So much colder than I thought it would be.

My neighbours keep finding the Monsters old collars in their garden, this one has been lost for at least six months 🙂 The night was much colder that I thought it would be, it was -7C (19,4F) when we went out on our morning walk and I could see that my neighbour had had to […]

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 […]

  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 […]

Sunshine all day but northern winds.

  The storm is over but it took its time, it was really windy almost all day yesterday but the worst gusts had at least passed by. Over 30 000 households lost power and trees fell all over the south west parts of Sweden. Cars got destroyed and lots of buildings as well. From what […]

Happy Easter!

  So easter has begun. Well it started here yesterday to be honest since it is one of the worst days when it comes to the traffic, not only on the ground but also in the skies. Maundy Thursday is the day when all witches flies to BlÃ¥kulla (a couple of islands in the sea […]
