Rain, Rain... Thank You For Coming!

Happy Rainy Moments


Samuel decorated mommy's flowers with his wind flower!

We have had an unusual dry period here in Sweden. Parts of the country are having troubles with wild fire. This is very unusual for a country that sees more rain than not. So finally this week has been rainy. We miss the sun, but are very thankful for the rain. Especially since we get our water from a dug water well. We were a little worried about it drying up, but all is well (ha ha).

We did have some troubles the other night with our water pump. To put it simply, it no longer works. We could have told you that after the burning smell it let out on Monday night. However, Tuesday we had a new pump (water restored) and Andreas's dad has been wonderful to pay for the repair (can't thank them enough).

The pictures are of Samuel playing in the rain. Here in Sweden it usually rains so much that they are use to going on with all activities during the rain. Hence, the full body rain suit. Samuel had a great time in the rain and even decided it was fun to play in the sand box in the rain.

This weekend is Midsummer celebration and so everyone is off and looking forward to dancing around the May pole. For those who do not know what that is I will send pictures after the weekend. It is for all basic purposes a fertility pole. When I first came to Sweden and saw this, I was amazed that this was going on. They do actually dance around a phallic symbol, and even though I am not into that, I do enjoy that my husband gets time off. I hope everyone has a great weekend.

Blessings,
Laurie
