Kaffe Paus (Coffee Break)



It's 9:30 am in Sweden so that means it's time for a "Kaffe Paus" or "Fika" (both terms are Swedish for Coffee Break). This is the time when I make my lists of things to do and think a bit about what I have done so far. The coffee is strong and my energy is at its all time high. This is my most favorite time of the day, anything seems possible!

The rain from the night has left my front yard totally free of snow. The sight of the green grass looks like spring’s little peep show from my kitchen window. The wind rips through the naked tree branches; winter's way of saying "Not so fast, it's still only January".....
