Spring is early this year and coming along nicely. Sunny and warm days. Very cold nights with frost.

Got a new sun-driven LED-lamp from Ikea and planted it in one of the flowerbeds. It has charged but noticed yesterday night that only one of the bulbs lit up. Have to check that.

Hung out last years sun-driven lamp (the dirty one in the background) and got a new one from Ikea (the closest one).  Both have charged during the week as it has been extremely sunny. ON the wall I still have the light-curtain which during winter has other decorations. Ikea did this smart thing that you can exchange the decorations on the light-curtain according to season. So I got myself some white and green balls with holes in and took off the stars that were there over the Xmas-season. The nights and evenings are still very dark so the extra lighting out there is needed.

The honey-suckle on the corner is coming along fine. The leaves are visible and growing each day. Best though are the flowers. So far snow-drops and crocus, but there are lots of flowers budding in the flower-beds.

New carpet for the outside place

carpet

Finally I could get new carpets for my outside place and start to organize the place. The wall-painters are gone from my side of the house, and the walls are red and nice after the painting.

Had to get new carpets for the outside place as the old ones had to be thrown out after the last summer season. They last approximately three years provided you take them in over the winter. They are OK with rain but not with snow.

I got 2 of the above ones from Indiska. The backside pattern is in reverse to the above. Noticed when I placed them on the floor that they must be smaller than the previous ones. Big enough though I think. Just don’t want to have to put bare feet directly onto the concrete.

Have also started to put up flowerpots and the furniture that is supposed to be on the outside place. Slowly making progress. Not yet finished but getting there. I have pillows both for the bench and the chairs but I don’t leave them there unless I myself am there. Too many cats in the neighborhood…Impossible to leave pillows outside unattended.

I also need to give the bench some new black paint where it has disappeared over the winter. The outside place will look less black and white when more plants get there. With the warm and sunny weather we presently have I am happy I can finally use the place again.
