Swings in the Playground
The ‘Huske’ (or Swings) are very popular in children’s playgrounds. In nearly every one I’ve been to they have this fantastic bowl-swing that is low to the ground and usually big enough to fit the whole family in. It’s great to be able to sit in with the kids and have a ride. I had to bail out of this Huske-ride though (somebody had to take the pictures…lol!)
‘Huske’ is also the Norwegian word for remember. I guess its quite fitting as jumping in one always makes you remember the fun of being a kid again.

There is always something beautiful waiting for us around the corner.
The Norwegian smålens goose, or smålsensgås, is a heritage breed of Norway. Our smålensgjess arrived on the farm in September 2011.
Even in the peak of summer our mountains have touches of snow.
I’m learning some Norwegian words through your blog, L-Jay. Over the years of hearing the language spoken while growing up, I’ve picked up some but would love to learn. Maybe you could have one day a week to teach a few Norwegian words or phrases?
