April 2008:

This has been the hottest day so far, this year. The first day withour a jacket. We have been out in our garden, the entire day.

This morning Charles and I went shopping. We bought a new chair for our livingroom. The old one was damaged. The old one was a cheap chair. But we could not afford to buy an expencive one, so we bought another, new cheap chair. Actually, this new chair was very good to sit in.

We also bought some of the ingredients for our confirmation dinner, and then we bought lots for flowers for our garden. We want the garden to look nice for the confirmation too.

We used the whole day, organizing the new flowers, and tidying outside our house. We have had a wonderful day.

Yesterday I did not go to the dancing, like I use to at Thursday's. Instead I stayed at home and baked rolls. I also painted the foundation wall on our outhouse, and raked the lawn, but our lawn is very big, so I did not manage to do the whole lawn. I had to continue with this today. I have been outdoors this entire afternoon, but now I have finished raking the lawn.

Yesterday I also helped Joakim with painting the new fence that he and Charles put up, the other day, while Cecilie painted the foundation wall on one of the walls on our house.

We have sold our caravan. Charles is going to deliver it to the man who bought it, today. We are spending almost all our time in our garden, and working with our house, so we have not used our caravan, much. During our Summer holiday this year, the whole family are going to Turkey. We decided to sell our caravan, because we used it very little. 

Today it's Friday, and this is the last weekend before Cecilie's confirmation, so i belive that most of our time will be used to prepare the confirmation.

This entire afternoon (after work and school), we have been baking. Actually, it's Cecilie and Joakim who has been baking. I have only been helping them out.

Cecilie and Joakim have been very clever. We are going to put all of it in the freezer, and have it there, until Cecilie's confirmation. We are going to have over 40 guests, and need lots of food and cakes.

This morning we woke up to a bright sun, but the grass was rimed over, so it is still a bit cold a night. The sun has been shining this entire day. Wonderful!

During the weekend Charles has made a footpath down to our barbeque house.

Yesterday Charles and Joakim put up a small fence by this footpath. Last fall, when we put up our barbeque house, the lawn was destroyed by our tractor, so this year we are going to fix the lawn, and sow new grass seeds.

Yesterday I went to the flower shop and ordered flowers for Cecilie's confirmation day. Pink roses and bridal veil, with some green leaves. I think it will be nice.

In addition to this most of my time goes to plan Cecilie's confirmation. Washing and tidying, and making everything ready to our guests who is going to stay overnight with us, during the confirmation weekend.

A fwe days ago, I spottet the first white anemones! My page about white anemones is here.

Another week has passed. Nothing much has happened. Most of my time goes to plan Cecilie's confirmation, which is going to be at Sunday, in two weeks.

But, last night, I went to a jubilee party for my work. We were 450 people at the party. We had a very nice evening, with indescribable delicious food. The entertainment was good, and I was able to dance a bit, before I went home.

Yesterday was a wonderful day. We had sunny weather the entire day. I was, of course, out, working in our garden. Now I have fixed and organized in all our flowerbeds. While I was working in our garden, a lady I have met only one time, came to me with a bag of Snowdrops! We had talked about that she would give me some snowdrops, because she have a lot of them, in her garden. I was very happy to get so many snowdrop plants. I have put Snowdrops in 6 of our 7 flowerbeds. The Snowdrops don't bloome now, but next spring, I am looking forward to see all of these beautiful Snowdrops all over our garden.

If you want to see a photo of Snowdrops; check out my page about Snowdrops. (The photo is from our old garden, by our appartment, where we lived some years ago.)

Today it's cloudy, but no rain or wind, so Charles and Joakim are tidying in our outhouse, while Cecilie is in the church. I have planned to use this day to housework.

I have been out working in our garden a lot lately, to today I have to work a bit indoors.

Last night's party was fun. Charles and I were dancing a lot!

Today I have continued to work in our garden. Now I have finished with all the flowerbeds, exept for one. In addition to this, I have expandet the large flowerbed with perennials. I have been carrying bags with soil, and small and very large stones, so now I am exhausted.

Now we have just enjoyed grilled salmon and grilled middle rib steak of beef from moose (elk), in our barbeque house. It has been a wonderful weekend. Lots of garden work, dancing and delicious food.

Almost the entire day, I have been working in the garden. Now I have organized 2 1/2 large flowerbeds.

I have posted two new photos at my garden pages.

Tonight Charles and I are going to a party. I am looking forward to this. I hope that I will get a chance to dance. A lot.

Yesterday afternoon Cecilie and I was at the school. Her class had invited their parents for a movie evening. The class had made several movies, that they showed for their parents. We had a very nice evening, and enjoyed both the movies, and coffee with cakes.

After I had seen the movies, I went to dance, like I use to do, at Thursday's.

After work today, I bought 5 new bags with soil. Tomorrow I have planned to continue with the flowerbeds. Today I have been working, the whole afternoon, with cutting the small hedge, that I planted last Fall. We have had nice weather today, but a bit chilly. When I finished cutting the hedge, it started to rain. (About 7.30 PM.)
