Lots of hard work.

We have a saying here that when the birch leafs are as big as mouse ears it’s time to cut the roses. So yesterday morning I woke up pretty early and was preparing for going to my health center. I chose that place long ago since it was close to my work place, from here […]

  We weren’t supposed to have any sunshine today and in a way they were right, the sky was covered in clouds all day but they were so thin that the sunshine broke through without any problems at all 🙂 I haven’t done much after the morning walk, I did sow some Pasqueflower seeds that […]

Emptying the compost.

The last tomatoes from last summer. After a really cold night warm air flowed in so we had some morning mist here this morning. I was a bit too tired to have a that early morning walk with the dogs so I missed most of it. It stayed chilly for quite some time but since […]

I’ve been working in the garden.

  It has been a really nice day here even though the weak wind was pretty cold. Below 0C (32F) temperature during night again but it looks like the coming night will be the last one in a while to have that. From now on it’ll be cloudy but warmer winds will finally fly in […]

Before the storm arrives.

  It was windy already when I woke up this morning and it has kept on all day but now it’ll calm down during the night just to grow up to be a storm hitting us hard tomorrow afternoon/ night. The storm called Dave is at the moment hitting the British Isles so it’ll be […]

Nasty cold night.

  -5C (23F) here this morning and it was like being slapped in the face when I followed the dogs outside first thing in the morning. Still the sun rose and it has stayed cloud free all day despite they saying otherwise yesterday 🙂  I guess the wind arrived later because every now and again […]

Chilly nights.

  We’ve had two really nice days here, mostly sunny and up to 13C (55,4F). We did have a chilly wind yesterday but as usually it didn’t reach my garden 🙂 Nights have been cold though and water surfaces have been frozen when we’ve passed them on our morning walks. No more moose sightings but […]

A really nice day.

  A bit grey and dull this morning but rather warm again, warm in this case means 6C (42,8F). If there was any wind I didn’t feel it, not in the garden not in the forest where we had our morning walk. They had guessed the sun would show itself before noon so I waited […]

A bit chilly today.

  The morning was quite nice here despite it being a bit chilly. The temperature had dropped down below 0C (32F) during the night but there was no wind thankfully. A nice fog had paced itself in and around our village but there was unfortunately some misty rain mixed in it. The birds didn’t seem […]

The nice weather just keep going on :-)

  We’re having a really nice day here, cold in the morning but the sun has shined all day so the temperature rose rather rapidly, not quite 10C (50F) but close enough. The sun is still not strong enough to get the ground to thaw and in some places the ground is still so cold […]
