that is the website for the "homestead" for those that are interested. And here is a Christmas/midsummer crossover for you!

It is a spring/summer song called "Small Frogs" usually sung at Midsummer with a pic of a Christmas tree. I have no idea why. The kids (and some adults) play sort of leap frog to this tune around the midsummer pole. We did the food shopping today and you would have thought it was Christmas eve, the stores were SO crowded. I forgot to buy the typical thursday night pea soup and pancakes, so we will have leftovers and cook for the picnic tomorrow.
Glad Midsommar! One more holiday closer to Christmas in July!
That is so great that they have a holiday to remember their heritage. Definitely worth celebrating!
And the snowy pictures on the web site reminds me of Christmas.
