Lily of the valley

Maud visited today, - and we picked an enormous bunch of lilies of the valley, - wonderfull smell - as long as it is natural and not some synthetic cheap perfume. With spring coming so early this year I would have thought the flowers would be early as well - but that is not the case.

We picked flowers together, - and I gave all of mine to her.

Why do I do this, when I like to have flowers in the kitchen. I do not have a wish to be 'good', - so why?

Well, there might be more flowers in a couple of days.

Enough thinking already! Better read my book - Special topics in calamity physics.
Even though the word 'calamity' only makes me think of an old movie with Doris Day, and this book is miles off anything she might represent.

May in Oslo - first posting on new blog

If today was the norm,- May would be the perfect month for the south of Norway. Nice and sunny, a nice breeze, - not too much pollen - but then I fortunately I do not have any serious allergies.
Whitsun weekend - and most people seem to be off for the mini-holiday.

My day started in the very best way - I slept late, and while in the shower something made me peek out throught the gap in the curtain,- and I saw this very lovely deer pass by. I do not think it was fully grown. No spots, - but then I don't think they do here in Norway. I stood still, - did not want to do anything to disturb the wonderful calm and grace of the animal - and then of course, - an aeroplane had to pass the hill - and the deer was off.

We see quite a few animals around the house from time to time. Not many, and not all of the time, - but enough to make me thankful we are on the verge of the wild: hare, fox, elk and deer - at least that is what comes to mind.
