Today is both Kids day in Russia and Dinosaur day in the USA. A perfect combination if you ask me! Take the kids to a dinosaur-museum, or go play dinosaurs in the jungle-forrest-backyard.<\/p>\n<p>2. Go fishing!<\/p>\n<p>3.&amp;nbsp;Make a collection of small line-drawings. Buy some henna-powder and oil to make a temporary tattoo from your favorite line-doodle-drawing. The tattoo will only last a week or so, but hey! That means a week of fun!<\/p>\n<p>4. Make a wholesome breakfast that is so good you\u00b4d think it was dessert!&amp;nbsp;Here\u00b4s the recipe for <strong>yogurt delight<\/strong>: mix 1 sliced banana with 2 teaspoons of honey i a bowl. Add 1\/4 cup of frozen red raspberries, &amp;nbsp;1\/4 cup of frozen blackberries and 1\/4 cup of frozen blueberries. Then add 1\/2 cup of plain yogurt, and if you want 4 teaspoons of granola just before eating. Enjoy frozen yogurt day!<\/p>\n<p>5. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.unep.org\/wed\/2010\/english\/\">UN World environment day<\/a>. There are literally thousands of ways to do something positive for the environment.

I think we should show our appreciation of cows, by using milk in one of my favorite foods:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ice cream! <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ingredients:<br \/>\n4 egg yolks<br \/>\n1\/2 pint (250ml) milk<br \/>\n1\/2 pint (250ml) double\/heavy cream<br \/>\n4 oz (100g) sugar or caster sugar<br \/>\n1 vanilla pod (scored down the middle)<\/p>\n<p>Click the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ice-cream-recipes.com\/ice_cream_recipe_vanilla.htm\">recipe-link<\/a> for the instructions.<\/p>\n<p>7. This week is clay-week. Get some paper-clay and have fun sculpting. Look <a href=\"http:\/\/staceymead.blogspot.com\/2010\/05\/another-side-of-me.html\">here<\/a> for inspiration. And as today is Accordion Lovers Day, listen to some old Sivuca or Edith Piaf.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.spindelmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/IMG_0010.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6598\" title=\"IMG_0010\" src=\"http:\/\/www.spindelmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/IMG_0010.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"350\" height=\"494\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>8. I have a big veranda on the roof of my house. Every year I invite some of my friends over for \u201ctak-terasse-taco\u201d (roof-terrace-tacos). I cover the floor with all my kelim-rugs, find all the biggest pillows, and all the most colorful plates for the food. Lots of vegetables and sauces and drink to choose from, and a feel-good music compilation, and PARTY! You can copy the image below, and add the invitation-text onto it:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.spindelmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/Taco-invitasjon.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6594\" title=\"Taco-invitasjon!\" src=\"http:\/\/www.spindelmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/Taco-invitasjon.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"450\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>9. To celebrate Donald Duck birthday, sit down and make a cartoon. Find your own story and plot, and make a short story to fill a page. It also happens to be the&amp;nbsp;National Strawberry Rhubarb Pie Day. So guess what you have to make for dessert?! O, yum!!<\/p>\n<p>10. Make a big batch of ice tea, find your hammock and a good book, and have a very relaxed summer-afternoon.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.spindelmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/IMG_1256.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6597\" title=\"IMG_1256\" src=\"http:\/\/www.spindelmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/IMG_1256.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"218\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>11.&amp;nbsp;Today is National Feed the Ducks Day. (Pigeons don\u2019t count). Personally I intend to attend a tango-course today!<\/p>\n<p>12. Learn a magic trick today. Maybe you can find a trick<a href=\"http:\/\/www.goodtricks.net\/\"> here<\/a>. Now practice!<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">13<\/span>. \u201cCreating with Your Heart Day\u201d, a way to honor the values in your heart with action. Well, that says it all, doesn\u00b4t it. Let\u00b4s get creative!<\/p>\n<p>14.&amp;nbsp;Today is Family History Day, and I want to start working on my big family album that I\u00b4ve been planning for some time now. An old victorian album where every one of my great-grand-parents get their own page. I\u00b4ll have to see how much I can find out about them, and try to incorporate some of it into their pages.<\/p>\n<p>15. Go fly a kite. Don\u00b4t have one? No problem. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.skratch-pad.com\/kites\/make.html\">Make one!<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.spindelmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/IMG_1736.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6596\" title=\"IMG_1736\" src=\"http:\/\/www.spindelmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/IMG_1736.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"247\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>16.<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"> <\/span>Meet a Mate Week&amp;nbsp; begins today. Travel, sports events, volunteer activities, all great ways to meet new people in summer..<\/p>\n<p>17. Let\u00b4s celebrate with Iceland today. It\u00b4s their indpendance day. Iceland IS more than volcanos and ash-clouds, even though that\u00b4s pretty much all that\u00b4s been on the news lately. They\u00b4ve got some really great designers, and are way ahead of the rest of us in fashion for example.