Another rather wonderful day here, mostly sunny even though there now and again some of those really thin clouds high up in the sky passes by but just dim the sunlight a little. Even though the temperature had dropped during the night I still only had a fleece sweater instead of a jacket, walking with Alma really does a jacket a bit too much 🙂 I have to say though that the second walk was unbelievable good when it comes to Alma, she didn’t whine or scream like she always do and the leash pulling was down to a minimum?! (it was the contrary in the morning though).
When we were out on our second walk I came to think of that I’ve never heard anything about easter, folklore and beings. Normally every big christian holiday is filled with that but I can’t find anything, besides the witches and Blåkulla of course. I really need to dig down into this and if I find anything I will write about it tomorrow. Easter Monday is a holiday here but I’m not sure why to be honest. I’ll take any reason to have a holiday though so I’m not complaining about it 🙂 🙂
I brought up the rather high walnut tree from my cool cellar today. Nights will be above freezing they say but I’ll cover it during nights even though the temperature down in the cellar has been as low as 3C ( 37,4F). It stands on the northern side of my cottage and the sun doesn’t reach it yet but it is just a matter of time till no spot on the cottage is in a forever shady place. Plants need not only have to get used to the temperatures outside they also needs to get used to the uv-light it will be hit with. Just like us humans plants can and will get burned by the sun if they aren’t slowly getting used to it, we humans normally managed it but plants can actually die from it. I’ll continue to put out what’s growing in the cellar but I think I’ll wait a few days with the rest of what’s down there.
We’ve had our pancake Sunday lunch like always but now it’s time for the dogs to have their dinner. I’ve done most of the laundry but will have to do the rest tomorrow, my tiny little washing machine can’t take too much of heavy things, like sweaters and trousers, at the same time.
Have a good continuing of Easter!

Christer,
It looks like winter with the snow, the frost and the dark trees. It was a bit chilly here. I should have worn a sweatshirt, but I was hoping it was warm. I was wrong. The prediction is for a really warm rest of the week. Boston will get to the high 70’s, even to the 80’s. We’ll be in the 60’s and maybe the low 70’s as the ocean keeps us chilly. We just about have no spring.
My Easter was a quiet day, but I had a delicious dinner of pork tenderloin with pineapple chutney, au gratin potatoes and roasted carrots. The potatoes were amazing as they were so good. Today I bought some Easter candy 50% off. I have a rabbit to eat.
Take care!

Hi Kat!
I do hope that was the last snow we saw until next winter 🙂 We’ll stay around 50F but You know what our temperatures are like here, up to the 70’s and 80*s are seen as summer temperatures here 🙂 🙂
I did buy some easter candy too but I have to say that it was easier to eat that much candy when I was a child, now it sort of grew in my mouth after a while 🙂 🙂
Have a great day!
