The Mountain Summits Sleep.

 I took a hike up the mountain a few days back, accompanied by sweet Anita. It was a gorgeous day, and a beautiful view! Here are just a few of the many pictures I took along the way.

The Mountain Summits Sleep.

"The mountain summits sleep, glens, cliffs, and caves

Are silent;-all the black earth's reptile brood,

The bees, the wild beasts of the mountain wood;

In depths beneath the dark red ocean's waves

Its monsters rest; whilst, wrapt in bower and spray,

Each bird is hush'd, that stretch'd its pinions to the day."

Alcman.

We started out walking down the street.

Then headed into the woods.

A mushroom.

The top!

Rainy Days...

It is now raining again. Which makes me just a little sad after having it so beautiful out for the past few days. The good news though, is that there is always plenty to keep busy with while inside, happy and dry. :)

Today was spent visiting, reading, playing guitar and drinking hot tea, while enjoying the smell of Norwegian sweet rolls, wafting through the house. Ending with a delicious supper of Pasta and Sauce, and an evening stroll.

 This lamp reminds me of home.

 The piano!

 Pretty plants.

 Rainy..

 Sweet Norwegian roll making.

  

 The talented and beautiful cook.

 I think patiently waiting was a kinda hard for Little Man.

They tasted as good as they look!

 I braved the rain for a evening walk.

I thought this was pretty cool!

 I love this garden!!

 Ending the day curled up watching a movie 

with Morfar and Mormor.
