The Cottage by the crane lake. We weren’t supposed to have any sunshine today and in a way they were right, the sky was covered in clouds all day but they were so thin that the sunshine broke through without any pro…

Another warm day and wind free as well :-) It was cloudy but so thin clouds that the sun shone through 😁

Cold nights. We’ve now had two really nice days, yesterday no wind at all and today a weak but a bit chilly one but it did cool down some while being in the sunshine for a while. Nights however hav…

Not much happening here unlike in other parts of the world and that's just how I want it to be.

Sunshine all day but northern winds. The storm is over but it took its time, it was really windy almost all day yesterday but the worst gusts had at least passed by. Over 30 000 households lost power and trees fell all over the…

Sunshine all day but a northern wind did its best to destroy the day.

We did at least not get the snow. The morning was anything but nice here, very windy and the wind was chilling col plus some drizzle mixed in but I see us as the lucky ones because an area south of us had snow. Not that the …

Nasty morning but the afternoon turned out to be rather nice.

Chilly nights. We’ve had two really nice days here, mostly sunny and up to 13C (55,4F). We did have a chilly wind yesterday but as usually it didn’t reach my garden :-) Nights have been cold th…

We've had cold nights but really nice days here. They're saying it'll change from tomorrow so I've enjoyed this as much as I can 😁

It’s warm outside but feels cold. A Hazel in bloom always mean a stuffed nose for me :-) Nothing much is happening here at the moment, the weather change fast but that’s it :-) Nothing dramatic with the weather either to be h…

It had been rather nice if it hadn't been for the wind, it is biting cold and chills down the entire area.

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.

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…

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

More snow but it’s melting away :-) It has been slightly less cold today than they guessed it would be 3C (37,4F) but the three to four inch of new snow we had last night melts away a bit too slowly for my taste. I must admit …

Lots of snow fell during the night but it is melting away so I forgive it 😀

A very polite hunting dog :-) Today would have been so great if it hadn’t been for the biting cold eastern wind. The sun has been shining all day and if the wind has been coming from almost any other direction my g…

Today we met a very polite hunting dog that was more interested in Alma than in any kind of hunting 😀
