It has been a rather nice day with lots of sunshine and below freezing temperatures until noon, after that it has been grey and dull.. Most of the snow is now gone, instead we have ice 🙂 except for where the sun has reached, the snow is still there but was so hard that even I could walk on it!

     

We walked down to the creek and thankfully, even though I do like having horses working in the forest, the horse guy and his horses were elsewhere today. So much easier to walk with Alma, especially on slippery ice 🙂 🙂 We managed to have our walk despite ice and lots of pulling the leash from them both. It will stay above 0 C (32 F) both night and day for seven days they’re guessing so that ice will probably melt away in the shadowy parts as well.

     

After that I’ve tried to understand the new computer 🙂 I wanted to see something on tv today so I had to do it via the computer. So I installed SVT (Swedish television) play, easy done but since I don’t have any speaker I then logged in to SVT Radio to get some sound via my phone, It was ski Biathlon I wanted to watch and it is a so popular sport here that they have it on both radio and tv at the same time. What I didn’t know was that the tv was around 10 minutes after the radio so when they said what was happening on the radio it still hadn’t happened on tv, very odd 🙂 🙂 🙂 So I had to download SVT play on my phone so that I could get the sound and picture right 🙂 🙂

     

I also downloaded my photos to the new computer, I can see why professional photographer wants that program, the photos are so clear that it is amazing! However the program is anything but user friendly 🙂 🙂 🙂 Downloading the photos was easy but then trying to create an album took around twenty minutes before I figured it out, the problem was that it seemed impossible to get those photos in to the new album 🙂 🙂  Took ten minutes to figure that out as well 🙂 I only down size my photos and that should be easy enough but oh no. I had to check how many MB it was after I tried it because I’m used to PC 🙂 🙂 🙂 I still don’t know if I have saved it because no such question popped up 🙂 🙂 🙂

     

I’ve stopped trying for the day so now I’ll go downstairs and have one of my newly baked rolls and then I’ll read a book 🙂 No tea now, I drank some too late yesterday and didn’t sleep much last night 🙂

     

Have a great day!

Low flying mist here and there on our walk.

     

Sometimes I wonder about Internet companies.

I now have a new tea cup or perhaps I should call it tea mug. They had two different colors on this specific mug, one leaning towards blue and one towards grey. I have a really good sense of color, I have after all been working with colors for well over 25 years and I could for my life not see any difference at all 🙂 🙂 🙂  I’ll see if I can find the receipt because for some reason the blue costed less 🙂 🙂 I do like it what ever color it has though 🙂

   

It’s easier to walk on the roads now 🙂

It has been rather warm today so the snow has melted away pretty much now and I doubt we’ll have much left tomorrow except for in the forest where there’s lots left. I have one pair of winter shoes that doesn’t let any water in if walking in puddles or like here where all roads now are covered in water but they are dangerous to walk where it is slippery, even though it said they were slip safe 🙂 🙂 I also have the dubbed shoes which are perfect to walk on ice but they tend to let water in, so I used those and we had our walk in the forest instead than to the creek, despite all snow which makes it hard to walk. Alma sort of behaved well today again so lots of treats to her and Malkolm of course whos only problem is that when he follows a track he doesn’t stop. He is fairly low and rather strong so if he turns in between trees somewhere I tend to follow if I’m not prepared 🙂

     

It went much smoother to install the computer than I thought it would so when we had come home after our walk I just had one thing to do, install the anti virus program. I gave up after an hour and unsubscribe to it 🙂 🙂 🙂 I can have up to six computers on the same subscription but there are no links to download it!!! I called my phone/ internet company but they couldn’t find any link either, the only thing they did was to send me a link, via text message that told me I just had to follow the link they had put in a mail to me, the problem is that only a new subscriber get that mail!!!! So I wonder why they can’t send me that mail? So when they asked for a review about how I think they handled the problem I answered, well lets say I don’t think they’ll ask me again to be a subscriber 🙂 🙂 🙂 So I have till the end of this month left of the old subscription and it’s on this old computer. I have found the best for Mac’s (according to Mac’s own paper/club? So I’ll check it out, it is also much cheaper than the one I have now 🙂

     

