May on Gotland

The 30th April we celebrated Valborg with the traditional bonfire by the sea. Just some neighbors getting together, singing a song and grilling a couple of hot dogs. We have had unusually hot weather in April, but a couple of days before Valborg the temperature went down and it was quite cold.

Now the warmth is back. The grass is green. The birds are happy and the cats love to roll around in the grass and enjoy all the exciting smells. At a distance, across the Kappelshamn bay I can hear motorcycles at the racing circuit Gotland Ring. The Seagulls have had good days when a farmer plowed his acer and they could catch delicious worms…

The trees are beginning to turn green and the apple blossoms will soon turn the garden to a white dream.

This might be the best season on Gotland. Time for picnics!
