Summer Day in Finland

I live in Finland in the Land of a thousand lakes, where we have Lapland and Santa Claus. We also have looooong winter, dark and cold.

At the moment it is suppose to be mid summer, but clouds are hanging up to the trees and fog is gray and whispering the rain to come.

Here in Finland during the summer we are suppose to collect energy for dark long winter days like bears are eating for winter hibernation, but well well, soon I do not even remember how the sun looks like. Pullover and coat are the only right clothing at the moment. Not to forget the umbrella.

Inside my house it is also gray and dark, I feel I can't get enough light even I turn on the light bulbs. I will start this blog to collect my thoughts how could I make my days bit brighter and happier indoors.

Hint to bring sunshine home if you have sunny window: Hibiscus alias Shoeblackplant
Care: As much sun as possible, prefer big pot, good soil and quite much water
