It has been a rather wonderful day here today, yesterday wasn’t that bad either to be honest but we did have some wind that made it feel a bit more chilly than it actually was. Today started chilly and frosty but it changed quite fast and the rest of the day has been warm, nice and sunny.
Well the sun is hiding behind clouds now but it is still rather warm. A low pressure will pass tomorrow and on Friday but the temperature won’t drop especially much, could this mean spring has come to stay now? I do hope so. The birds seems to think so anyway but then again they were singing spring songs almost as much as now when we got that last snow 🙂 🙂
I woke up with a really sour throat today and I’ve had some neck pain/ head ache. No fever though and I wonder if it is the corona virus I’ve gotten? So ever since the early morning I’ve eaten small ammounts of honey and as soon as I’ve done that my throat has felt much better. I’ve also had a lot of tea with ginger but I would have had that anyway 🙂
One more day at home and then back to work for one day, after that we’re having a four day holiday since it is easter and then on the Friday after that back to the physiotherapist. If my shoulder is better we’ll continue with the exercises if not she’ll send me to the doctor. So far I can’t say I feel much change though, well slightly better to be honest but there’s still time for it to change.
I planted the rose on Teodor’s resting place today. We might still have chilly nights though so I’ve placed a big clay pot over it. Both to protect it from the cold nights but also from the burning sunshine. No risk of sunshine tomorrow though so I’ll remove the pot in the morning so that the opening leaf buds can get used to daylight and later on the sun shining.I’m a bit late but I’ve also sown melon seeds and the tomato seeds will be sown tomorrow.
I’ve also started to sow annuals, like poppies and cornflower in the old wheel barrow. Later on I’ll sow californian poppies and nasturtium so I think the wheel barrow will look just as nice this year. I also need to sow morning glories and Black-eyed Susan vines soon so they get a chance to flower at all, they are a bit slow with that I’m afraid.
Have a great day!

Hi Christer,
I’m itching to throw some grass seed down in the bare spots but I think the soil is too cold still. Last fall I planted some beech seeds and I keep checking to see if they have popped up yet. No. I expect they won’t but they were free so no loss.
Today started out cloudy and it rained a little. The weather guy said it would be done by lunch and he was right! The sun came out and it’s quite nice out there. The trees are starting to get that bright green, slightly fuzzy look of breaking buds. Maybe spring is here to stay?
I hope your shoulder improves soon.
Have a great evening.

Hi Caryn!
The grass seeds we have over here can usually be tossed out even if it still is a bit chilly but I’m pretty sure we have different species in our grass seed bags.
I think it is a bit early for those seeds to show yet, You have had more or less the same kind of weather and temperatures as we’ve had lately so I don’t think they’ll show for another couple of weeks as best.
We’ll have a couple of grey days with some rain falling but it will stay close to 50F anyway. I do hope spring has come to stay now, I’m so tired of snow and icy car windows 🙂 🙂
Have a great day!
Christer.
