Joel - By the river

IMG_6880b

Tännää perinteiselt "tarviittakstyömittäämieoonmänöskauppaa"-mummoluonkäynnilt tulles piäti joe rantaa ja västäräkki käi sanomas jot "vähäse".

Did my traditional "need anything, I'm going to the store?"-visit at Grandma's and afterwards I stopped by the river. Motacilla alba, white wagtail, came to say hello. We have a rhyme about migrating birds in Finnish, which roughly says that for the summer to arrive, it'll take half a moon after you've seen a  common chaffinch, a while after seeing the white wagtail but not even a day after the swallow. So, a while more, then.

Vappaan virtaava ves. Onks hienompaa? Noeijölee, niiko meil nörttipiireis sanotaa.

Water flowing free from ice. Isn't that the greatest? It is, do not argue with me on this.
