"Give me the joys of summer,
Of Summer Queen so fair,
With wealth of lovely flowers
And fruits and sun-kissed air!
Talk not to me of winter
With ice and frost and snow,
Nor changing spring and autumn
When howling winds will blow.
No, I will take the joys
Of Summer every time,
So to this Queen of Seasons
I dedicate my rhyme."
- Winifred Sackville Stoner, Midsummer Joys

Few weeks ago Finnish people celebrated Midsummer (juhannus, as we like to call it) and traditionally people had had different kind of believes of magic happening that night. One of the believes had been that if you look into a fountain at the midnight in the midsummer you can see the reflection of your future groom. So, Ivy wanted to try it this summer.

From an album I have inherited from Karl Fahlström, married to my fathers older sister Gunhild. Karl (Kalle) was born 1891 in Högbo - Sandviken i Gästrikland.
My fathers older sister Gunhild Sohlström married to Karl and her cousin (adopted) Julia Moback at "Bruket" Sandviken Midsummer 1919. Bruket were houses for the workers at Sandvikens Jernverk.

This year I finally made it to Latvia for Midsummer celebration. We chose a nice place close to Estonian border to spend the weekend there. It was a nice celebration of the longest day of the year! There's my hubby with my daughter and 2 brothers going for a boat ride in a lake, while I was watching the sunset and taking these wonderful photos.

An essential part of Finnish Midsummer celebrations at the cottage is warming a traditional lake or seaside sauna, and enjoying it with several plunges into the water. The bunch of birch twigs is called a 'vihta' or 'vasta', and is self-made out of twigs got from the woods. We use it in the hot sauna, to bash ourselves with. Must sound weird but it gives a lovely aroma into the sauna, and is good for your circulation, not to mention works wonders on itchy mosquito bites that are inevitable in summer cottages. All this is Finnish summer life at its best!
Wow. Checking the date on there, I finished stitching this in 2013. It took me 2 YEARS to find a suitable frame. That's just insane. But I do love the one I found, in the end. Now I just have to get the back on there and I can actually hang it up. . .
Exhibited at the National Museum of Scotland.
This is a clock designed by the inventor Dr John C Taylor - the man who invented the switch that turns off kettles when they are boiling.
It features a mythical creature which eats time (the Chronophage). There are several versions of this clock, each one having a different creature.
The large, toothed wheel is a giant example of a "grasshopper escapement", usually out of sight within the clock. It was invented by John Harrison, the man who in the 18th Century, invented the marine chronometer which allowed ships to calculate their longitude.
The clock displays a light show every minute, and shows the time on digital displays every five minutes. The creature opens its mouth over the course of 59 seconds and bites down on the sixtieth, (so "eating" time) and the disc advances by one notch.
Happy Midsummer to you!
Today is the middle of summer, and it's a pagan tradition to celebrate it here in Sweden, with dancing, feasting and song. This year will be calmer for most I suspect. But still, another midsummer and one with sunshine and all my