I also became pretty annoyed on Malkolm this morning. I still have an ordinary tv-antenna here and when I sat down to watch the morning news, someone had chewed off the cable not in one place but in two!!! For some reason Malkolm rushed upstairs as soon as I picked the pieces up from the floor 🙂 🙂 🙂 He has never done anything like this before so I was quite surprised.  No bigger problem I though I’ll just watch tv on the computer. Well now, turns out there isn’t any speaker in the Mac 🙂 🙂 🙂 so now I’ve ordered a new antenna cable because that was much cheaper to buy than any speakers 🙂 🙂 🙂 It’ll be here in a few days. Good thing I have a very weak one in the old computer 🙂 but that’s also the only luxury there is, no microphone and no camera but I do have a weak speaker 🙂 🙂 🙂

     

The swamp behind my garage is now the lake again 🙂 🙂 🙂

I don’t watch much on tv, I look at any history-, Science-, biathlon-and garden program and those are rare so I really don’t miss much until that cable arrives 🙂 I’ve already had that last cup of tea for the day so now I don’t know what to do 🙂 🙂 🙂

Have a great day!

I went out to throw garbage in the bin and thankfully had my phone with me, the sun was setting and now it’s almost as cold as it was early this morning.

I must admit that when I let the dogs outside early this morning I really didn’t think it felt especially cold at all, I followed them and filled the bird feeders while they did their thing. So the first thing I did when we came back in was to check the thermometer, it was -14 C (6,8 F) 🙂 :-)There was no wind and for once the humidity was rather low and that helped a lot to make it feel warmer of course.

     

We went out for our morning walk as soon as the temperature had risen to -9 C (15,8 F) and since would be walking down to the creek the sun would warm up the air quite fast when walking between the trees on the gravel road. Alma wouldn’t make our walk especially enjoyable today and she showed that as soon as we started to walk but I couldn’t figure out why, not until we came closer to the creek and I saw that the horse guy was working today. It is something with Alma and especially horses and the cattle in the neighbor pasture.

     

So she could smell them long before we even came close and no matter how fun it is to see those horses working I really would have preferred that they had stayed at home today 🙂 🙂 🙂 I guess he worked today because the storm is closing in and better be done before it arrives. It’ll be just wind this time and later on warm weather, so they guess at least, so no more snow thankfully 🙂 Perhaps one can hope for lots of snow melting as well so it will be easier to walk in the forest again. I feel however that will be too much to hope for 🙂 🙂

     

My cold is neither better nor worse, I cough sometimes but thankfully not at night, I freeze sometimes but not all the time and every now and again my nose is runny but nothing worse. Sara the monster kitten kept us awake for quite some time yesterday evening with lots of bumps in the night, except for that time when she broke my last tea cup. Lots of sharp pieces spread over the floor. She came running up and annoyed the dogs when she had done that. So now I had to find my thermos and make a big pot so I could use the small coffee cups I almost never use. I must remember to write down I need to buy a new one when I’m writing my shopping list.

     

I think it is time to have that last cup of tea for the day. I can’t remember if this particular thermos keeps the heat well though. I have one I couldn’t find today that keeps it for almost 24 hours, I’ll see if I can find it so I know the tea will be warm tomorrow morning 🙂

       

Have a great day!

I turned around after tossing the garbage in the bin and saw that it most likely is a full moon night.

She didn’t like cold snow towards her paws 🙂

I’m pretty sure I have a cold again. I was pretty sure yesterday as well but today I’ve been freezing like a dog on and off. Can’t say that I feel especially sick except for the muscle pain and the occasional moments of freezing. I did get a bit warm when we were out walking but that’s mostly because I’m not especially fit 🙂 🙂 The snow on the ground is still more like ice pebbles so not even my studded shoes get any grip in it, the dogs however have no such problems but they did at least not fall down again 🙂 🙂

     

We’ve had a really nice day here otherwise, a nasty wind has been blowing but the forest took all of it and we’ve also had a lovely sunshine all day as well. There were lots of animal tracks in the snow and it looked like lots of wild hogs had been moving around and also a few Roe deer. Plus our local fox, the one that has a tendency to poop on the stirs both at my cottage and my neighbors 🙂 The badgers are asleep now but they just sleep during winter, not hibernate, so we sometimes see their tracks as well in the snow.

The wind had been pretty hard, look at that bent Pine!

