No wind this morning and sunshine. Really pleasant to walk around in the forest listening to all birds and some deer running away when we came close. Still it was below 0C (32F) and the water had frozen during the night. These mornings really are the best because it feels warm and nice but no […]

We’ve had sunshine all day but also a strong and chilly northern wind blowing all day and that did take away the joy of being outdoors. It even reached parts of the garden so I mostly stayed there. Except from when I tried to rip up stinging nettle roots. Stinging nettles are to be honest […]

The wild hogs comes closer and closer.

-6C (21,2F) as coldest last night but it can’t have lasted that long because it was close to 0C (32F) when we went outside after we had woken up. They said the sun would start to show around 8 am, so of course it didn’t arrive until after noon but when it did the world […]

For once we didn’t have frost last night but instead we had hard northern winds blowing so that sort of evened it all out πŸ™‚ Sunshine all day with the exception smaller clouds passing in the sky in front of the sun. It was pretty nice as long as one kept away from the wind […]

The ticks and mosquitoes are back, yay.

Below 0C (32F) again this morning, nothing strange to be honest because that’s how it used to be back in the days. April here back in the days could be anything from what we have now to bitterly cold and snowstorms, usually the latter. This year the warm weather started so early that it isn’t […]

They say it’ll rain tomorrow.

Another really nice and sunny spring day here. Started a bit cloudy but warm so I didn’t feel I had the right to complain πŸ™‚ No cranes in the field though but I could hear some trumpeting in fields further away. We walked down to the creek but in the opposite direction to what we […]

Our nesting couples are here now :-)

It was warmish and cloudy this morning when we went out in the garden. Four cranes were walking in the field outside my garden, two left when they heard us but two stayed. The problem was that I only could photograph them through the branches on my catalpa tree πŸ™‚ I did get a few […]

Hold Your thumbs and cross Your fingers!

Β  We had odd weather yesterday, we were supposed to have rain and we did get some misty rain but that was it. Instead the air felt sort of thick (no mist or fog) so it did drop a lot from the roofs anyway, really odd πŸ™‚ It stayed that way until noon today when […]

Β  Another really nice morning, chilly but sunny and no wind. The wind will arrive a bit later and with it it will bring clouds and perhaps some rain as well. Works good for me since I’m planning to sow winter lettuce. It can’t germinate when it is warm weather and can live long in […]

A wonderful spring day :-)

So the cold is slowly getting better and this morning the sun shone, which it wasn’t supposed to do and there as frost on the vegetation so we had a short walk in almost perfect weather. Β It was so nice to finally be breathing fresh air again πŸ™‚ Alma almost behaved so that helped a […]

The weather has really been boring for a couple of days now but it is well above 0 C (32 f) so I’m not complaining too much. The cottage becomes a mess though because since the dogs don’t want to be outdoors besides for walk they play indoors instead πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ They aren’t allowed to […]

A winter day.

Β  -10 C (14 F) when we went out for our morning walk, the sun was supposed to shine from early morning until it set so naturally we only had sunshine for an hour. The wind wasn’t strong but had a nasty bite to it so it was a relief when we could walk in […]
