BETWEEN RAINFALLS......

Norwegians are always concerned about the weather,

will it be rain or sun this weekend?

it has been cold....

and we have had alot of rain in the month of May.....

But the flowers are blooming in my garden..

the Wisteria is climbing along the fence...

beautiful colors...

and I have to admit, I LIKE the rain....

wonderful, grey, rainy days....

after 9 years living in the hot, humid weather....

I prefer this...

I can put on my raincoat and walk to the lake

and meet this little family...

or I can walk down to the harbour and look at the cruise

ships visiting for the day...well, they probably prefer sunshine...

I have had a nice visit with my sewing machine,

and made some little things for my store...

cosy bags for the tea candles...

I have baked bread again, it is Friday...

and believe it or not, the SUN is shining today, and we will 

have dinner outside this evening and two birthdays will be

celebrated on Sunday!!

HOPE YOU ENJOY YOUR WEEKEND TOO,

AND THANKS AGAIN FOR

STOPPING BY!

ANOTHER KNITTED DRESS

BACK FROM VACATION

We have been back to Houston for a couple of weeks of vacation

It was record heat for the time of year the day we arrived

We visited familiar places,

shopping, but it is limited how much summer clothing

you need when you live in Norway...



We had alot of good sushi

Ummm....

Had some wonderful days in Galveston

on the beach

visited some of the beautiful,

historic houses in Galveston

and enjoyed a crawfish boil

I finished the little dress called "Fiona" on my trip

knitted in "Alpaca" from "DSA"

and on my needles now, is another

little dress, "Elvira". This time I am knitting

with the popular "Woolmeise" yarn

the color is "Frosch".....

Enjoy your weekend and thanks for visiting!



WELCOME TO STAVANGER!

A beautiful morning in Stavanger

and I will like to invite you on my morning walk

around my home town

When the weather is nice like today

it is like the old town is waking up

just within a month the harbour will be filled with cruise ships

and the narrow streets of  "old Stavanger"

with it's beautiful old white houses

will be filled with the colours of summer flowers

and hundreds of people visiting  

from all over the world

visit the canning museum

or just take a stroll around

This summer will be filled with activites around the harbour

with the Tall ships race, beach volleyball, food festival

just to have mentioned a few....

VELKOMMEN!

I hope you like my walk this morning,

enjoy and welcome to Stavanger!
