Today has been a day of relaxation, well the previous ones as well but today we took an extra long nap after lunch. The hunters were out for the most part of the day when we still had daylight and it has also rained quite a lot so none of the dogs were outside for any longer period of time. I could hear the hunting dogs every time I went outdoors so I guess they never met any of the potential wolves out there.
I was planning on going to the grocery store tomorrow but we’ll have sunshine so I’ll postpone it until Wednesday instead (it looks like the rest of the week will be mostly rainy here, I don’t mind but it would be nice if we could have some sunshine and above freezing now when I have my vacation). I really don’t need that much but seeds for the birds are running low and I forgot to buy gingerbread last week so I haven’t had any this entire christmas, to be honest I haven’t eaten more than a couple this entire December so I feel that is one thing I need to correct 🙂 I’ll also buy some julmust, haven’t had much of that either.
It’s the season to start thinking of seeds again. Either one buy seeds for perennials that needs a winter to start germinating or buy those vegetable seeds one want to grow this summer. I wasn’t that successful with peas but I did get a lot of beans. My white cabbage never became bigger than a tennis ball so I’ll sow some other kind instead. The lettuce however grew better than expected but then again lettuce isn’t especially hard to grow, they don’t like hot summers so spring or early autumn usually works perfectly. So far my Pawpaws look living and healthy and I do hope that if winter decides to come back again that it at least stays just below freezing and not much lower, they are still really small and need a few years before they manages our rather long dark period during winter.
It’s time to get something to eat and then see if there’s anything worth watching on tv. I don’t dare to fall asleep again because I’m pretty sure that would make it impossible to fall asleep later tonight 🙂
Have a good continuing of the yule!

Hi Christer!
No snow here, thankfully. It’s warmed up to about 30⁰F and there’s lots of sun. They say it will warm up to 50⁰F by the weekend but it will also rain.
Enjoy perusing the seed catalogues.

Hi Caryn!
The snow comes and goes and we’ll have plenty again from Tuesday I think it was and it’s even better since it will be wet and heavy as well 🙂 🙂 🙂
Have a good continuing of the new year 🙂

It’s too bad that the weather is not more cooperative during your vacation, Christer. It looks like you don’t have a lot of snow, but the forest scenes are lovely and so peaceful. We are home in NH from our Christmas road trip to visit family in RI. It is not as cold as when we left, but there isn’t any snow or rain in the forecast before the end of the year. We will spend those days at home since we do not go anywhere for New Years Eve. Like yourself as will go to the grocery store. I hope you find gingerbread. What is julmust?
Sending our best wishes for a very Happy New Year.

Hi Beatrice!!
I’m afraid the weather rarely cooperates with me 🙂 🙂 🙂
The snow comes and goes and no snow at the moment but we’ll get plenty from Tuesday I think it was, can’t say I’m happy about it.
Julmust is a Swedish soda that they sell only around christmas (well to be honest they do sell it around easter as well but then they call it easter instead 🙂 🙂 ). It was a try to make people drink less beer and alcohol around christmas back in the days when we had huge problems with people drinking way too much. I’m not sure it helped that way but instead it became the most popular soda in te country, not even coca cols has a chance against it.
Have a good continuing of the new year 🙂
