Another really nice day, summer is here.

We started the day with having a blue sky, sunshine and cool temperatures . I wore a fleece sweater and regretted it almost immediately 🙂 It was too warm even in the shadows but I needed something with pockets so I could bring my phone and dog treats 🙂 It’s always good to bring a […]

Today I got good news :-)

First of all I want to thank those of You who think my little things here on Bluesky is worth reposting. Thank You ! So last week I went to a city named BorÃ¥s to check on a job as a painter, both powder and wet paint. The problem is that it takes almost 1 […]

So much rain and I want more.

It has rained here since yesterday afternoon, I don’t have a rain meter but a friend of mine has gotten just more than an inch of rain. I now have two full water barrels and three on they way to become that and each can contain around 325 litres (around 84 gallons US). I think […]

Cold night but no moose.

It’s really annoying because they’ve changed things here on WP and not for the better I’m afraid, now I need to re-learn how to put in photos here in the post and I don’t like it. Before I had a bar above what I wrote where I easily could just press a media button and […]

I didn’t expect to meet that on our walk.

Greylags on they way out to the bog. A beautiful sunrise and a cold morning, not as cold as yesterday but cold enough to kill the plants that had survived yesterday but was badly hit by the frost yesterday. My neighbours tomato plants said good buy and the one I had in the greenhouse  that […]

Nasty work but it needs to be done :-)

  Even though it barely reached 10C (50F) and the wind kept on blowing it wasn’t that bad today. The sun shone all day long and most of the wind came from west so most of it never reached my garden. I picked off around 25 small ticks from the dogs after the morning walk […]

Summer warmth.

The forest owner cut down three birch trees around the old root cellar. My neighbours will now have evening sun but I’ve seen them every day for 26 years so it looks so empty now. I had written a really long post and just had to leave the computer for a few minutes and during […]

Nasty arctic winds.

  Just as cold this morning as it was yesterday, -6C (21,2F) and that was one night too many for the annuals I put in the greenhouse to see how well they would do if the night would be as cold as that.  Still a bitterly cold arctic wind blowing so it didn’t feel as […]

Warm weather is on the way.

  Yesterday was horrid, nasty cold and strong winds directly from the arctic and cloudy almost all day. Not even the dogs wanted to be outside for more than a few minutes at a time. I had turned off the radiator in my bedroom so I woke up freezing in the middle of the night […]

We’re having a really nice spring.

  Another cold night followed by a really nice and warm day. Sunshine all day long and we saw a lot of animals when we were out on our morning walk. We met our fox and once again I was too slow to get a photo, it really should know by now that it has […]

Warm days and cold nights.

A little Robin was kind enough to sit still long enough in the sunshine for me to get a photo of it. I must admit that I didn’t think it was as cold as it was when I followed the dogs outside when we had woken up, -6C (21,2F). I guess that there was no […]

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 […]
