Yesterday I had problems getting the heat from the kitchen stowe up to the second floor. Well I can say that when the heat finally came, it came strongly :-) It was so warm in the bedroom that I and my dogs had trouble sleeping :-) My cats liked it though.

Catalpas is from Norten America. The climat in Sweden makes it hard for them to survive here, but this one is a dwarf variaty that is so much tuffer. Has no scientiffic name unfortimally. It grows in my garden and have survived really cold weather here. Wont get any higher than three meters.

A Dicentra spectabilis. It´s called leutenats hart in swedish.

They told us on the news today that people where crying at Volvo when they heard that their jobs are dissapering. I feel so sad for them. It´s not only a big loss in income for them, it´s the social bit too. To be honest, most of our lives awake is where we work. Perhaps they don´t have any friends oustide work either? Lets hope times will turn soon!


Ariseame amurense. The hardiest of them all in that family.

Anemone blanda. Comes from southern Europe and flowers in spring.

They say that the comming three months is going to be the warmest since they started measure the weather. They also say that the summer also is going to be really warm this year. A neighbour and I share a deep drilled well, so we wont get any problems with water, But some other neighbours don´t have that so they will probably get problems then. Last summer werer really warm and their wells almost dried out. Of course we´ll share our water with them, but it´s troublesom for them anyway. How do one fill a washingnashine from a bucket? But no idea to worry now, they have had wrong before when they have predicted the weather. Sometimes they can´t even predict the weather one hour before it comes :-)
Be good!

Anemone ranunculoides. Grows in all of Europe exept northern parts in Skandinavia. Think One can call it Yellow wooden anemone in english.
