  • Now I know the lawn mower works.

    April 11, 2025

    We woke up really early today, at 4:10 am. It was already quite bright outside even if the sun wouldn’t rise for another two hours. We went out for our morning walk as soon as the sun started to rise above the horizon and as soon as we stepped outside the clouds arrived and no…

    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…

  • I got it :-)

    April 8, 2025

    The sun is shining outside my window. It should have showed earlier but I guess one should be happy for what one get. Still 10C (50F) during the day isn’t that bad but the dogs wanted to go indoors pretty quickly after we had gone outside. My new neighbours have two roosters and I think…

  • The wild hogs comes closer and closer.

    April 6, 2025

    -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.

    April 3, 2025

    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…

  • The first butterflies and being lost in FalkΓΆping :-) :-) :-)

    April 1, 2025

    Β  -5C (23F) here this morning, it wasn’t especially nice at all πŸ™‚ But the sun did show itself and as soon as it did it became rather warm. We walked down to the creek and everywhere the sun hadn’t reached yet was covered in white frost. I only worse a thin anorak but it…

  • I couldn’t put it off any longer.

    March 31, 2025

    It was pretty chilly this morning and the sky was covered with dark grey clouds and it looked like the ground was covered in a fine fog. I didn’t want to got outside if it was cold so our morning walk was delayed for quite some time. It wasn’t that much warmer when we finally…

  • They say it’ll rain tomorrow.

    March 29, 2025

    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 :-)

    March 28, 2025

    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…
