Northern flowers

We’re finally getting some days next week with predicted highs in the 80s. That’s something we haven’t seen in a while.

I got another helmet liner knitted this weekend, and spent the afternoon watching a couple of Margaret O’Brien movies on TCM. I got to see part of The Canterville Ghost and all of Meet Me In St. Louis. Fun stuff.

Margaret and Tina came by. They were on their way to an estate sale - there was a lot of glass for sale. Margaret said she got a few things, but had fun in any case.

Summer flowers in northern climes are always lush, and those in Iceland were no exception. We noticed youngsters busy in the parks weeding the flowerbeds. We found out later that school-age children have different “jobs” during their summer vacations. Some work keeping up the municipal parks and flowerbeds, some work in museums (which we saw later), etc. We all thought it was a good to keep the kids busy, helping make their communities better.
