A grumpy old Swede.

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 😀

No and not even Norway who is in charge of the peace prize. No chance in h--l the orange blob will get it for so many reasons but the prize is really for what has been done mostly last year to be honest so who cares about what a spectre wants 😀

I like it a lot!

To be honest I thought that she perhaps had heard someone walking by on the road :-)

The Cottage by the crane lake. Very calm day in all aspects. No wind, no rain and no sunshine and The dogs and I didn’t do anything special either. I have baked a bread though and the cottage smells really nice. I was watc…

Slow day.

Happy Birthday 🎉

I guess it is, I see it all the time so I don 't notice now days.

The Cottage by the crane lake. For a while in the early morning it looked like we were going to have sunshine while we were out walking and we did for around twenty seconds :-) Then the rain arrived, no heavy showers but either …

It is really nice when the sun shines but mostly we've had rain.

The calm after the storm.
To be honest it has rained most of the day and it is still quite windy but the sun shines so it's rather nice in the garden 🙂

Much better than I thought as well 😀

Finally the storm has passed, it’s still raining though. Just a short one today. The greenhouse still stands, I went out several times to check how the anchors and pegs were holding up and they show no signs of even moving the slightest. The only thing t…

It's calming down outside. The gusts were just as bad as I thought they would be but the greenhouse is still standing 😀

She isn't a big fan om storms and strong winds. Nicer to stay at home sleeping while the winds blow hard.

The sky is amazing right now but rain is on the way so it'll be gone in minuter.

Thank You for reposting 😁

I thougt nature would have a problem making the sky even more beautiful and dramatic but it proved me wrong 🙂
#sunrise

Sun i slowly rising. The storm is here but the worst gusts will be here in a couple of hours and stay until 2pm, after that it'll finally start to calm down.

The hardy hibiskus gave me one more flower despite i just dug it up from the ground.

I guess so 🙂

Now I’m waiting for the storm to arrive. Sunny and nice morning again today but after that a chilly wind has arrived and I guess it’s the same we’ll have tomorrow but then with storm strength in the gusts. I’ve now done …

I've done what I can to secure the greenhouse for the storm tomorrow and all I can do now is to hope for the best 😀

I am too 🙂
She's been outside all day but now sleeps on the sofa and by the looks of it she'll stay there all night 😁

Thank You 😊

Cold night again. -2C (28,4F) this morning and a wonderful morning mist bordering to almost thick fog. The sun rose and we did have a rather nice walk, the only thing that disturbed was that my hands became just as …

Sunny and nice, cloudy and cold and unfortunately mostly cloudy and cold.

She went indoors, ate a lot and then wanted to go outside again but I refused to open the door :-) :-) She was grumpy for quite some time after that 😀😀😀

At home and not to eager to go outside in the cold morning.
#monsterkitten

She just walzed in like nothing unusual had happened 😄
She will not be allowed to go outside again tonight 😁

I was a bit stressed today and the wolves have returned they say. Really nice day, weather-wise that is, cold in the morning but we’ve had sunshine all day so even if the temperature didn’t sky rocket it still was very pleasant in the garden. What did…

Today I've been a bit stressed, the phone started behaving as it wished and the monsterkitten hasn't been at home today. Wolves are back again and I really don't worry about them but I do hope the monster comes back.

Sunset and it's actually warmer now than it has been all day.
Nice to have a view from the garden agsin but it won't last for long if the English walnut starts to grow 🙂

The Cottage by the crane lake. Today is slightly less painful so we went out on our morning walk out to the bog this time. A bit chilly but the sun shone and no winds blowing so it was quite pleasant and even Alma stayed really …

The day started nice but now the sun is gone and winds cold.

I tend to put things where I know I'll find them again and then never do 😀😀😀

I know I shouldn't use Amazon but this time it was the only place that sold these and I couldn't even find anything close to it elsewhere. I do hope I won't have to use them again.

The thing is with my rheumatism it's better if I move around but sometimes it's just too much.

It'll take a while but I hope it's better enough so I can walk around tomorrow, I need groceries 😀😀😀
