Morjes!

Welcome to my blog. I write about fitting in, sticking out, and missing the motherland as a serial foreigner.

Crochet trees

Crochet trees

Today after gymnastics ended, the kids and I took the long way home so I could show them the natural art exhibition that popped up the other day - crocheted tree coverings! Beyond the fact that it's Finland's centary year, I don't know the exact reasoning behind this display. But it was a treat to ride our bikes up and down the river tonight and enjoy the whimsy.

Also, you guys, SPRING IS HERE. This was our view on the way from gymnastics to downtown. Winter in Finland is worth it when this is the reward (and just the beginning - it gets even better as summer approaches).
