Hello, I am Ida.

Here you can see a part of Narvik.
Hello everyone, my name is Ida Karlsen. A few of my relatives is members of the steemit community and they have been recommending this to me. I decided since both my father @harkar and my older sister @majakarlsen have created a blog that I had to try this out and create my own. I think this looks very interesting and exciting.

Me enjoying the beautiful weather this easter.
So why not start with letting you know me a little bit? I live outside a small city called Narvik north in Norway, and I have been living here my whole life. I am 17 years old, turning 18 in September. Since I was younger I have always liked being active. I have danced ballet for several years, but quit taking classes after the last Christmas. I still like to dance and are now enjoying watching my little sister performances as audience, as well as dancing a bit at my own. I am currently studying at High School. Besides school I work in a clothing store and spend a lot of time with my friends and family. I also like to hike, bake and take pictures. My dad is very good at it and I get some inspiration from him, and also some help to get better at photography.

Me at a hike last august leaning against the wind on a rainy day.
I am excited to join this community and I am looking forward to find out more abut it and the people here, as well as sharing things from my life here.
Best regards Ida.

Hi Ida! What a beautiful place you live in! I have heard of your town because I do have a Norwegian friend here in Maine who is also from the north in Norway.
Welcome! It is so nice to have you with us here. Please let me know if you have any questions by posting them here, and I will help if I can. Good luck!
Thank you very much, and thank you for your helpfulness!
You are very welcome. Say, out of curiosity...has all your snow melted yet? Do you have any kind of growing season, or is summer too short for crops?
The snow has melted mostly everywhere except up in the mountains. The summer has not fully began (it is more late spring now), so it is still a bit early for crops.
There is still a little snow on our highest peak here in Maine (Mount Katahdin, 5280 feet) but the snow has been gone everywhere else now for three weeks. Soon our farmers will plant. They are already plowing. What do your farmers grow there?
The farmers is starting to plant potatoes and carrots here now when weather is beginning to get a bit warmer. :)
Thank you, Ida. Tubers...just like we must grow here in our sandy, rocky soil. It sounds a lot like northern Maine where you are. Thanks for taking the time to reply.
Good luck!
Thank you, good luck to you too!
