So nice to have my car back.

The magpie nest is really big now but it doesn’t look as if they’ll use it this year. I rarely see magpies in the garden now days.

It’s so nice to have my own car back again and it is for the first time since at least before christmas very quiet again 🙂 So now I’ll be able to hear all those new strange sounds I haven’t been able to hear since then either 🙂 🙂 🙂

It didn’t feel that cold this morning, 3:30 am (well perhaps late night is a better word for it 🙂 )when I opened the door to let the dogs outside but it was actually -5C (23F). I could see that the sun was on it’s way up, not exactly on the way up but I could see where it would go up a bit later on. The birds were singing and there was no wind at all and I guess it was the absence of wind that made it feel so nice.  I hadn’t become warm enough for me to not scrape ice from the when I drove to work at 4:40 am but the ice was so soft that it didn’t take more than a couple of seconds to get rid of it.

I think we have four species of Yellow star of Bethlehem in our nature but they are also very popular in our gardens.

The wild gooseberry bushes are in bloom, the garden varieties in my garden isn’t even close yet.

The other week I bought a new kind of food for Nova and Alma because they had been a bit wobbly in their stomachs, the new food fixed it but then Nova decided that she wouldn’t eat it 🙂 🙂 🙂 So now I had to buy a new small bag with the old food again so that she would eat again. Treats were no problem though and I think she even considered to eat Albins food, just as long as she didn’t have to eat the new one 🙂 🙂 🙂 I’ll see if I can find another kind that her stomach tolerates and she will eat as well.

The Yellow wood anemone has started to open up in my garden.

The root zone is getting green. Irises, Marsh marigold and Bog arum have started to grow 🙂

I think this is a Cherry plum tree and it has started to flower way too early, the flowers are destroyed when we have frost at night so no plums if all opens up too early.

Besides our walk I’ve done very little the rest of the day. I stopped by the grocery store on my way home and bought, besides food, three lavender. The ones I had died this winter. I also noticed that they now sell berry bushes! They didn’t have a lot but I think it is a step in the right direction. I might even buy some next week just to encourage them 🙂 I’ve also napped for quite some time after we had eaten 🙂 I’m still nasty tired though so I’ll have at least one cup of tea after writing here because I doubt that cup will have any chance what so ever to keep me up this coming night, if it will I have a good book that I’m reading to keep me company 🙂

  1. Hi Christer,
    Doesn’t your car feel almost brand new when it comes back after a longer than usual stay at the repair shop? It doesn’t take long for that to go away, though.
    I forgot there were yellow chionodoxa. I like the blue ones but mixing the two in a mass planting would be cool.
    It’s sunny here but the temperature is only 55⁰F and the wind is very brisk. Unless one is in the sun and out of the wind, it’s kind of cold.
    Have a great day.

    1. Hi Caryn!

      Yes it does and You’re so right, it lasts for too short that feeling 🙂

      I think it might be that I use the British-english name for those flowers, they might be called something else in american-english. Nice flowers that spreads happily but without becoming a weed.

      I always feel robbed when having these sunny days but the wind takes away the warmth. Luckily no wind this morning and quite warm too, it won’t reach 68 but rather close they’re guessing 🙂

      Have a great dya!

      Christer.
