Today, March 21 (or rather tonight) is the spring equinox 2023. I celebrate end of winter by starting this years count down of the 91 days until the summer solistice, documenting gardening and spring/pre summer progress.
This is what it looks like today …

90 days until the summer solstice!
It’s #raining & I spend my time #sewing a new sweater for my #cat before tomorrow’s vet check up
My 1st garden addition arrived: 10 bare rooted sloe (thinking of you @eyebeams ) soak in rainwater, waiting for a decision on where…

Thursday March 23 & 89 days until the summer solstice
+8°, so warm considering
And it’s raining …
Our visit to the vet went well
Medicine prescription for itching/allergy &👍🏻 for overall condition
Here is the #cat Alice waiting to see the skin specialist this morning

Ok, today it’s 88 days until the summer solstice. There is no change in weather today. Still warm +8° and heavy rain on and off
#sarasspringcount23
Spent a lot of time multitasking yesterday - cocking, sewing, cleaning up the mess afterwards. The #cat Alice’ sweater was prolonged and she is a lot calmer when she cannot reach her sides and lick/drag off the fur when itchy
Looking good so far… Taking of the foil to give it some color during the last period of cooking.
I’d better fetch that salmon.

In the end I went for a piece of non smoked salmon 👍🏻
#Sunday #summertime and back to #WinterWeather …
With 87 days until the summer solstice it’s-2° out there and #snowing …
Another sunny day Tuesday March 28 & it is 85 days 5 hrs until the summer solstice
Tonight was really cold, -7°, but from now on it seems April weather takes over rest of the week. After the weekend spring will be back…

All turned to rain and my afternoon saved by
“Skolan efter marknaden
Om skolans och lärarrollens framtid”
(That last part was the assignment all the authors got)
Loots of reviews of this already so I’ll not be disappointed. I love the title

Last day of March, 82 days & 6 hrs until the summer solstice…
As I look out there is more or less no change since yesterday. But it’s only +1° & I can see the #snowfall approaching from the north. Forecast is snow all day.
#sarasspringcount23
Another sunny day. When I woke up there was still thin ice near the shore, but now, as I’ve curated my website, it’s all gone
With 80 days until the summer solstice only a few chilly nights remain in the foreseeable future
Drinking ☕️☕️
Considering my options…
Another sunny day and new thin ice after a cold night
79 days to the summer solstice
Temperature just reached +-0° and it’s time to change place between contents of the orange, now half full coolboxes & the tiny freezer to keep the food cold
It’s a process…
