Sunny Days


Look at that sun starting to rise!
Anyone care to guess what time this picture was taken??

Did I hear someone say 5:00am?
Sorry, your wrong.. it was taken at 3:05AM


This one was taken at 4:00AM from the comforts of my bed.

I adore Denmark this time of the year. I love that I am not tired at all during the day, at night or in the morning. I actually have to force myself to go to bed. Where as in the winter, I can't seem to not be tired in the morning, afternoon or night. We sleep with our bedroom door open every night and I have been waking up in the morning for the past 2 weeks around 4am to the sound of all the birds waking up and chirping. It is actually very calming and peaceful so I don't mind, and I am always able to get back to sleep. If they were Texas mocking birds however, I'd be annoyed.

Now that May is done with, it was officially the sunniest month in Denmark since 1920! This was a welcome change from last summers depressing rainy weather. Not only was it sunny, but the temperatures were warm and beautiful. Already, just in May, we have used our balcony and I have been able to wear shorts/skirts/tank tops more than all of last summer combined. What a wonderful beautiful fantastic May.

Today is Grundlovsdag (Constitution Day) in Denmark, so Michael gets the day off. Unfortunately, this is the last public holiday until.......*gulp* December 24th.

I hope my attitude about the sun pouring in at 4am is as perky as yours is!! LOL...
I am already worried about that because Mads said that Albert wakes up when the sun comes up and thinks it is time to get up... lord! I cannot imagine! We may be hanging my great grandmother´s quilt on the bedroom window! Enjoy the day off with your hubby!!!
