“It’s snowing outside”

She loudly out cried
When through the window eyed
But then, with one quick stride
Without even a good-bye
And to everyone’s surprise
She was gone like a spy
Out into the great wild
Also known as the outside

Imprints in the snow
Leaving a soft glow
Trying to follow the flow
With a pace set as slow

Bright and shiny
With colours so lively
Lighting up the mood daily

Smiling so shyly

Elevator Views

Higher and higher
Up the high riser
Like a race car driver
In this scenic elevator

Speed is getting faster
Closer up the rafter
Feeling the adventure
And the ultimate pleasure

Blue Skies chorus by Irving Berlin

“Mondays are mundane, like Tuesdays minus 24 hours.
” 

Blue Skies

The sun in the sky
Shining so bright
Feeling so high
What a delight

Peace on my mind
Starting to unwind
Future defined
Ever so fine

“Blue days
All of them gone
Nothing but blue skies
From now on”

“Who am I that I have to sing under an umbrella? These people are my fans, and if they can stand in the rain to hear me sing, I can stand in the rain” Bobby Darin

Umbrella (Daily Photo 2016-02-08)

Step under my umbrella
We can sing in a cappella
Like we were the Ella
Just out of hella
Lady or a fella

Let’s create a novella
You can play the Stella
Prance around like a gazella
Maybe invite the Cinderella
Even if she is vanilla

There is no dilemma
Here what I tell ‘Ya
It’s quite the Rockwell’a
So step under my umbrella
Just out of the hella

Snow Cats (Daily Photo 2016-02-07)

“Speak no evil
See no evil
Hear no evil”

Made
Out of snow
Maybe
Just for show
The three snow cats
Are having
A silent chat

As the time flies
The three little spies
Are watching passers-by
Wondering why
They all are
In such a hurry

Mandatory: Yearly Vehicle Inspection

katsastus-2

My poor little cabby
You looked a little shabby
When the man in uniform
Wanted to check how you perform

Up into the air hoisted
Light to all places pointed
Every nook and crannie
Last but not least, your fanny
Inspected, suspected, subjected
Finally accepted and approved

With a grinn on your grill
Because I got stuck with the bill
But happily paid the dues
And out into the traffic we flew

Runeberg torte: In honour of the Finnish poet Johan Ludvig Runeberg (1804–1877)

Posted in Celebration, National Day, Food
Finnish National Anthem

“Our land, our land, our fatherland,
Sound loud, O name of worth!
No mount that meets the heaven’s band.
No hidden vale, no wavewashed strand.
Is loved, as is our native North. Our own forefathers’ earth.

Thy blossom, in the bud laid low,
Yet ripened shall upspring.
See! From our love once more shall grow
Thy light, thy joy, thy hope, thy glow!
And clearer yet one day shall ring The song our land shall sing.”

Johan Ludvig Runeberg

Runeberg torte: In honour of the Finnish poet Johan Ludvig Runeberg (1804–1877)

Runeberg torte is a Finnish pastry flavored with almonds and arrack or rum and it weighs about 100 grams. Raspberry jam inside a sugar ring is commonly placed on top of the tart.

The torte got its name from the Finnish poet Johan Ludvig Runeberg (1804–1877) who, according to legend, enjoyed the torte with punsch for every breakfast. Runeberg tortes are typically eaten only in Finland and are generally available in stores from the beginning of January to Runeberg’s birthday on February 5.

Delicious!