 

Sara the cat tries every now and again to run outside when she thinks I don’t see her and she is quick but a bit obvious so I have so far had control. She was close yesterday though so I picked her up and placed her on one of my composts. I could see that she was excited but also see that cold and wet snow isn’t a favourite of hers, she hasn’t tried to run outside after that 🙂 🙂 🙂

     

It’s time for that last cup of tea and perhaps a french roll with cheese and some kind of marmalade.

 

 

Have a great day!

Today there’s a mix of photos. The female woodpecker is hard to scare away from the feeder, the male one flees as soon as he see me 🙂

Not much to write about today, we did get some snow but just a dusting. Strong northern winds blowing though and freezing temperatures. I woke up having pain in every single muscle so since every walk with Alma is a struggle I decided to not have a walk today. The cold winds seems to have been why the dogs didn’t want to stay outdoors especially much either.

     

There are few directions from where the wind can reach the garden and today we had one of those. I have been pretty tired today because Alma had an extremely rare accident in the living room last night. She must have a really bad stomach for that to happen. I’ve always wondered why she never alerts me but realized this morning that she does but in a very quiet way. She stands quietly beside my bed staring at me until she can’t hold it any longer. Well it is good that she tries but if I’m asleep I really need a lot of more sound than that 🙂 🙂 🙂 She stood beside me again this morning, I tried to fake sleep because I had no wish what so ever to go up when I realized what she wanted.

     

We were in a hurry down and made it all the way out without any accident 🙂 I should have been more aware that this could happen since they are changing their food. They’ve had an insect based food for a while now and started to scratch themselves around the neck and ears. I’ve had allergic dogs here before so I realized that the only thing that had changed lately was the food. It’s too early to know for sure that it was the food but they haven’t scratched themselves since the new food arrived. It’s a good sign anyway.

     

It is time for that last cup of tea and then watch some tv. My favorite show is on tonight, it’s called (PÃ¥ spÃ¥ret) On the tracks and is a quiz show where two teams is going to guess what city (all over the world) they will end up at. In the beginning we watched views by seeing a film filmed on trains and get lots of really difficult clues, now days we also go by car. when they’ve reached the end of the trip follow questions comes. Plus now days even we viewers can guess on all questions via an app on our phones. There’s also two question about music where we hear an artist make their version of old songs and that’s the hardest ones in my opinion 🙂 🙂 🙂 I never remember what artist have done what even though I can the entire lyrics 🙂 🙂 🙂

One with old Nova 🙂

 

She has grown quite a lot since she came here 🙂

Have a great day!

I drove to the supermarket this morning. I started to drive when the ones going to work have passed already so just a few cars on the roads today and much the same on my way home. To my big surprise there weren’t especially many customers either. We to be honest there’s never much costumers on the times I’m doing my shopping but today there were even fewer. Perfect to be honest 🙂

These are from yesterday.

   

Yesterday was very different from today when it comes to the weather. Today we had sunshine and almost no winds, yesterday very windy and lots of snow falling, so I’ll show some of those photos today. Alma started out behaving well, she pulled the leash but was rather quiet for once, Malkolm however had decided that if she was pulling the leash so would he so I was quite grumpy when we reached the forest.

     

With all that rain that fell over the snow and then freezing temperatures and more snow on that it was like walking on tiny ice pebbles, sliding around a lot and impossible to get a grip in, despite that I wore studded shoes (was just the same today). We walked up a little slope when they both decided to surprise me with trying to run up, I got my feet stuck in the snow and of course fell like an old tree. Malkolm isn’t used to me scolding him really bad while Alma doesn’t really care about it 🙂 So I was so angry that I decided we would go back home.

So this is where I fell yesterday. Alma is thankfully very strong and big so I could use her as help to get up from the ground 🙂 🙂 🙂

So today when we were walking the same way Malkolm slowed down a lot 🙂 🙂 while Alma kept on like always. I didn’t fall this time though so we continued out towards the bog but there is just too much ice pebble snow out there now so we turned back homewards again. Still since the sun shone and the wind was absent we did have a rather nice walk after all. OK it did feel like we had walked a marathon when we came back home though 🙂 🙂 I must say though that even though Alma  didn’t behave her best she still almost didn’t whine at all 🙂

     

My entire body feels stiff and joint ache so I guess I might have a cold again, no fever though so perhaps it” stop with this. It’s always fun to have a mixed up immune system 🙂 🙂 🙂 Time for tea and a french roll and most likely fall asleep in front of the tv again 🙂

   

Have a great day!

