Hejsan everyone. Sunday saw the first of advent come which means the holiday spirit is upon us. At the top of each window we've placed a wooden starlight.
Along with illuminating the house, we have started baking in earnest , getting ready for all of the family and friends who will stop by. In two weeks it will be St. Lucia and we are expecting many this year. So, it's time to make our favorite saffron buns, lussekatter, in great supply. More on that later.
At this darkest time of year we are always looking for light. Today, I leave you with an excerpt of a beautiful advent poem by Nancy Foster which she wrote for her advent garden.
Deep Mid-winter drawing near,
Darkness in our Garden here ----
One small flame yet bravely burns
To show a path which ever turns.
Earth, please bear us as we go,
Seeking Light to send-a-glow,
Branches green and moss and fern,
Mark our path to trace each turn.
