..when suddenly... Could it be...oh yes: SUN!
And when we Finns celebrate*, there's really no limit so MOON showed up as well!
It was a crisp winter-morning (-22C), and everything was sort of festively beautiful. Our flags were up already, and I was the only person around. Peaceful Birthday, Finland!
And oh, suddenly I wasn't the only one around, this little guy was having his snack high, high up in the tree... Hello there, little squirrel!
After a quiet morning I had a busy day, and as you read this we're enjoying our Independence Day celebrations. I wish you a lovely, lovely evening, and will tell you more of all yummy things we had tomorrow.
Happy December 6th!
Yours,
Mia

Hyvaa itsenaisyyspaivaa, Mia ja Suomi! Beautiful post with the cute squirrel! they look sometimes inside from my father's window.
I watched the party in the Castle and with some old songs it was really touching!
I wish you great weekend!

Ps. You have already so cold - can you believe that at this moment I wear cotton socks, woollen knitted socks and 'Aino' homeshoes! Finally warm feet!
Happy 95th Birthday Finland! Enjoy your celebration Mia! The "Sun", that was worth a celebration all in itself!