I’m so glad that I decided to go to the supermarket yesterday instead of today, arriving a bit late the snowstorm still is bad. Despite that we have lots of snow now I doubt we’ll have much left on Wednesday because we’ll have above freezing temperatures and also lots of rain on the way.

The bird feeder is now even closer to the ground 🙂 It was even hard to fill it when it’s that close to the ground.

North eastern winds so the snow gets stuck in the lilacs and barely reaches the Pawpaws and Camellia.

A couple of hunters did actually come here today but I doubt that they even went out, these gusts and heavy snow on that makes it dangerous to walk around in the forest, so I guess that they sat in the hunting lodge, started a fire and perhaps grilled something over the open fire 🙂 When they finally drove away the weather was so bad that the dogs and I stayed at home, I hope we’ll get a chance tomorrow even though it looks like it’ll rain all day and night.

     

I slept rally bad last night and I did so mostly because the monster kitten now is able to almost jump up on tables and counters. Either she jumps straight in to things and while falling down to the floor she grabs everything in reach so it falls with her or if she’s successful she walks around pushing things down on the floor. We had lots of things going bump in the night here 🙂 🙂 🙂

       

It is time for that last cup of tea for the day and then I’ll most likely will fall asleep in the recliner 🙂

Have a great day!

After nasty cold comes snowstorm and then rain.

Since we never came out on any walks today the photos are either from my garden or older ones. This one is from this morning looking out over the cow pasture.

 

I can’t pretend to look forward to the coming snowstorm and the following warmer temperatures with what looks like lots of rain but it’s sure better than the -18 C (-0,4 F) we had this morning. It was so nasty cold that I was afraid the front doors lock had frozen like it did last winter when the temperature dropped to -22 C (-7,6 F) 🙂 🙂 🙂 I’ve hung drapes in front of the door to make sure all that cold air wouldn’t get indoors and it sure worked 🙂 🙂 🙂  Well it seems that it wasn’t cold enough last night 🙂

Somewhere in there is the bird feeder, I could reach it without drowning in snow 🙂

 

I had decided that it was better to go to the super market today, despite the low temperature instead of tomorrow, they are warning that if one doesn’t need to be driving tomorrow one should stay at home. I can say that my car wasn’t happy 🙂 It started without problems but it sure protested 🙂 The right front door was frozen solid, I tried to open it because I had the combines ice scraper and brush on that side. That gave me a problem when I arrived at the supermarket, the car refused to lock itself when I tried to. Turns out that I actually had managed to move the door just a tiny bit so that it couldn’t lock that door. So first I had to push all my weight towards it and then drag the door from the inside as much as I could until I finally could lock it 🙂 🙂 🙂

I need rainwater to most of my potted plants so I had to crush the ice to reach it 🙂
This is truly the test to see if the Camellias can survive here.

Not that I think it would have been stolen because we were just a few fools being outside at that time 🙂 🙂 🙂  I let the dogs out as soon as I was at home and it was so cold that Alma got foot cramps and wanted to go indoors. Yesterday Malkolm had another problem, tiny snowballs formed between his toes on both sides, over and under, that’s something I’ve never seen before. So I decided it was just too cold for them to have a walk, instead they’ve had the garden to roam in but they weren’t especially happy about being out there either. 

 

My neighbors huge Birches.

It has finally started to be less cold so the snowstorm is closing in, the snowing has already started but it’s a nice snowfall right now. I have a big bag with deer food that I need to get rid of, when an old neighbor lived here he always fed the deer on winters like this but when he moved no one else was interested in continuing that so I did instead, in my garden. I could have up to ten deer at a time eating that food and they never cared if my then dogs were outside at the same time, they knew them well since we often met on our walks. Orvar and Hector were their names and they never behaved like Alma 🙂 🙂 🙂 I wonder if I have any photos in one of the old computers, unfortunately I can’t remember the pass words 🙂 🙂 🙂 

   

So anyway I have this bag just waiting to be used so I’ve started to pour out some food outside my fence on the backside of the garden, there’s a high fence there so the deer never comes in to the garden any more but I can easily toss out food to them. Since the snow have kept on falling and the wind blowing I haven’t been able to see if any deer has been there but I have placed my wildlife camera so if I might have some photos of them. I’ll bring in the camera tomorrow.

