We had a little bit of summer in 2007, most warm days clustered right at the beginning… May or early June. Then came the rain and never really left. All the rest of our summer and the fall months were well… fall like. Then came what is usually winter months but the fall weather stayed. Raining, no sun, clouds, NO sun!

We haven´t had any winter, just dark rainy and windy days. And then came Spring! Wonderful spring with sun and warmth. The days are longer and it doesn´t feel like walking around at night all of the time.

 

 

 

Last Sunday (the Sunday before Easter) was wonderful. We took a long walk and brought some coffee. I tried to capture the sun playing in the water running in the ditch next to the road. Our camera batteries died just then so I had to use Sam´s cellphone camera…

We walked through the forrest and enjoyed the view from above Jönköping.

It all seemed like a great start for Spring and the nice summer we are all expecting this year.

 

But NO! Things are not the way they used to be. There is no order in nature anymore. From fall to spring and now to winter. We get the first of winter at the end of March. Monday morning, the day after our nice forest walk and the first picnic of the year, we woke up to snow, cold, and ice! It hasn´t left us since. Who knows maybe we will have winter in the summer now? Nature, the climate, it is not what it used to be!
