Quicker and later than ever before the seasons have changed from winter to spring. Where there was snow just 2 weeks ago, greens are growing now and taking over the landscape. They are more yellow than green still, but growing at a breathtaking pace and soon this first yellowish green will turn into a light, soft and vivid may green. Birds are singing loudly and the first bushes and flowers are starting to bloom, filling the air with their sweet scents. In our garden the hagberry tree by the water is about to bloom and I can't wait to stand right under it and sink into its sweet odour.

Saturday has come and gone and with it another day in the garden.

I was so excited to come back to Sweden and see that the river was free of ice and snow and by now even the rest of the landscape is. It feels almost like being weightless going outside without having to put 2 pairs of pants, socks, boots and 3 jackets on! 😍 I love this time of year, because everything feels so liberated and I just want to be outside all of the time. Today has been the most beautiful day and I was at work and had no opportunity to take a walk and enjoy the greens and smell the fresh air, but luckily the weekend is approaching quickly and I can't wait to spend more time outside then!

It happened so quickly! Within just 2 days the ice had disappeared from the lake, roughly a week after I took these photos. And now, just another week later everything is turning green already. It's insane how quickly things are changing outside right now and if it hadn't been so windy the last 2 days, I would have spend every second of my spare time outside in the garden. But it was windy and cold and so I did some indoor gardening instead, repotting seedlings that had outgrown their trays and building up some flower trellises that I bought a while ago but couldn't build up while there was nowhere to put them when there was still snow. It's exciting how quickly everything is moving now and I vastly underestimated how much work it would be to set up this garden in the way that I want to. Oh well 😅 it's so much fun and there will be many more years for us to continue on the garden.

I was really tired today, after a long and eventful week and spent the majority of the day in the garden. It is a lot of physical work and my whole body is aching now, but I also feel so happy about finally being able to shape this space around us and soon see all kinds of greens and other colors explode around us. I put some of my garden work into my stories today 😊

When we were in Germany, my parent's garden was in full bloom already and it was so wonderful to see all the colors exploding around us and has made returning to ice and snow so much more bearable. Now, finally even at home the first flowers are starting to emerge from the ground that is already less brown and more green than just a week ago. Even though there is still a risk for frost I am starting to put plants outside and am looking forward to seeing how everything will look like a month from now. Usually June is the month with the most vibrant colors and I am so curious about all the plants in our garden coming back to life. Many of which I yet have to identify! 😊 There are so many flowers that I like and I can't wait to see which ones I will find in our garden!

Today was the most beautiful rainy day. Several rainshowers came down and it was so refreshing to watch the water pour down from the sky instead of snowflakes tumbling down like in the last few months. Even though the last snow only melted from the fields last week and there is still some left in shadowy places, the fields and bushes are already starting to turn green. They have been waiting for way too long and now they are in a real hurry to grow with all the light, warmth and now water available - finally.

This weekend Tord and I spent spring cleaning our house (though after travelling and having lots to do in the garden since then, we never actually got to the cleaning part and "only" kept tidying different rooms). While I was at it, sorting laundry, folding it and putting it away into the wardrobe, I started noticing more and more flaws with our current system and so I reorganized big parts of our bedroom to fit our needs better and make it easier for us to keep it clean and tidy.

The weather was gorgeous today and I spent every spare minute in the garden. I cleaned a patch that must one day long ago have been a flower bed, but that now was totally overgrown with grass and weeds. They were dried from the winter and quite easy to take away, but I will have to see over how to get at the roots. But I didn't stop there, after I finished with the flowerbed I tended to the strawberry beds and started reorganizing them and cleaning them up, which is going to take so much longer than I thought, because I keep finding more plants than I could see from the start (and I don't know what to do with all of them!! 🙈😅).
