The sea of flowers and candles on Larvik town-square.

Du var. Du er. Du er elsket. Du elsker. Du elsket. Du er død. Du lever alltid.

You were. You are. You are loved. You love. You loved. You are dead. You live forever.

Roses, sorrow, love and compassion.

The  way our politicians, police and the way we as a people handle this terrible tragedy makes me proud to be a Norwegian.

Well anyway:

what are you up to this summer?

White is the new black, it's a summer thing I suppose:

Marbles originated in the Harappan civilization in Pakistan near the river Indus.

Peonies can be classified by both plant growth habit and by flower type.

Sun, rain and coffee ♥
Norwegian summer.

I've taken my first summer bath.

We've had a rainstorm inside (forgot to close the window, ops).

I've been so lucky (not) to get a summer cold.

I've been bit by mosquitoes. 

I've enjoyed the sun.

Nicoline has played with her toys and eaten tuna for lunch.

I've picked plenty of flower bouquets.

We've found insane amounts of wild strawberries. 

I've found a total of 12 four-leaf clovers so far, 

and I've found the perfect straw hat.

I've worn this:

Beige may be described as an off-tan color or an extremely pale brown color.

Because buttons have been manufactured from almost every possible material, both natural and synthetic, and combinations of both, the history of the material composition of buttons reflects the timeline of materials technology.
