Strawberries are a traditional dessert this day.The sun was shining and the day was quite hot. This, mind you, is not always a tradition in Sweden!
The day called for a dip in the pool,indeed! Mats is clowning a hilarious dive!
And a picture of all the wild flowers close to my house..
A visit is paid to the farm of Vale, Gotland. This old mansion sits today on the ground of a 1000-year old farm. Speaking of history!
Studded with sagas, tales, history significant to the island´s development into Christianity of and of course, of gosts and spirits of people who lived here long ago that made a difference. The couple who now owns the beautiful Vale homestead are people I know from my former days living on the mainland. And they invite the general public to explore their historical, biotropical grounds.

The June 6th excursion to Vale to explore its rare biptope. Butterflies, insects, plants - and Iron Age grave sites..
This is the still visible ground work of three old buildings from the Iron Age around year 500 to be found at Vale..
This is what the area used to look.

A dip in my sister´s pool before June 6 is coming to an end. Now is the time when the sun does not set until 9PM! The long light nights of June in Scandinavia makes it hard to sleep..
