I associate spring with the swedish translation:RUN! You want to get rid of the winter, for example was the 14 pairs of ski we have altogether, before storing them on the attic for the summer. Then I saw the chaos on the attic, so I had to clean up, throw some things away and now i's so neat and tidy that I probably won't find a thing, when I need it. That mostly happens when I clean up...... Then I mowed the lawn (after the horse mowed it a couple of times), planted flowers on the balconies, rhubarb in the garden, ironed until I saw the bottom of the basket (which I haven't for a looooong time) and at the same time a managed to get some tan on my backside :-) And two more lambs were delivered (no - not by UPS!), black ones, a boy and a girl. And as the weather has been mostly more like summer Emil and I had an "after-work-beer" together, watchin the sun disappear behind the mountains, instead of going inside and sit a the computer. And then I just HAD to go for a ride now and then, with the bike, with the horse - so as you understand I've been very busy. And all the daily chores not mentioned, of course, because that would be boring. What's definitely not daily for me, is to produce a birthday cake. Niki had his 20th anniversary on tuesday, but then he was in Innsbruck, so we had the cake this afternoon. Friday. I'm still feeling a bit sick; moccabuttercream. It was surprisingly good!

The cake. We came to the conclusion that this would be the last cake with candles. Many candles, at least.


Unpacking his third book and still smiling.....


Lamb number 2. Number 3 looks just the same, only smaller.
And yes, we had the sheep sheared as well, last week. That's spring; you do a lot of things, that you only can, or want to, do exactly this time of year. It's a fast season. And I almost forgot, we've put up lot of fences. And painted a little on the house. And cleaned all the windows. I waited until we got some more snow that cleaned the air from pollen. Made everything green and yellow, out there. Pollution!?


Short winterintermezzo about 10 days ago. "Our lake" - Vilsalpsee.

Now we have summer again, althoug it's raining, but rain belongs to a green summer.
