Tverrelva
Tverrelva is a river that runs along the farm. In the Winter it is white, covered with snow and ice. In the Spring it is raging from the snow melting on the mountains. In the Summer it is alive with salmon jumping up it’s waterfalls. And in Autumn it is calm and reflects the golden colours of the banks.
The whole country is tearing with running waters from the snowy mountains and glaciers down to the fjords and oceans. Living with so much water is the Norwegian way of life. I am certain that before they were Vikings Norwegians were Atlantians.

There is always something beautiful waiting for us around the corner.
How Norway became a country is shrouded in mystery and folklore. The most well known tale is of Harald Hårfagre who gathered the small kingdoms of the north into a unified nation in 872AD – and of course, this story is about love.
And to think that I live in a desert. We had a few drops of rain the other morning but otherwise we’re in a draught, it seems. I love water and rain! I actually grew up living across the street from a canal that led to the Great South Bay and on into the Atlantic Ocean. So, I miss the water.
And I love salmon; it’s my favorite fish. The river looks exciting to me.
BTW, I had a phone conversation yesterday with a person in Australia. She had the loveliest accent and I thought of you. I was thinking that probably L-Jay sounds like this too.
Is that the river that runs along mardalveien?
It was frozen the whole time I lived there. Does your bro-in-law still talk with horror about “pizza-swingen” where he wrecked his bike and got a “pizza-face”?
