It was a beautiful morning that I met when I got up.

I was totally alone on the roads this morning, not a car or animal to be seen(not even a bird in sight). Not until I came to just before Kvänum, the little village I work in, could I see that there were more people awake. A farmer was out sowing on his fields. I usually come to work a bit early, because I like to get a cup of coffee (I´m not sure it´s right to call it that, but it´s brown and smells like it :-), but the taste HUH!) before I start to work. Now when I´m all alone in the factory it´s even nicer. It´s all quiet and nobody disturbes me by being nice and friendly :-) I want to sit in my own thoughts when I get that first cup for the day :-)

The sun started to rise around quater to six.

We have a nest with Ring necked doves just beside where I work on weekends. As long as I´m sitting in an electric forklift it doesn´t care, but if I come by feet it gets stressed and flies away. I really don´t want the eggs to get to cold, so if I have to go near the nest I always use the forklift even if it is just to fetch something small. It´s not disturbed even if I have to use the diesel forklift, only if it sees a human.

Svalörten, The Lesser Celandine has started to flower out in the forest. This is seen upon as a terrible weed. It has a tendensy to spread on hugh areas in a short time. But whithout pushing anything else out from its place. I´ve tried to get it in to my garden and has a few plants that absolutely refuses to spread at all :-)

The weather looked really promising this morning, but changed rather fast. The winds started to blow and they were really cold. My dogs seemed to like it, but I lost the feeling in my fingers when I had to drive around in the forklift. But as soon as I drowe home the sun started to shine and the winds slowed down a bit :-) Now it´s quite nice outside again.

Vårlöken, The Spring onion has started to bloom in my garden. It too has a rumor of spreading like a forest fire in late summer, but not here :-)

My white Backsippa, the Pasqueflower is almost in bloom now.

A Primula vulgaris hybrid. These primulas like our klimat and with a bit of luck they spread gently in the garden.

Tomorrow I´m going to x-ray my hips and let us all hope my left hip is so bad that they decide to fix it. I´m getting a bit bored not to be able to go around in the forest as I like any more. The smallest debree from the thinning of the forest makes it hard for me to walk there. I always get my foot stuck in something and I fall like a tree in a storm :-) Now it´s time for a cup of coffee I think and then just relaxing :-)
Be good!

The cowslip grows both in the garden and in the wild here.
