Scandinavian Festival 2023
I attended the Scandinavian midsummer’s party in a small Saskatchewan village. It was fun and colorful. Midsummer is one of the most widely celebrated holidays in Sweden. Traditionally a May pole is raised which people gather around to dance and sing. Some people wear folk costumes to honor their regions while celebrating. Tiny trolls were hidden all over the grounds. I think I found most of them. They were much happier than the trolls they are named after. Flat bread was for sale. Tents were set up with Viking and Swedish artifacts. Here are some of the sites I saw. Enjoy.
PWP week of June 11 – June 17 23
I’m sorry this post is late.
Another great week. I could take 6 months of weather like we are having. Minus the mosquitoes. A little bad with a lot of good is ok. The highlight of my week was a trip to a Scandinavian festival. No airplane tickets involved. A friend and I drove to the site of the festival. Coming home was a bit dicey. The highway was being worked on and the signs weren’t put back up so I missed our turn. Figured it out before we went to far and thanks to Google maps found the right road. I have included a few teaser shots of what we saw. Will post a blog of all later in the week. Besides a bit of culture we have rain drops on clover, a high stepping robin, clouds, some late blooming lilacs. My Grandmother lived in a small town which had big lots. One side of hers was filled with a hedge of yellow roses. I am lucky enough to have a yellow rose bush, which reminds me of her, so this week we have some yellow roses. A barn swallow rests from driving Josie nuts. Remember to watch for the Scandinavian blog. For those of you who follow my posts, I try and have the content posted by 9:00 (CST) Sunday AM.
