Heybarn

Hi Monte,
These small "houses" are definitely not made to live in!
The barns are built in such way the air must be able to circulate between the boards. These barns were once built in the middle of the fields or at the edge of the fields to store the hay. The hay was picked up either buy horse or ski in winter. I wouldn't think the hay barns have been used after the farmers started to use tractors. In northern part of the country, we still have lots of them left out in the fields. The farmers can apply a small amount of money for restoring or maintaining them as a cultural heritage. I'm out in the fields a lot and it's quite a nice view!

Easter Witches

The tradition, Sweden and parts of Finland, is said to come from the old belief that witches would fly to “Blue Mountain”, a fictitious mountain, the Thursday before Easter to cavort with Satan. On their way back, Swedes would light fires to scare them away, a practice honoured today by the bonfires and fireworks across the land in the days leading up to Sunday. It's a tradition that goes back to 1600!

There were witch hunts that developed from this superstition and as late as in the 18th century, women denounced as witches could still face capital punishment. The execution of the last witch in Sweden was in 1720, with gruesome witch trials in the 1670s. All doors and windows were kept closed on Maundy Thursday and the dampers of the fireplaces were firmly shut. Thresholds and door jams were marked with the sign of the cross in tar to keep the witches at bay.

Kids dress up with rags and old clothes, with a scarf on their head. an apron and red painted cheeks, often carrying a coffeepot or a copper kettle, giving away Happy Easter drawings in exchange for some candy.
An Easter witch isn't that scary as a scary as a "Halloween kid".
