Hyttelykke...

Vestveggen av hytta, fuglekassen og nesten hele Kanstadfjorden i midnattsol.
The west wall of our cabin, a nesting box and the entire Kanstad Fjord bathed in midnight sun.

Mamma i fjaera. Stedet hun staar er dekket av vann naar det er flo. I baaten bak henne er pappa ute og fisker. Han fikk to torsker.
Mum at the waterfront at low tide. At high tide the place where she stands is covered in water. And in the boat behind her dad's out fishing... He caught two cods.
Hele denne delen av fjaera er dekket av vann naar det er flo, selv de hvite blomstene er i fullt flor naar sjoevannet staar over dem. Men akkurat da vi var der, var det i stedet kjempefint aa vandre der.
All this ground, save for the grass on the left, is covered by water when the tide is high. Even the white flowers blossom under water then! But when we were there late Saturday night it was a perfect spot for an evening walk...

Bankfjaera i Loedingen, med utsikt mot fastlandet - og Stetind, Norges nasjonalfjell.
The Bank Beach in Lodingen town, view towards the mainland and also towards Stetind, Norway's national mountain.

Pappa og mamma i baaten, som har faatt seg ny motor. Hurra!
Dad and mum in our boat, which has gotten a new motor. Yay!
Mamma har faatt opp hengekoeya si paa hytta, omsider. Det var populaert.
Mum has finally had her hammock (??) put up outside the cabin, finally. It's very popular!

In this house, behind those windows, my great grandfather once lived. He was born in 1883.
