May 12^th 10:00 pm

Not tired, so I went for a walk. It is so quiet out here. Took some pictures of the sunset with my digital camera, which certainly cannot do it justice. Sweden has some seriously dramatic sky-scapes. It is so quiet out here you can hear every tree and shrub and leaf move—it’s amazing and just a tiny bit spooky when you’re alone.

SOOO DRAMATIC. We get it, Sweden, your sky is awesome

See the moon? 

River next to farm

May 13^th

HARD DAY. Everything had to be moved. EVERYTHING. Pallets outside. Onions from the green house to the pallets. Cucumbers from one greenhouse to the now-empty onion room. Everything in the planting room to the new greenhouse. Lift.move.repeat. It was fun, though! After work Hanna and I went into Uppsala with Paulina and Anders There is a vegetarian Monday in Uppsala every week, and once a month it uses produce from the farm here in Björklinge. Everyone at the dinner was a ridiculously hip-German-Swede-beautiful-pure-faced-mid-20's-God/Goddess. Yaaaaaay. It was really nice being welcomed into such a cool group for the evening. Paulina is great, and all her friends love her. She is amazing at making friends, from Poland to Austria, and now living in Sweden. Hm.

Dinner was delicious, but unfortunately Hanna ate a big bowl of gluten (to which she is allergic/intolerant), and she puked in the night :( Dessert was a coconut brownie dream. A DREAM. Sorry, Hanna.

Cleaned the bakery (ew) and made sauerkraut (eeee!)

Yessss Polish folk music in the background. Paulina suggested I use my feet to press the sauerkraut because that's how they do in Poland, son. Tomorrow is our last day on the farm. These 2 weeks went so fast. I've learned so much. I don't want to leave yet...
