Wish there was a bit warmer outside now, because then I'd go out, barefoot, picking flowers and eating rhubarb, dipped in sugar - just as I loved to do when I was a kid (But had I been a kid still, I'd probably think it was just warm enough outside to go out barefoot, because it's warm enough to go outside without a jacket! )

Whoa! That's one of my childhood memories as
well!!! Rhubarb is "rabarbra" right? >) It's so
yum! With LOADS of sugar!
I used to visit my grandparents up in the north of
Norway, every summer and ran around in their big
garden, eating all the wonderful things they had
planted there! Not to forget all the beautiful
flowers I used to look at, and sniff! >)
When I get old I will have a big garden as well!
Even though I don't have green fingers >P

Rabarbra, yup! I used to run (always run, always ) around with a stich of rabarbra in one hand, a little purple plastic cup with sugar in the other. I'd run everywhere! And always barefoot!
And we'd dress up like the girls from "The Road to Avonlea", make perfume from the flowers we found around, pack up some stuff to go to picnic in "Blomsterbakken", take all our toys outside, buy icecream from Isbilen..... (if we managed to persuade our parents to give us some money) And eating all the kinds of berries we had in our garden, throwing them up in the air and trying to catch them with our mouths. That was so fun! And afterwards, the grass there was all red and blue (as were our feet)

Actually, that's what you're supposed to be doing today Fjelltussa

Oh, but there are hardly any flowers here yet! Beltane is a Celtic festival; it isn't timed for cold Norway! I still have to wait yet another month or so before summer sets in where I live. But I can dance!
