Midsommar in Dalarna a.Word from Ann Voorhies
Anne Voorhies recalls Midsommar in Smaland and Dalarna during 1967 68 in Sweden. The day began cloudy but cleared to bright sun with near continuous daylight after June 21. A finger injury from a car door required stitching and a tetanus shot, followed by hitchhiking home to Rattvik. She gathered seven wild flowers for her Swedish pillow, hoping to dream of her future husband, though pain limited memory of the dream.
