Our World: 11 March 2019
We're having a great winter this spring with hoar frost, melting snow and then snowstorms! The deer don't mind and they were glad to see some grass before it got covered with snow again.

People always get their hopes up about spring... we've had a warm spell, but now it's very cold again! Still, it keeps the ticks away! :-)

Our World: 25 February 2019
A couple of weeks ago, we were under about 2.5 feet of snow. (Most of it has melted already.)
After a couple of days of snow, it looked as if we had a snow monster outside of the front door!

I love really old buildings covered in snow, don't you? This is an old mill in the countryside.

Our World: Hurray-it's-February-Edition
We've had a lot of snow recently! Luckily, here in Sweden, we don't take snow days as winter tyres are obligatory. But we have to do a lot of shovelling!

Lady Fi here! Just to give you a heads up about my new blog theme. The header goes across the top of the page (at the moment, it's a shot of Ruby catching snowflakes). The eight smaller squares are more like Instagram. Click a square to get to a blog post. The newest post is always the one at the top left. Hope this helps!

The wonderful poet, Mary Oliver, died recently. Did you know that she was a great dog lover? She writes this:
A dog can never tell you what she knows
from the smells of the world,
but you know, watching her,
that you know
almost nothing.

Our World: The panic-before-Christmas Edition
We finally got some snow and everything is looking a lot more festive.
I've only bought one Christmas present - would now be a good time to panic?

December already!
Time for Advent lights in the window and ... well ... snow? We had some extremely cold days with rime frost, but December kicked off very mild. (Still waiting on that snow...)

Our World: Bonfire Night Edition
5 November is Bonfire Night (or Guy Fawkes Night) in the UK. But here in Sweden (where I now live), it's just another day...
It is time to celebrate November: a time when birds fly in the sky like fluttering leaves.
