With all those down to earth words how the ….. can it be so difficult? Ha de Gött!
The common Scullcap (Scutellaria galericulata) is a herb and can be found all around the northern hemisphere shorelines. Found these on a small island. It is still used for medicinal purposes but as there are many various species you need to leave it for the experts. In other words, don’t try this at home.
In Swedish it is called “Frossört” and the name probably comes from its medicinal use to reduce fever. “Frossa” is the Swedish word for fever chill.
I’m a bit tempted to test as I sit here with a slight fever from the second Covi-19 vaccine shot. Ha de Gött!
For home decoration went to IKEA thinking, what a splendid idea Took the escalator to the maze furniture, furniture like a haze Stumbled down the stairs families and in love pairs Grab a four wheel trolley isle after isle, what a folly Package after package all flat collecting it all like a rat Full car, what have I done my little wife is all gone Put me in a dire spot forgot her at the parking lot
In case you wonder IKEA stands for Ingmar Kamprad Elmtaryd Agunnaryd after the founder’s name and birth place in Sweden. Ha de Gött!
I finally got to terms with it and got me an app. An app to help me identify the flowers begging for the attention of my lens. Where I failed the app took a few milliseconds to identify. Just like this “Humleblomster” (Geum rivale), in English Water Avens. The Swedish name translates to “bumblebee flower”. Theory is that it got is name from specially attracting bumblebee’s.
Ha de Gött!
A little butterfly waiting for his mothly crew. Ha de gött!
I guess it’s not the flower people think of when we speak of the potato (Solanum tuberosum). But it is very beautiful with its blue and orange colors. Don’t try to eat it or make chips from the leafs, they are poisonous. It’s the tuber you want so you have to dig in.
Did you know that in the Belarus they eat 181 kilograms per person per year. Honey, what’s for dinner? No, let me guess, can it be “bulba”. Boiled, fried, gratin, fries, Hasselback, soup and more and more ways to do it. Tell me your favorite.
Ha de Gött!
In the warm summer night
Spider spun its web
Morning dew soak it wet
Lure the thirsty fly for a sip
Invited to the spider nest
To be the center of the feast
Party on and ha de Gött!
Midsummer eve full of mystery
Midsummer eve pale night light
Midsummer eve flowers and bees
Midsummer eve family and friends
Midsummer eve herring and snaps
Midsummer eve children dance around
Midsummer eve stay up all night
Midsummer eve family and friends
The midsummer celebration is as special to us Swedes as others countries national day. I described this in last years midsummer blog post. Find it here. Ha de Gött!
Meet the fragrant beautiful climber, the Honeysuckle (Lonicera caprifolium). In Swedish “Kaprifol”. Climbs up to eight metres and spreads a lovely smell in the evening.
You can look but you better not touch, the berries are poisonous. Not deadly but your last meal will exit the wrong way and your face will go very red. You can also experience an excessive thirst.
Now I’m going for a beer, Ha de Gött!
It is sometimes hard to stick out in the crowd.
Green is the envy and green is go.
What would the flowers be without all the green.
Ha de gött!
