Midsommar i Fallet - Part 2

Dancing.  Dancing round the Midsommar Stång (Maypole) is a huge part of the tradition of midsummer.  Despite the cold and rain we danced!

In the above photo we are singing one of the most famous Midsommar songs.  It is called "Små Grodorna (small frogs)":

"Små grodorna... små grodorna... så lustiga att ser...

Små grodorna... små grodorna... så lustiga att ser...

Ej öron... ej öron... ej svansar har var de...

Ej öron... ej öron... ej svansar har var de..."

In the middle of dancing we collectively looked over at the adjacent feild and were surprised to find all the bulls standing and quietly looking on as we danced.  They seemed enchanted by our singing and dancing.  Wide eyed and ears up they were soaking up the strange behavior of their neighbors.  Here is a picture of our friends the cows.

These cows look a bit scared from the activity across the fence. Maybe they just see a big crowd working up an appetite.
