Sunday in the sun

This is one sweet smelling rose

I wish I could capture the scent in a photo!

This is one cinnamon smelling piece of crisp bread

What if I could capture the scent of it!
Today Dinkie enjoyed herself in the garden
Feeling the sun on her mustache

She thought the snow was a bit cold

So she brought a blanket to sit on

I was there too

my boots on with woollen soles inside

Feet warm and the sun warming my face

Lovely!

December thoughts

I love candles

they burn so quietly

So peacefully

giving warmth and light

Every morning, afternoon and night

we burn several candles

This time of the year we only have daylight

a couple of hours in the middle of the day

if it's a clear day.

We stay inside and burn our candles

hibernating in the dark season.

The most eaten fruit of the season in Norway

is clementines

Not from here of course,

This one is a sweet treasure from Spain.

The smell of clementines

is the smell of Christmas!

In Norway it was common to clean your entire house

before Christmas.

This is not such a common tradition amongst my generation
Why should we do that, when no one can see a thing?

One trick is to burn Christmas incense

To make your house smell nice

And if you really want it to smell like you've actually cleaned ceiling and walls, then you can fill a little saucer with pine-sol and hide it behind a curtain in your living room, I'm just saying...
