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
#sarasspringcount23
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.

#sarasspringcount23
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…
#sarasspringcount23
And it’s still there - #snow - as I wake up and it’s 76 days until the summer solistice.
I read about what Easter traditional food is expensive. And I’ve got it all… plus plenty of eggs.
Luckily these are very secular times … I even get a delivery! This is flowers, daffodils and pansies, plus candy and one loaf of bread to be used for both cooking & tomorrow, sparing me some shopping.
I really have A LOT to do today - preparing an Easter Eve lunch for family visiting, emptying my “outdoor fridge” for example. Bread, cheese & fats that might melt all need to fit somewhere inside
Afternoon will be warm.
I start by making a to do list, drinking coffe ..
#sarasspringcount23
And for breakfast/lunch?
Obviously boiled eggs + maybe Danish “Smörrebröd” on rye bread with cold smoked salmon & greens
Rest of the bread will have to go back to the freezer downstairs
Dinner is definitely sorted with all left overs
I think asparagus soup
#sarasspringcount23
It’s finally cooling down enough.
Here is that cake waiting to be picked up in the shade by the gate at 6 pm.
7.30 and it’s gone.
(Practicing a hobby without having to endure the results sure is a blessing … )
#sarasspringcount23
This on the other hand is more like it… way better than cake.
So far I filled the bird feeders, put the last of fruit from the fruitcake + nuts, seeds & apples under the rhododendron
I watch squirrels & the 1st birds finding the pile
Also installed an expandable water hose to be kept on the patio & watered the pansies
#sarasspringcount23
Next is under the bird feeder in front of me
Even digging under the foundation of cobble stones…
Sure spares me some sweeping
At 4 pm the raining finally stops
After a raid in the fridge stale apples & fruit is exchanged for fresh & the birds/squirrels get an unusually large heap
So happy about the cheap alternative for those chairs…
I have 7 altogether
