sommer, og bjørka, som hadde små grønne museører til 17.mai, akkurat som den skal ha, står der nå i all sin sommergrønne prakt. Mannen min kikker på ospa rett nedenfor hytta "I alle dager.... Continue reading

@brittarnhild Whitsun. Pentecost. Or pinse as we say in Norway. No matter what you call this day, it is the anniversary of the global church. We celebrated in Aure church. An old, wodden, whitepainted church, near the sea. Again we... Continue reading

@brittarnhild Jeg lurer jammen på om jeg ikke er i ferd med å utvikle en ny hobby. Fugletitting. Ikke det at jeg kan så veldig mye om fugler. Skulle gjerne klart å høre hva slags fugl det er som synger, eller hva de heter alle spurvene og meisene og finkene... Continue reading

@brittarnhild Spring is always eariler at the cabin than at home. Situated in a southfaced hillside, on the western coast, the snow melts fast, nature wakes eariler. The birds know this, and these days, being in the cabin garden is... Continue reading

@brittarnhild The cabin weekend was over, we had unpacked and Marta had gone to her Sunday night cheerleading practice. It was time to make dinner, and I realised I had forgotten to think of a menu, forgotten to shop for Sunday dinner groceries. I often make a pizza on such right back from the cabin nights, but somehow I was not in the mood for pizza. It was when I unpacked the food I got the idea. One and a half onions, some dry bread..........it would make a soup :-) My smile broadened when I found a big potato, some... Continue reading

@brittarnhild Hun strikker litt, men får vondt i fingrene. Kjenner en lengsel etter å skape noe med farger, quilte, veve, brodere, men vet at det ikke lenger er hennes greie, og finner isteden næring i Charlotte Lyons "housewrenstudio"-bilder på instagram. Leter etter ordene, og vet, håper, tror at de skal... Continue reading

@brittarnhild En ufrivilllig pause kan være en utfordring. Det var ikke akkurat slik jeg hadde planlagt det. Kalenderen er full og jeg har mistet kontrollen over den. Med ett har jeg tid. Tid til å sitte ned og høre gresset gro. Jeg er satt på sidelinjen for en periode. Noen... Continue reading
