And so the night has come.

It is nicer to stay indoors sleeping than to be outside in the rain.

A much needed rainfall is passning by.

Another warm day and wind free as well :-) It was cloudy but so thin clouds that the sun shone through 😁 #spring #warm #sowing_and_growing #gardening #nature #walks New blog: thecottagebythecranelake.blog/2026/04/18/2...

They say it'll mostly be cloudy here today so I'm happy I woke up early enough to see this.

The blue hour is here, time to go to sleep.

Still below 0C (32F) but the sun is quickly melting away the frost in the fields.

Another nicevspringvday is on its way.

Finally even the wind was fairly warm. Nasty cold morning but the rest of the day was just perfect 😁 #spring #warm #sunshine #walks #roe_deer #nature #compost #cold_nights New blog: thecottagebythecranelake.blog/2026/04/16/e...

I've just emptied two thirds of my compost, the top layer still neded time to be ready. Eight pots and buckets filter plus my big wheelbarrow.

Cold and foggy. Won't stay fir long though. Really beautiful morning.

The sun is once again setting in the village at the outskirts of the world.

I'm longing for tomorrow when they're guessing the temperature finally will rise again. #spring #rain #walks #monsterkitten #the_dogs #cloudy #walks #nature_photographs New blog: thecottagebythecranelake.blog/2026/04/15/2...

No wind, no mice in the cool cellsr and we've had some rain during the night. Really it should be perfect but it feels really chilly in the air even if it actually isn't 😄

The world might behave insanely but I can't complain about the morning.

It could have been so nice outside today but the everlasting cold wind really destroyed the day. For some reason we only have wind here when we don't want it, when we want it it will be gone 😄 #spring #windy #cold_winds #wild_hogs #cloudy New blog: thecottagebythecranelake.blog/2026/04/13/i...

Yet another tiny part of Falköping.

Another tiny part of Falköping.

A tiny part of the old hospital in Falköping.

I wasn't expecting this beautiful sunrise this morning since it will be cloudy all day long.

The sun is rising, showing itsef for the first and last time this day. Clouds are lined up to take over the sky.

We've had a really nice day here, chilly in the morning but sunshine all day. Now it'll be cloudy but warmer so I really can't complain 😀 #spring #sunshine #gardening #walks New blog: thecottagebythecranelake.blog/2026/04/11/i...

Another really nice morning and they're saying the wind will be much weaker today.

Another cold night is about to take over.

It was almost over by the time I saw it. A fire is never good in a village full of houses and cottages made of wood. No injuries humans or horses though. #spring #windy #nasty_cold_wind #sunshine #walks #nature #mice New blog: thecottagebythecranelake.blog/2026/04/10/w...

The moonnis setting in s slightly different place, the morning is cold and just about to start.

Another day is over and the night is about to start. Cold air is slowly running down the road and the owls tells us where they are.

Not much happening here unlike in other parts of the world and that's just how I want it to be. #spring #sunshine #cold_nights #warm_days #wildlife #roe_deer #cranes #sowing_and_growing #nature #creek #forest New blog: thecottagebythecranelake.blog/2026/04/09/c...

And it all starts over again, like it always does.

An hour left before the sun sets and the cold night takes over.

Taking it easy in the heat from the sun.

Another tiny piece.

A tiny piece of Falköping.

The moon is on its way down while the sun soon will rise on the opposite side of my home.

The sun is setting and the wind has calmed down. It'll be a chilly night.

Sunshine all day but a northern wind did its best to destroy the day. #spring #sunshine #windy #sowing_and_growing New blog: thecottagebythecranelake.blog/2026/04/07/s...

First bud on one of my apricot trees. The problem with apricots here isn't hardiness but they start to flower so early. I'll have to protect the flower against all coming frost nights.

The sun is rising, birds are singing and absolutely no wind blowing 😁

Finally almost no wind at all 😄

The worst has passed but we'll have strong gusts blowing for most of the day. Thousands of households lost power but this village was never affected by that 😀

I'm so happy my neighbours cottage is built where it is because the gusts are pretty hard now. Their greenhouse is badly hit, parts of the plastic walls have flown away but the structure itself is good, so when the wind has calmed down we'll have a walk in the village to see if we can find them.

It doesn't feel that bad at the moment, we even have sunshine every now and again but I don't think we'll avoid the strong winds that should start to arrive the nex hour or so.

So far it's fairly calm compared to how it will develope later in the day. Still a bit too windy to have a morning walk in the forest.

The storm is hitting the British Isles right now but it has been pretty windy here anyway, Dave as the storm is called, will pay us a visit tomorrow. #spring #sunshine #warm #windy #roedeer #nature New blog: thecottagebythecranelake.blog/2026/04/04/b...

Looks really nice and it is here in my garden. The strong wind is blocked by my neighbours cottage but the wind roars through the trees. Tomorrow it'll be at least twice as strong but it looks like it will come from the same direction so hopefully I wont notice it that much 😁

A bit chilly but wind free. The wind will return though and the gusts will be really strong on Sunday evening/ night. #easter #spring #chilly #roedeer #walks #nature #witches #folklore New blog: thecottagebythecranelake.blog/2026/04/03/h...

Chilly bot no wind.
