Foxy's midsummer 2006 |
|
The sun was shining this Midsummer. We put up the flag in Sweden at Midsummer. |
|
Here they are decorating the maypole that still is lying on the ground. |
|
the will use these wild flowers to decorate the maypole. | |
This part of the maypole is not decorated yet. | |
The maypole is decorated ready. | |
Now they will put up the maypole. | |
Putting up the maypole. | |
Now the maypole is up. | |
Flowers (buttercups) and guest book in the barn. | |
Folk musicians are playing. It was was wonderful to hear the music. | |
Behind the heads of people they are dancing around the maypole. | |
Midsummer food. Pickled herring. Left: onion, middle: mustard, right: tomato. | |
This, in the fish shaped bowl, is "matjessill". We eat gräddfil (sour cream) to it. The bowl was bought at a flea market. | |

The midsummer food with pickled herring, and very small new potatoes, tomatoes and lettuce. I had Brussels sprouts too. But that is not special midsummer food. | |
The new potatoes were very small this year. At the right the old bigger potatoes. | |
In Sweden we eat fresh strawberries at Midsummer. Then we have whipped cream to it. But Ove and I use to have ice cream to it. | |
There were also dogs celebrating midsummer :-) | |
Cow and calf. | |
Hurray! The goat Enok is back! | |

Sonny gave me so much joy this midsummer weekend. | |
Midsummer 2003 the weather was rainy and it looked like this. Not fun at all. But this year 2006 we had wonderful sunny weather and not too hot. | |
They said in the paper that the folk dancing group should come at Midsummer. But they never came. But I put in this picture of them here. Folk dancing is common at Midsummer. I took this picture at the Swedish National Day. 2006-06-06. |
