May - the  beautiful fresh month is here and Skåne is looking as its very best now with yellow rape fields everywhere. This year we had high summer temperature (+25 degrees) early in April, so the Japanese pink cherry trees and magnolia has had its glory and now instead all lilac bushes are in full bloom, which used to be about ready to blossom when school finishes. At least this was the case when I was a child - times and seasons are indeed changing. Global warming again?

We just have to enjoy the beauty and the flowers while it lasts, whether it is in April, May or June. Only sad thing is for all the young girls who usually pick seven different flowers to put under their sleeping pillows the night of Midsummer Eve - to dream about the boy they will marry. What is left for June 19 this year in terms of wild flowers to pick? - Well, we just have to wait and see.

The strawberries are the most important to get, the Swedish ones (not the imported ones from Spain or Holland) and of course before the berries you need the fresh potatoes, sour cream, cut spring onion, the important herring and last but not the least the little "nubbe" (Skånsk Akvavit) . That makes the long and bright Midsummer Eve and night for a Swede - just about perfect.