<\/p>\n<p>18. Take your family with you on a picnic. It doesn\u00b4t have to be far. Eating outside in the nature can be great. I think the fresh air probably gives a better appetite.<\/p>\n<p>Today is Constitution Day in&amp;nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.virtualseychelles.sc\/\">Seychelles<\/a>, a nation of 79,000 people on 86 islands in the Indian Ocean. Maybe we should read up on this tiny, exotic country. And dream of visiting\u2026<\/p>\n<p>19. Invest in a small tent. A two-person tent is big enough. Go camping. If you don\u00b4t live anywhere near a camping park, go camping in your own garden. Sleeping outside at night, in a sleeping bag, is just another experience! Even if you are just two feet from your house, the sounds are different, the smells are different! Bring a flashlight and tell spooky stories to each other. Because you need to bring a friend to enjoy this with <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/spindelmaker.bluesystems.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/simple-smile-122.png\" alt=\":-)\" class=\"wp-smiley\" style=\"height: 1em; max-height: 1em;\"\/> and come to think of it, you might need marshmallows for munching too <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/spindelmaker.bluesystems.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/simple-smile-122.png\" alt=\":-)\" class=\"wp-smiley\" style=\"height: 1em; max-height: 1em;\"\/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">20<\/span>. Today is finish-a-project-day. I invented this one myself, and it shouldn\u00b4t just be a day, it should be week! I\u00b4m gonna start with fitting that beautiful 50s vintage dress I got at a flee-marked. If you don\u00b4t have any unfinished projects (yeah, right!), why not paint the walls on your new tent. Customize it! <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/spindelmaker.bluesystems.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/simple-smile-122.png\" alt=\":-)\" class=\"wp-smiley\" style=\"height: 1em; max-height: 1em;\"\/><\/p>\n<p>21. On the first official day of summer we will have an&amp;nbsp;Aimless Wandering Day. Take your camera for a walk and take lots of awesome photos.<\/p>\n<p>22. Today is pink. And since it is also Soap Microphone Day, shower while singing into the soap.&amp;nbsp;Dress up in your pinks, and eat pink food. Hm. that would be<a href=\"http:\/\/www.channel4.com\/food\/recipes\/baking\/cakes\/strawberry-macaroons-recipe_p_1.html\"> strawberry macaroons,<\/a> wouldn\u00b4t it? Listen to Pink, and sit out in the sun long enough for your nose to turn a light shade of sun-burned pink <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/spindelmaker.bluesystems.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/simple-smile-122.png\" alt=\":-)\" class=\"wp-smiley\" style=\"height: 1em; max-height: 1em;\"\/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.spindelmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/IMG_0747.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6599\" title=\"IMG_0747\" src=\"http:\/\/www.spindelmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/IMG_0747.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"225\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>23. <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Midsummer\">Midsummers eve! <\/a>This is when the sun turns in the Northern hemisphere, and days will start go grow shorter again. But tonight is the longest day in the year, and tonight the witches will be out! Make a big bonfire with all your neighbors, bring hot-dogs and marshmallows, and have a big out-door party!<\/p>\n<p>It is also said that if a girl puts flowers under her pillow that night, she will dream of her future husband. (sigh\u2026)<\/p>\n<p>24. Make two tiny boat from a tree\u00b4s bark. Make the sail from a scrap of fabric. Take them to a book or a river and have a race with one of your friends.<\/p>\n<p>25.<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"> <\/span>Today is Independence Day in Mozambique, Slovenia, Croatia,&amp;nbsp;and Bhutan. Pick one of these countries, and learn more about it. Personally Bhutan is on my dream-countries-to-visit-list. (Even though it\u00b4s quite cold there) Maybe I\u00b4ll make a picture inspired by the folk-art from Bhutan.<\/p>\n<p>26. I\u00b4m going to Tuscany today, maybe we should make today an Italian wine-tasting party-evening?<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">27.<span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"> <\/span><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Today is &amp;nbsp;Lemonade Day. Yay! I love lemonade! Make a big batch, and set up a table outside your house, and give away a taste to your passing neighbors. Maybe you get to know new friends? Save some of the seeds, you\u00b4ll need them to stick in a pot of soil later, so you can get a lemon-tree for next year. In cold areas, like Norway, they can grow inside.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.spindelmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/IMG_8738.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6416\" title=\"IMG_8738\" src=\"http:\/\/www.spindelmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/IMG_8738.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"213\"><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>28.Today is Long Letter Day, a time to stop and write that long letter to an old friend.

Take your water-colors with you, and find a secluded spot with a great view. Remember to bring something to drink so you don\u00b4t de-hydrate in the sun.<\/p>\n<p>30. Superman\u00b4s birthday. Hm.
