Spring

I think spring is here at least the part of it that came in an envelope from the Netherlands :) See what I got from Simone, isn´t she a gem sending this to me!

I guess things go faster when you have help with the sewing.

Sorry I couldn´t keep my eyes open :(

So with all that help I have a flimsy, it was windy when I took the picture so it wouldn´t lay flat on the grass.

 At last I have a few pictures of Ravens taken by siggiig. I have always liked them although we have many stories of them to frighten little children and also that they eat sheeps and lambs if they have the opportunity. We also have a lot of old folk songs about Ravens.  My mother used to give them food at wintertime. It is said that every autumn they gather together to decide where each pair of them is going to stay during wintertime, because they can´t all be at the same place as there wouldn´t be enough food for them.  Our first settler that came sailing from Norway had three Ravens with him, he let them loose one by one, the first flew back, the second just flew up, but the third flew in the direction to what is now known as Iceland :) Óðinn, an old "god" in the heathen religion, Ásatrú, had two ravens named Huginn and Muninn. Do you have similar stories or songs about them?

I´m alive :)

Just wanted to let you know I am alive :)  I have been busy sewing and I almost have a flimsy to show you.

Can you please find the summer for me.  These pictures were taken yesterday morning!

And this one early this morning.

This one was taken a few days ago, it is one of our summer birds called Lóa when it arrives from the southern hemisphere in April we believe the spring is here.  I hope they will find their nests again and that no eggs were being laid as now we have about 15cm of snow covering everything.

This is another of our summer birds called Hrossagaukur, I love the sound that it makes with it´s wing/tail while flying. 

All these pictures were taken by my friend siggiig, he has much more on his flickr
