It got even colder today. Minus thirteen while I and the dogs took our morningwalk. But the sun shined and the wind weren´t there at all. I wondered for a long time why there were so much trafick today, the noice from the bigger raods were quit loud, but then I remembered that it´s Monday today :-) My first week of vacation has ended and the second has started.

The pictures today is from all dog walks I and my dogs took this day. This is around eight in the morning. The sun is not up yet and it´s minus thirteen degrees outside.

In one part of my cottage there´s only one glass windows, so I have to put in extra glass in wintertime. Sometimes there´s a little bit of water on the glass and it freezes cold days.

In Sweden if one worked at the same place for one year (or more ofcourse), one get five weeks of paid vacation. Everyone have that by law. But this Christmasvacation we have worked in kompensation time the whole year. So I still have five weeks in the summer to look forward to :-) This perhaps sounds much for You in other countries, but on the other hand we have almost no other holidays. At autumn there´s none at all and in springtime we have easter and a few other one day holidays.

I love the contrast between the dark spruces and by frost white coloured birches.

A crabappletree shadows the dogyard summertime. It gives loads of apples and unfortunally my dogs loves them. They do get a lot of gases in the stomac and guess how it smelles in my home then :-)

It´s arond 2:30 pm and the sun is going down. It will still be light outside at least untill 4:00pm.

Now it´s dark outside and I think that I´ll spend the evening reading little in some of my gardeningbooks. I´ve read them all before but some of the I can read on and on without getting bored at them.
Be good!

And so I say goood night.
