I actually did something today :-)

The daylight show earlier every day now, this is around 6:10 am.

The morning was cold sunny and wind free so I couldn’t but enjoy our walk.  Birds was singing and now they’ve started with their spring tunes. I do wish I could say that spring already is here but it is way to early even for an early spring We haven’t even left February behind us yet. But still the signs are there all over southern Sweden, snowdrops, crocuses and tulips are already showing above the ground now. Even my tree peony has started to open up its leaf buds now.

 

The sun itself showed up at 7:10 am.

 

 

 

 

 

I’ve actually done something today outside the village An old friend and I had decided we should meet since it was way to long since we last met. We were supposed to do it yesterday but I felt that the cold I’m having was a bit to active and made me way to tired to drive anywhere. So I called this morning and told them they had to decide if we should meet since my throat was sour, my nose running  (but no fever) and I might be contagious. No cold scared them though So off I went to the village I once had my garden centre in.

 

 

 

 

 

 

On my way home I decided that my dogs and I should take a walk in my old neighborhood. I didn’t want to go to the cottage since it lives people there now, but back in the days when I lived there I could see the cottage from several other places. Not any more though. It is amazing how much trees grow sometimes The bog I used to walk across to come to the pond we went to today was now filled with willows and the spruces that grow by the gardens edges were now so high nothing could be seen behind them

 

 

 

 

 

 

But the walk was nice anyway and my dogs just loved to walk around in a new place. Orvar and Hector has been there before but it was so long ago that I doubt they remember it. I had planned to take some photographs of the castle there when we passed it but the wind had started to blow and it just got to cold to go out into it.

 

Jackdaws. Now is the time to have a fire burning in the stove as much as is possible. They love to build nests in chimneys. Even if we have a net over the opening that doesn't mean that won't put down sticks and lots of them My favorite birds

 

 

 

There is a nature path I liked to walk when I lived in my former home. I was probably the only one walking there back then and it didn't look as if many walked there now either. I did have some problems finding it at first

 

My favorite tree is dying. One of the stems died when I lived there and now the second one is too.

 

Both headlights on my car had broken so I had to drive to a petrol station too on my way home. It is amazing how difficult it is to swap those!!!! I know my car is small but really! Couldn’t they have made just a tiny bit more space around the back of the headlights??? I have small hands and should be able to reach anywhere in my car but no, I had to work with my fingertips only. The first one only took me around ten minutes to change The second one took me around half an hour  :-) I do hope these will last for several years

 

The old stone circle.

 

They never remove a tree that has fallen in here.

 

My old pond. Well it never was mine but I was the only one going there.

 

It's like walking in a tunnel here during summer.

 

Walking back to the car.

 

So now I’m finally at home again, a pot of tea is by my side and soon I’ll make something to eat. I’m to tired to do anything after this light changing so I think I’ll watch tv for the rest of the day, doesn’t matter that they only show crap today

Have a great day!
