Our World: 11 December 2017

We're still waiting for winter. In the meantime, we have to kick back and enjoy the sprinkling of snow that we do have.

Have a great week and thanks for joining Our World! // Lady Fi

I'm looking forward to some December snow - hope it comes back soon! In the meantime, I've been enjoying some stunning foggy sunrises. // Lady Fi

It was mild during my visit to England, so quite a shock to come home to the colder temperatures of Sweden!

My holiday in Spain seems like a distant dream now... Schools are starting back again and I've already been at work for two weeks.

Oh, the summer night
Has a smile of light
And she sits on a sapphire throne.

In other news, the summer has been wet here in Sweden, but Ruby doesn't mind.

Our World: Welcome-to-June Edition

In the words of Aldo Leopold:


In June as many as a dozen species may burst their buds on a single day. No person can heed all of these anniversaries; no person can ignore all of them.

At last it's time to enjoy sunsets down by the lake.

Have a great week!

Our World: It's-May-already Edition

Welcome to May! The last day in April is Walpurgis Eve in Sweden - an ancient tradition where Swedes have bonfires (to get rid of evil spirits in the olden days) and to welcome in spring. It's usually very cold in the evenings still, but the days are warming up!

Ruby and Simmie send licks and best wishes! (That's Ruby on the right... She is getting some silver around her mouth.)

Our World: 10 April 2017

As you probably know, there was a terrorist attack in my adopted town of Stockholm on Friday, when a man hijacked a truck and drove it down a pedestrian street full of people, mowing them down as he went.

My heart goes out to the victims and their families, as well as to the victims of so many other attacks - in Syria, St. Petersburg and London, to name a few recent examples.

It's so easy to lose hope -- but in times of crisis, people pull together to help each other out, and that's how I know love and light will win over hate and darkness.

Our World: Start-of-April Edition

It's April already - the start of spring for some of us, while others are gliding into autumn.

Here's Ruby inspecting a canoe by the shores of the lake. (Note: the ice has disappeared!)

Our World: 20 March 2017

It's the spring equinox on Monday, 20 March - when night and day are the same length. Then it gets lighter and lighter in the northern hemisphere and darker in the southern hemisphere.

But for this one day - the balance of the world is harmonious and perfect!

"The cold was our pride, the snow was our beauty.   It fell and fell, lacing day and night together in a milky haze, making everything quieter as it fell, so that winter seemed to partake of religion in a way no other season did, hushed, solemn." 
-  Patricia Hampl

Our World: End-of-February Edition

It is with great regret that I have to tell you all that one of the co-founders of Our World, the lovely Arja, who lived in Australia, passed away a couple of weeks ago.

Her family posted her last words to us here.

She will be missed.

Our World: 20 February 2017

Another week full of possibilities!

Here in Sweden, our days are getting longer and lighter.

Even if you don't celebrate Valentine's Day, it's worth remembering that we should spread love as thick as we can and leave people happier than when they first came to us.
