How can Frigg celebrate Midsummer when there is still snow in her flower beds? The long winters and short summers of Asgard are starting to wear on her. Perhaps it’s time to move to a warmer climate… somewhere like Florida? Can Odin wait for the Ragnarok to begin from Miami Beach?
Odin has no desire to live in a troll-infested swamp. He uses his god powers in one of the wisest possible ways… keeping his wife happy.
My wife and I are living in northern Sweden and looking forward to the Midsommar holiday celebrations this week. However, we actually had to ask one of the locals yesterday, “is it summer yet?” True, we have not seen snow on the ground in, well, maybe four weeks… but it’s hard to believe we are hitting the “halfway point” where the days start to become longer again. Enjoy summer while it lasts!
