Forget-me-not. Förgätmigej in Swedish. They really are hard to forget these tiny colorful flowers.

Henrietta was busy looking in her binoculars after a fleeing bird when I closed in on the old tree yesterday. She told me that she often spots brown owls here. We talked a bit about the cold Spring and she then pointed me out to a gravel road in a rural landscape close to the sea that I should check out come the Summer. Later in the day I was of course on the bike when it rained hard. Has happened pretty much every day for the last few weeks now.

There is one in every family. Troublemaker in the pasture at Glasbergavägen in Lida yesterday.

This was the scene in the little birch forest near the old Söderby Gård in Handen earlier in the week. It was a big hit on flickr, generated 13 000 views in just a day.

There once was a cordwainer (skomakare), who closed shop this time of the year. He put a sign on the door. It read: Closed between Bird Cherry and Lilac. Stängt mellan hägg och syren. True or not, I don't know, but it's a fine story. The period between when the two plants bloom is for many Swedes their favorite time of the year. My grandparents had Bird Cherry on their veranda and I will never forget that fragrance. We used to sit there and drink coffee and my grandmothers home made "kubbar". I found this "Hägg" along the bike path in Handen yesterday.
