Glad midsommar - Midsummer greetings!

This weekend our family and friends in Sweden are celebrating midsummer. Even if we don't have midsummer here right now, you might want to put some flowers under your pillow this Saturday...

"Because Midsummer was thought to be one of the times of the year when magic was strongest, it was considered a good night to perform rituals to look into the future. Traditionally, young people pick bouquets of seven or nine different flowers and put them under their pillow in the hope of dreaming about their future spouse."
