It felt as if winter would never come, but just when we had given up old King Bore (the Swedish Winterking) decided to make his entrance – snow everywhere, and rain the next day! I had already started to imagine it was spring. Then I realized – but it is spring, inside our home! Colorful …
It was bound to happen – I got hooked on Kalevala and the whole Finnish mythos! And now I can’t get enough of articles, books and even plays on it. Kalevala is a Finnish epic, a collection of songs about myths especially from Karelia, a region in eastern Finland. It holds its own alongside the …

I’m back, sort of! Didn’t plan to just stop blogging, but sometimes life just happens. This is what winter should look like! Snow everywhere, sun shining through glimmering trees.
