The title is inspired by the French painter Manet, and his painting of four friends having a picnic&nbsp;in the woods. No woods here, but the tranquility is the same. Lying on the gras with the hay-\u201cfence\u201d around you. The sweet smell of drying grass. Looking up, two sea-eagles are floating by high above.<\/p>\n

Saturday we invited the public to join us for a picnic in the labyrinth. Several families came, and we had a nice get-together. No need to organize anything for the kids. They very quickly &nbsp;found themselves playing side by side, running, chasing, playing in and around the hay-labyrinth. Giggles and squeals of happiness were heard.<\/p>\n

On Friday one of the local kindergartens had visited, and even though it was raining when they were there, the teachers said it was a success. The children were running around, playing and having fun.<\/p>\n
It\u00b4s all happened so fast, this project. Mainly because it\u00b4s weather-dependent. It was literarily from one day to the next. I called my farmer-friend Birgitta one evening, the cut the gras the next day, and the very next day, we built it. It was a short time to plan, but still people came to help build the labyrinth. And on Saturday, when the rain took a break, still more people came. It\u00b4s been shared so many times on Facebook, I almost believe we\u00b4ve struck a chord. &nbsp;A chord resounding of happy childhood, traditions worth taking care of, and, I believe, the importance of the farmers\u00b4 contribution to the rest of us. We really don\u00b4t appreciate the farmers enough. They do a tremendous job!<\/p>\n
If this small piece of temporary art can raise awareness and appreciation of the farmers, I\u00b4d be very happy! I know &nbsp;that it\u00b4s already made lots of children happy!<\/p>\n
