Can we say SWOON?? Today's photos are from Lotta Lindekrantz's beautiful garden in SWEDEN! Lotta says, "Here is some pictures from my garden near Gothenburg, Sweden. An old garden that I try to make my own without ruin it to much! :-) A place for me and my family to hang out in. And we love it! Welcome to my blog to see more of my garden: http://solrum2.blogspot.com." You know I'm a sucker for a glimpse of a faraway land, and this garden is so charming and pretty, too, Lotta. Thanks so much for sharing it with us!

To all you new readers from foreign countries. Thank you for visiting my blog and viewing my photos.
From now on you will also be able to read the texts (and probably get a good laugh) using the translation tool I've added on the left side. Sometimes it generates quite funny sentences.
In a "swenglish" manner.
But please have a little patience and some imagination and you should probably be able to figure out what I write.

Have fun.

See you! Posted: 3:06 am on May 29th

pattyspencer writes: Tractor1 - read your reply and I agree with you about being frank and direct. I hate candy coating as well (unless it's actually ON candy - lol) That being said some people don't take kindly to "frank and direct" - it's all about knowing your audience. It's easier to swallow positive criticism than (what other might persieve) negative (even tho in your mind you're trying to be helpful) JMO from working 28 years with State workers and (going into now) 17 years as a Boy Scout Leader

Lotta is lucky to have inherited such a lovely mature property and she is certainly doing a grand job of maintaining its character. I like that little out building with its typical Scandinavian tile roof, and of course the flag of Sweden is so apropos. Thank you for sharing.
