A storm is passing by. A storm will pass tonight, well it is actually already here but the gusts will be as strongest around midnight. It is roaring through the forest and it is almost so loud that it is hard to h…

The wind is roaring outside, the dogs are sleeping in my bed and I'm about to make some rose-hip soup.

The nice weather just keep going on :-) We’re having a really nice day here, cold in the morning but the sun has shined all day so the temperature rose rather rapidly, not quite 10C (50F) but close enough. The sun is still n…

Another nice day 😁
I don't know why but the top photo seems to be way too big when looking at the blog in the phone. I did manage to make it smaller once but have no memory of what I did 😀😀😀

Rather nice weather. We’ve had a rather varied weather today, grey and dull, sunshine, rain and misty rain but who cares when it is getting warmer :-) Geese are passing by, I heard the Blackbird sin…

It is too early to say spring has arrived but it sure feels that way 😀

Fog and rain. I woke up to a very foggy morning and I liked it :-) As You all know by now fog is one of my favourite weathers :-)  I think it had rained during the night because there’s almost no sn…

Fog and rain and for once I like the rain since it will help the ground to thaw up.

Just a bit of ice left :-) The warmer weather is really nice now and almost all snow and ice are gone, except for where my gate is :-) The water level is much lower today but it is still a bit tricky to pass and at th…

They are not the most courageous :-) So yesterday after it had gone dark I found another little mouse in the box trap. I thought I really couldn’t leave it there all night so I took the trap and started to walk towards the fores…

Well now I know those dogs wouldn't help me at all if something bad happened 😀😀😀

It continues to stay warmish :-) The days have been warmish now with a bit of sunshine yesterday but with mostly drizzle today. Not cold enough to feel that it’s ok staying indoors all day but not warm enough to actually wan…

I've noticed that I can take muddy floors as long as it isn't cold outside 😀 Today I dragged out an old fridge I mostly have used as a storage place and it was really dusty 😀

Finally warmer again and it will stay for a while 😀

I already have too many seeds for next year :-) It is raining, sort of a nice spring rain. Ok I know it’s autumn but that’s the feeling I get when being outside and not even the dogs seems to dislike it. We walked down to the creek t…

Well a typical rainy autumn day. Little rain and sort of warmish. This time of year I start buying seeds no matter how much I already have 😀

The pain is rather bad today but since the greenhouse now is finished it sort of feels good anyway 😀

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,…

The weather could have been funnier but the snow is melting away and that makes me happy 😊

The Cottage by the crane lake. I saw the sunrise from my kitchen window before going out on our morning walk but by the time we came out the sky was covered in an evenly grey cloud cover. Still the day felt brighter than the oth…

I did see the sun for a few minutes when it rose 😄 After that it has been gone all day. and my computer is acting strange.

Warmish. It’s quiet in my cottage, the dogs and kitten are sleeping and even though the tv is on downstairs I can’t hear it. We went out to the bog this morning and I tried something old with Al…

I've picked up more walnuts from the ground 🙂and there are several more hanging up in the tree. I never thought it would survive here but climate change has helped me I think.

They moved the cattle. Morning mist, then sunshine quickly vaporize it for thick fog to roll in and stay for quite some time just to be replaced by warmish weather and lots of sunshine. I was surprised when the thick fog…

Lucky with the weather again and if they removed all the cattle from the big pasture we might have a walk there tomorrow.
