(Note-I added a couple of photos to the end of the previous post for Sunday.)
Samuel with pancake
We started off Monday with brunch of Swedish pancakes with cloud berry and other jams and whipped cream. They are thin and light and delicious! I like them better than American pancakes, since they are not so heavy. On the other hand, I could eat too many of them! Joel came by with his cousin Samuel, whom we’d met in Pajala.

Joel and Samuel did some work in the garden, including digging in the hole that Tim intends to become a pond, and they put up the tepee, which will stay up for the balance of the summer.
Li was also with us, and Joel’s girl friend Agnes joined us in the evening. She played her dulcimer and sang a little–a beautiful voice!
Janie wanted to cook dinner for everyone, so we grilled salmon, asparagus and corn over the fire. We had potatoes cooked on the stove as well as sauerkraut and salad. Quite a feast! They had never had grilled asparagus and it was a hit. Both Annalena and Li made beautiful desserts; Li’s was vegan and it was really good. Annalena’s was more decadent!