   

Have a great day!

The temperature had dropped down to -15 C (5 F) during the night but when I had to clean the car from all snow, I think there was at least 30 cm (12 inches) of snow at the roof of the car it has become balmy -11 C (12,2 F) 🙂 🙂  It had helped a lot with the snow so the ice on the wind shields was very thin and easily removed thankfully.

You can always see where the wild hogs have been.

 

Almost no traffic on the road to the super market (one car far behind me  and two on the way back home 🙂 ) so I could take it slow . They had removed the snow really well though so I didn’t feel that it was especially slippery to drive. I realized that I had forgotten the list I wrote before leaving so I was guessing what it could have been what I wanted 🙂 🙂 I did need a small package of dog food just in case they’ll get problems delivering it the coming week because of the heavy snow fall we’ll have on Monday and then because higher temperatures and rain the days after.

     

So of course I returned with two bags of seeds for the birds, sometimes I do wonder about myself since I actually went there for the dog food and still missed to buy any 🙂 🙂 So I’ll have to go to the supermarket again tomorrow, normally I always drive early in the morning so there will be as few customers there as possible but they’re guessing it’ll be just as cold tomorrow morning so perhaps I’ll wait a bit longer 🙂

I was thinking of walking out on the peninsula but no way I’ll have us all covered in cold snow 🙂

The entire road in the forest looks like this. Wild hogs are good for nature but not for us trying to walk on the roads 🙂 🙂

We could almost see the sun when we went out for our morning walk and it looked like we would get a really nice walk but Alma had one of those days when nothing seemed to be good. It wasn’t until we were almost at home that she finally calmed down. As soon as we’re at home though she’s the best dog in the world. I think today she was stressed because wild hogs had been everywhere last night until this morning, they most likely only moved because we arrived.

   

I really don’t want to go to the supermarket tomorrow but it is after all better to drive when it is cold than if we’re having a snow storm or after when it’ll be warmer and most likely rain. Swedish winters are the best 🙂 🙂 🙂

 

Have a great day!

The wind did blow pretty hard when I woke up early this morning and it also snowed pretty much and towards my entrance door, so it looked like we had gotten much more snow than it actually was. Still around 20 cm (8 inches of the white garbage) in average I would say.

     

The wind did calm down to almost nothing just before we went out on our morning walk and after a while the sun also showed itself. We were lucky that the horse guy had arrived so we could walk in the tire tracks, light and fluffy snow like that is hard to walk in, one sort of slides back a bit with every step one takes 🙂 We never saw the horses though because they were in the forest working.

     

Thanks to the sun shining and no wind blowing the walk actually was really nice,  despite the deep fluffy snow and Almas’ constant whining. I’m never sure if she likes the horses or dislike them but when ever we see one or she can smell them she’s going rather annoying, lots of whining in a high pitched note that sorts of cuts the brain in to small pieces plus the pulling of the leash gets worse. No horse guy here tomorrow though so I’m pretty sure she’ll stay much calmer.

We all were covered in snow after walking down to the creek 🙂

   

I had planned on going to the super market today but I will not do that in a snow storm and we only had sunshine for a short while, then the clouds came back and with them more snow. Right now they are plowing the road again by the way. So I need to go either tomorrow or on Sunday, the problem is that it might be as cold as -13 C (8,6 F) and I’m not longing to get all snow of the car in those temperatures. I really don’t like winter.

     

It is time for that last cup of tea for the day and I’ll continue to read the book I’m reading. I’m slowly but steadily forcing my brain to start working again 🙂

     

Have a great day!

     

Winter is here and it will stay I’m afraid.

It rained almost all day yesterday but later the temperature dropped and the rain became snow. The dogs had so much fun in the snow, they had been bored all day because they didn’t want to go outside in the rain so when the snow started to fall they really enjoyed to run around 🙂

     

It didn’t feel that cold when I let them out in the morning but that was because we didn’t have any wind, it was nasty cold 🙂 So I filled the bird feeders before we went out on our morning walk. The horse guy came pretty early so we went out into the forest and out on the peninsula in the bog. The sun was shining but it was unusually quiet, normally sunny days in winter means lots of birds twitting but I only hear a few but the ravens could be heard flying above us. I do like ravens but I really don’t like how they hunt. it is a nasty way that they even use on calves here (I will not explain what they do because of its nastiness) , still they are so smart and they always fly around playing up in the air on stormy days.

