A grumpy old Swede.

Another day with sunshine and it will almost reach 10C (50F).

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 😀😀😀

We're a bit ahead so I'll answer with good afternoon 😁

Another nice morning, cold but the sun is rising and soon it'll spring warm again.

I'm do sorry!

I had so many photos today but couln't get them all in the blog 😄

The Cottage by the crane lake. A really nice day here. Started a bit chilly but we had no wind to talk about and we had the sun shining almost the entire day. I was checking if the peonies were showing yet and they are an…

Another really nice day so I have now pronounced that spring officially has arrived :-)

The sun has set and the night is slowly taking over.

The first rhubarbs to show 😁

A bit chilly this morning, -4C (34.8F). No wind though and the sun is just about to wake up.

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 😀

I guess so but neither the dogs or I have ever felt them 😀

We might reach 50 tomorrow 😄

And beyond 😄😄

On the look out.

Cranes are trumpeting, a bit chilly but wind free morning. It sure does feel as if spring has arrived.

Beautiful!

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.

Well he's handsome so of course he did 😀

or like with the monster, run away faster than lightning 😀

It is should I wear a winter jacket or the anorak weather this morning and lots of fog 😁

I do and I'm losing 😀

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…

The first Crane has arrived, I haven't seen it but I did hear the first goose flying by 😀

Takes too long to put on 😄😄😄

Every winter 😄😄😄

Not so easy to pass my gate today. There's a smal lake at my gate. 10 cm (4 inch) deep and stretches 1 meter(much the same as a yard) in to my garden and as wide as the path. Also the gate is frozen in to the ice so I can barely open it 😄😄
It was really fun to try to get grocery bags through it 😄😄😄

Well over freezing temperatures and snow now melting to become ice instead. Misty rain at the moment and it'll rain all day 😀 it feels like it is going the right way 😁

I'll wait until tomorrow whe it will be even warmer 😄

A bit grey and dull but warmer than expected and some drizzle passning by.

😀😀😀 I meant to write Cherry tree 😀😀😀
