This is how it looked on the sky when I got up this morning, but the sun was dark red. The camera wasn´t successful in capturing that unfortunally. Today the sun got up at 5:28am and goes down 8:41 pm.

I did get a lot to do at work today. The owner came by with a piece of his birthday cake, because all the others got yesterday when he had his birthday. But it has been a wonderful day. The sun shines and we got up to 21c (70F) degrees :-) I could take a lot of small breaks when the paint dried, so I and my dogs walked around the area by the factory. There is a lot of grass and trees there that they could sniff around at :-)

It was frost and a mist laid over the fields.

The buds on my nectarine is slowly opening. Can You see the light pink? That´s the petals. Now I have to protect them from the frost we have here every night. I really want a nectarine or two this year :-)

Yesterday when I was out walking, a little aeroplane flew over me. Nothing strange about that, we have a little airfield in the town. But suddenly it sounded a bit strange, like it speeded up very much. I turned around because I thought it was going to crash, But no, it started to do loops and other fun things :-) Sometimes it just flew straight up in the air until it didn´t make it any more and then it fell. It was really fun to watch and the pilot kept on for almost half an hour. I´ve heard that sound before but never been able to see the plane, but now I´m going to look after it every time I hears it again :-)

The leafs on the birches has started to come now.

But down by the creek it´s a bit colder I think, so not a leaf were in sight.




When I mowed here I stayed up late one night and then heard the most peculiar sound. It sounded like a goat making its sound, but in a tin can and even more strange, up in the air? I asked friends that knows more about nature than I do, but no one had ever heard a goat in a tin can up in the air. I knew that there were no goats in the village and if there been one I doubt that it could fly. But I could hear this goat every night for a whole week, then it dissapered. Next spring it happened again. I could clerly here a goat in the air. I stayed up late every night looking at the sky for that goat. Why did it sound like it stood in a tin can? and why on earth did it sound as it was flying? The third year I started to ask people on the internet and then someone answered, It´s a “Heavens goat” or more commonly called a “Common snipe” (Enkelbeckasin in swedish). This bird makes this noice when it is flying and then falls rather fast downwards in the air. The feathers then starts to vibrate and the sound is made :-) :-) :-)
Have a great day now, I´m going to!

I haven´t heard a frog this year, but this is proof that they still are here :-)

The maples are in bloom. This is as colourful a wild swedish tree gets, exept for the appleblossoms, cherry blossoms and the white flowers on the sorbuses. We really don´t have any flashy flowers on our wild trees.

Three years ago there weren´t any Wood anemones here at all, now they have started to fill the area like a white carpet.
