Britt-Arnhild's House in the Woods

You have to experience it

@brittarnhild

To sit out at 10pm. Listening to the bumblebees, smelling the lavender, letting the wind fall softly on your skin, being embraced by the bright midnight late night sun.

The short Nordic summer after months and months and months of cold and ice and darkness. When the light fills every fibre of yout body, your senses open up to see everything hidden.

I guess you have to experience the heaviness of winter to love summer like we do here.

I took the photos out on the veranda outside our kitchen around 9pm last night. The sun went to sleep behind at hill at 10.09.

 

 

Sleeping Beauty is Awake

@brittarnhild

For months, for long, dark, cold months the land is sleeping. Winter covers the earth, seeps deep into our hearts. We wrap ourselves in warm clothes, we share stiff smiles. And we survive.

Then suddenly. One day. You wake up and realise that the snow has melted, the soil is fertile. Your fingertips are again able to move. Thaw is the queen.

A few more days, weeks, and you find yourself dancing in the sun.

And the Blue Garden is Blue again!
Sleeping Beauty is awake.
