Friday March 30th

Yesterday afternoon, our nice spring weather disappeared. Today we have had both sunny weather, cloudy, hail and snow. But, fortunately, there are no snow on the ground. It has all melted away again.

Today we all started our easter holiday. We are not going to work for 10 days. I am looking forward to having time off, for so many days.

I will probably be working in our garden, some of the time, if the weather gets better again.  Today we have bought bricks to our small stone wall. I am not sure if I will get this stone wall as I hope, but I will post photos of it, no matter how it gets.

 

 

Wednesday March 28th

Another lovely day is soon over. After work today, we have been out in our garden, finishing the "dog yard". We also got a load of topsoil, delivered by a lorry. Charles put the topsoil on the lawn, by means of his tractor, by the entrance of our house, where the lawn was very uneven and bad. When we are sure that there will be no more frost, we will sow grass, to get a new lawn, there.

Last fall I dug som plants down in our lawn on the other side of the house, to take better care of them than to put them into pots and boxes. I have a photo of the house, with the two "holes" in the lawn, with stones around, down at this page. I have planned to expand these two "flowerbeds" into just one big flowerbed, and to remove most of the stones, and to make a small stone wall, in front of the flowerbed. Today I have tryed to dig up grass and weed, where I want the small stone wall. I know exactly how I want this to look like, but I am not sure if I am able to make it this way. But, I must just try, and than we will see if I succeed in getting it like I want it to be.

I have created a page that shows our changes in our garden, here.

 

 

Thuesday March 27th

We are still having the wonderful spring weather that we had last weekend.

Yesterday we got an organ. We noticed an advertisement, that someone wanted to give away an organ, for free. We were lucky to get it!

Both yesterday and today, after work, we have been outdoors in our garden the whole afternoon. But as soon as the sun goes down, it turns pretty cold. (The sun goes down a few minutes before 8 PM, now. I have finished the "spring cleaning" in all our flowerbeds. Now I only have the flower pots left.

Today we have bought a "dog yard" for Chico. (A sort of fence, so he will not have to have his shackle on, when he is out in our garden.) We have been putting it up this afternoon, but we did not finish. Charles had to go to a meeting. We will finish tomorrow.

I have also painted around our front door this afternoon. I did not manage to finish painting around all our windows and our front door, last fall, so today I started with our front door. This is not something that I enjoy doing, but it has to be done.

 

 

Sunday morning, March 25th

Also today, we woke up to a wonderful spring weather. It was 11 degreez Celcius, when we got out of our bed.

Saturday March 24th

Today we have had a lovely spring weather: Mild and nice, with sun all day. We have been outdoors, working in our garden the whole day. Charles and a friend, and Joakim too, has made a parking lot in our garden. I have posted 3 photos of this, here.

While "the boys" made the parking lot, by means of a couple of tractors, I have taken away withered plants, and put new soil in 3 flowerbeds and 1 flower case. It was very nice to start with this relaxing garden work again. I still have two flowerbeds left, and lots of cases and pots. I probably will continue working with this tomorrow, if the weather stays nice.

 

I am dancing a lot, these days: At Thursday, I danced for two hours, like I use to do at Thursdays. At Friday, I went to a dancing course, and tonight we are going on a party, together with all the people who uses to come to the dancing evenings at Thursdays. The dancing club is celebrating it's 10th anniversary this year, and we are having a dancing party to celebrate it, tonight.

 

 

Thuesday March 20th

This morning, when I was going to let Chico get out, I got a big surprise when I opened the front door: Two elks (or mooses) was standing on our lawn! The elks saw us, and ran away. I was shaky for a long time after this, but at the same time, I think it's a bit fun too. I sneaked out, when they had gotten far off, and took a picture of one of the elks. Actually the elks was a bit too far off. I did not get a good picture of them, when they was too far off. :o)

 

We have a lovely spring weather nowdays. But it's a bit cold. 2-3 Celcius below zero in the morning.

Tomorrow it's vernal equinox. This is the time in the spring when the day and night are of equal length.

Sunday March 18th

Joakim and I vere outdoors for 3 hours this morning, cleaning up outside our house. I have also put 15 tulip bulbs into this case:

I am exited to see if there will be any tulips here. I am not sure if I have done this too early. It's only 1-2 degreez Celsius here. But, now it's done. We will just have to wait and see.

I have also sowed Lobelia today. But the Lobelia seeds will be keept indoors, until we are sure that there will be no more cold and snow. I have never tryed to sow before, so it will be exiting to see if there will be any flowers out of the seeds.

 

 

Saturday March 17th

Today it's raining, and sleeting, here. No nice Spring weather. But, we gets some hope that there will be Spring soon, when we take a look in the flower beds:

 

This weekend there is a trade fair, here. Charles is working there, as a watch. Joakim is there too, together with Charles. Cecilie is having a friend on wisit. She has stayed overnight. They have been singing at Cecilies SingStar, and having a cozy time. Later in this morning, I am going to drive them to the town.

I have a lot of housework waiting, but I will have a moment at my computer before I do the housework.

These cute Mini Narcisses is standing in our kitchen window:

 

Later this morning it stopped raining, and the sun came. :o)

I went out, in the nice weather, to clean up in our garden and front yard. Charles and Joakim helped me, when they came home. Se photos here.

Cecilie went together with her friend, this afternoon. She is going to stay overnight to her this night.

 

 

Wednesday March 14th

Today we heard a bird called "Tjeld", for the first time this year.

My work is by the ocean, and we heard the Tjeld outside our windows at work, this morning.

I am so happy that I have this wonderful view from my windows at work:

Today it's wednesday, and I have been working out, at our training room at work.

Wednesday is also Cecilies day at the riding course, so she has been riding today.

During the past few days, we have had a lot of rain and wind. All the snow hss melted away. I really hope that there will be no more snow, and that the Spring will be warm and nice.
