The summer is finally here in Seattle

I just want to tell everyone that I am really happy that summer is here.

Today has been lovely, and I have spent time in my garden with a book.

One of my Swedish friends posted a couple of beautiful pictures of the Swedish west coast from which I am from. Some of the few things that I miss from Sweden are summer days and evenings by the sea with good friends.

I also miss the laid-back atmosphere that descends on Sweden during summer; people open up, become happier, and relaxed, and spend as much time as they can outdoors. Well, maybe not all, but many.

I remember my summer days in Sweden as care free and full of excursions, but I also took a lot of time to relax.

So enjoy your summer and "simma lugnt".
