The weather has broken and things are looking fabulous! The reason Norway is so full of beautiful forests and lush gardens is those 244 wet days a year. That is a bunch! Last weekend we we lucky enough to be invited to a lovely farm, ownerd by a friend of my cousin.
The farm is all bio-organic. All fertilizer is "made" by the animals, and no chemicals are used on any of the vegetables grown there (huge hot houses full) and the animals are all fat and happy. We ejoyed lovely tomatoes and fresh eggs from the farm and they were to die for!
Evita and August ran around all day, being chased by swans and chasing each other. And the day never ended, since the sun sets at 11:30 at night everybody stayed up late and had a great time!
The last photo is a Norse sea god. Surrounded by a garden with plants from all of the different climates of the country. It was an amazing place.

It sounds a lot like Seattle-- very green, lots of rain. We don't get light until 11:30 though. I like your apartment-very clean lines. It's a bit odd to see you all with so many clothes on!

The country of the midnight sun! Glad you are safe and sound in your "home" away from home. We know you will enjoy every minute of your wonderful adventure. August, we also know you are way ahead of your Mom in learning the language! Evita, your blond hair and sunny smile will fit right in there in Norway so you will not be as surrounded by curious crowds like in China! Eva and Jim, have fun. Eva thanks for keeping fans and friends posted on your blog. Watch out. We may be headed your way in 2010! Donnie and Cathey
