Solnedgång i Ånnaboda

Ibland måste man stanna upp, se sig omkring. 

För även om livet är hårt och orättvist och svårt, så är det också väldigt fint.

July

Tidigt i morse snöade det men nu skiner solen! Får hoppas att det håller i sig och att det blir lite varmare nu. Vill kunna låsa in vinterjackan nu och börja med skinnjackan istället. Snart är det dessutom dags att börja fixa till balkongen så att dom små busarna kan ligga där och sola. Till dess, lite sommarinspiration!

Translation: It was snowing this morning but at the moment the sun is shining! Hopefully the sun is here to stay and put some warmth in this country. Can't wait to lock in the winterjacket and start using the leatherjacket instead. We are planning on fixing the balcony soon too, so the little balls of fur can enjoy the sun outside. Until then, some summerinpiration!

Angus Stone - Bird on the buffalo

Love, love, love this video! 

What is there not to like? 

Her dress, his shirt, the tipi, the sand...yes, 

I have this hidden dream of getting a van and just drive through western america or australia. 

Plus it kinda makes me think my mans' beard is a good choice after all ;) 

I will tell a story if you die..

Oh, what a summer it is so far. It was pretty good weather on friday, at Midsummer. Me and Jim went to Skövde to fix some things with our old apartment. Then at the afternoon it was time for a Midsummer- dinner with Jims family. Sour cream, salad, eggs and potatoes, I often think of which dinner is the best; the Midsummer- dinner or the Christmas- dinner? 

After the dinner and some chilling we went back to the apartment to finish up, just so we could drive home again. I have to say, Skövde is a very nice little town, but Örebro feels very much more like home. The apartment feels better and everything seems just right. 

Since we got back home on friday night, it seems like it's been raining almost the whole time. I like rain, it can be cosy, but I could really use some sun now. Don't want to go through the summer without any sun! We get plenty of rain during the rest of the year..

If everything goes well, as we planned, I know this will be one of those good years, which you can look back at in 10 years from now and think; that year mattered. I know every year matter in it's own way, but there are some that stands out. And I think this year can be one of those years. 

I dreamed a dream..

 

I've always been a dreamer. Both awake and asleep. I often remember my dreams, pretty detailed as well.
The other day (night) I had a dream that actually scared me a bit. I dreamed that I ate something, discovered that one of my canine teeth were loose and when I touched it,  it fell out. What I've read about dreams like that, is that they are no good.

1. Losing teeth is a process that occurs during aging (we lose our first teeth as a child, and then we can possibly lose our teeth when we're getting old). Dreams of losing teeth may have with anxiety and concern about growing up, mature and have to start taking more responsibility.
It can also be interpreted as fear of aging and death.
2. Losing teeth can mean that someone close, a friend or someone in your family is sick, maybe even dying.

  

I can feel that the first interpretation actually applies to me really well. I have, especially in recent years, found it difficult to feel satisfied that I grow old. Childhood is gone and I now live in adult life  that dosn’t always go as you want it to go. Accountability and independence is such a big part of life right now and it feels like it will just be a bigger and bigger part. Inboard, I somehow find it difficult to understand that I am not 18 years old anymore.

Since I had this dream, I have only focused on the second interpretation. Of course, it would be a great sadness if the interpretation would turn out to be true, and that's obviously what I'm worried about.

I think the topic is interesting; where dreams come from, why you dream as you do, some could easily remember their dreams while others hardly ever remember theirs.

Run with the tribe

Surfing around on Etsy is really inspiring. Especially since there's so many creative souls out there!

These goodies are made by Miss Rose, you can find her shop RunWithTheTribe here.
All of her things just got that right bohemian/gypsy feeling with feathers, crochet and wooden pearls.
 Some of them can also be used in several different ways (see picture below),
one day you can wear it as a headdress, the next day as a belt; simply awesome!

Also, check out her website here!

Roots and herbs

This week I ordered a book about herbalism and magick, hopefully I will get it next week.
Isn't it a nice thought to think that all we need can be found in the nature.
Like in the old times, you didn't go to the drugstore to get some pills,
you went to the "doctor" to get some mixed herbs.
I would find it nice to know how to make your own tea- mixes, oils and
learn about the magic of the herbs.

Take me home..

If I ever decide to get my own house (summerhouse or permanent), this would be it!
Imagine how cool it would be to invite family and friends over for a cup of tea.
And how cosy it would be having the lights on during a rainy storm.
Can you get closer to nature living in a house like these ones?