It’s almost always completely dry beneath the branches on a spruce so it’s a good place for animals to stay on rainy and snowy days. We used to have a huge spruce not far from the village where I and the dogs could take cover when we were surprised by heavy showers or hail. Just a few drops would reach us.

 

I haven’t had a raven as pet but a European Jackdaw, a small cousin who are very intelligent as well and the most fun bird there is. Now that happened before it became illegal to have them as pets and this one had a broken wing that never healed the way it should have, so he couldn’t fly. So instead he lived with me and the pets I had back then 🙂 Two dogs and a rat called Hamlet 🙂 Anyway, the walk was really nice especially since we had sunshine all day.

     

We had been at home for a while when the dogs suddenly wanted to go outside again and since it was so nice in the sunshine I followed them. Turns out that my neighbor and her children were in their garden so the dogs jumped over the fence and played with the children 🙂 It has been a while since I saw the dogs so happy 🙂 It felt much colder staying still in the garden though so we had to go indoors. Yes I could have let the dogs stay outside but Malkolm has a tendency to walk around and suddenly he walks away towards the forest or the big swamp/ little lake behind the garage and then one never know where he ends up 🙂 🙂

     

They’re guessing we’ll have lots of sunshine tomorrow as well and I do hope the horse guy is elsewhere tomorrow or arrives late because it would be nice to be able to walk down by the creek and/or in the older forest. Well I think that perhaps the water has frozen enough so we can walk out to the island in the bog, it isn’t nice to sink down half a meter /yard in half frozen mud 🙂 🙂

     

Have a great day!

     

I wish You all a good ending of this year and a good new year!

Looking out over the field towards a neighbor cottage.

So this year is coming to an end and I can’t say I’ll miss it much 🙂 Well finding the little monster kitten Sara was a good thing but the rest has been crappy to be honest 🙂 🙂 and getting Malkolm here was definitely a good thing as well! I forgot that he hasn’t been here a year yet 🙂

     

Early in the year I was told by my optician that I have the beginning of cataract in my right eye, it could develop really fast but it could also stay this way for a really long time, I must admit that I haven’t noticed anything so I guess this is the kind that will move really slowly and I feel that that’s a good thing. Summer was a bit crappy with all that rain and very little sunshine though.

     

Then I had to quit my job because I couldn’t work from 4:25 pm to 3:00 am but just before that I had a Kidney stone. Now I’ve realized that it was most likely not the kidney stone that created all that pain because the spot where the pain came from wasn’t especially close to the kidneys 🙂 🙂 Just as I got that stone I must have entered a period when my rheumatism also hit as hard as it could 🙂 🙂 🙂 I did however have stone because they found it when they x-rayed me. It was when they x-rayed me again when they found a small growth on one of my kidneys and of course that was a tumor.

     

However it was so small yet that they couldn’t take a biopsy from it because they would then likely hit my kidney instead and the doctor said that if we do that it’ll never stop bleeding, so next spring I’ll do another x-ray so they can see if it has grown so that finally can take a biopsy from it. They need to so that know if it is, which they thing, is cancer or something else. She did say that the prognosis is the best one can have because they are aware of it and can start treatment as soon as they know what it is so I guess that pain and following x-rays were sort of good after all 🙂 🙂 🙂

     

So all I do right now is to hope for very little snow, it is snowing right now but it’ll melt away tomorrow when it will rain all day just to get cold again to get more snow that will melt away and then it will get really cold again 🙂 🙂 I’m so glad I have studded shoes 🙂 I hope we’ll get an early and warm spring and why not a job soon as well. Still I have really nice days now when I can get daylight every day, spend lots of time with the dogs and cats so who am I to complain too much 🙂 🙂 🙂 Plus I’ve baked french rolls again and at the moment I’m making rice porridge and what’s left tomorrow I’ll make Risalamande or as we call it here Ris à la Malta. Rice porridge whipped together with whipped cream, normally one use orange slices to mix in but I’ll use the berries I picked this summer and perhaps slice down some plums in it as well 🙂

       

So now I wish You all a Good Ending of this Year and a Good New Year as well!
