The wild hogs comes closer and closer.

-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.

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 […]

I couldn’t put it off any longer.

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.

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 :-)

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 […]

Β  Another really nice morning, chilly but sunny and no wind. The wind will arrive a bit later and with it it will bring clouds and perhaps some rain as well. Works good for me since I’m planning to sow winter lettuce. It can’t germinate when it is warm weather and can live long in […]

Spring is sprung.

Still rather cold nights but after follows sunny and spring warm days. It was supposed to be windy all day but it seems the wind lost its breath after noon, so both me and my neighbours have been outside in the garden today and when my neighbours are outside none of the dogs can hear […]

Cranes.

I wasn’t going to post anything today since very little was supposed to happen but then I needed to go to the supermarket to do some shopping.Β  We did have our morning walk before I left though and it was a really nice walk. Just above 0C (32F), no wind and sunshine so it warmed […]

A day outside for the monsterkitten.

We’re having a really nice day here, a bit frosty in the morning but temperatures rose when the sun did. So today we’ve had 11C (51,8F) πŸ™‚ There is a wind blowing but it isn’t that cold and like most days it can’t reach my garden. We walked down to the creek and I must […]
