Tonight, the 23rd og June is the day night to celebrate midsummer in Norway. We know that solstice was already a couple of days ago, but solstice day is not anything we make a fuss about. We tell each other a couple of times "today the sun turned" and that´s it. The real highlight of summer is tonight though. Midsummer Night´s Eve.
An old tradition is to make wildflower wreaths, so after breakfast, and after driving Ardi to the train, I took a hike in the woods behind our house. Chasing wild flowers ;-) "Make sure to put seven different types under your pillow when you go to bed tonight" a woman told me when she saw my bouquet. "I am already luckily married and don´t need to dream about a future husband. " I smiled to her. "These flowers will go into a midsummer wreath".
I am out of practice, but in the end managed to finished a crocked, colourful wreath, which is out on the blue garden table dringing blizzard water right now.
Happy Midsummer.
