looong time ago

Havent got the time to blog for a long time. Just been working and working and working almost all days and nights since Svalbard.

Havent got the time to fix the hey for the sheeps, so I have sold almost all of them. Next winter we will have only a cupple. Sad but necessary.

On this pic Niklas (Marits son) Marie and Wiggo their son. I am almost a grandpa (I am Karlsson on the roof

Me and this little fellow  will have a good time in a year or two. Have already bought him a tractor and a baler and next summer there will be a quad and a motorcykle (-:

Wish I got the same energy as this little fellows

 At least a got a new tractor. IH 84H. Much easyer to trive than the old one, and heat in the cab. Will be good next winter

Time for the lawn again

Så var det dax att göra nåt åt gräsmattan som vi grävde sönder i vintras. Köpte den här jordfräsen förra veckan. Mesta av jobbet gör jag naturligtvis med traktorn, men den här lilla manicken är bra att ha på dom svåråtkomliga ställena. Delar av marken är fortfarande väldigt blöta så jag får dela upp jobbet i etapper så det hinner torka efterhand.

Vi har mycket vi ska hinna med innan vi åker till Svalbard, så kvällarna blir fyllda med arbete. Tillsammans med gräsmattan har vi flyttat fåren till sommarbetet, planterat buskar och blommor och planterat tomater och gurka i växthuset. Nu återstår bara trägårdslandet med morötter, potatis och annat gott. Tur att vädret är bra.

what to do in a beutiful easter

If you dont now what to do in easter I can give you some examples.

Digging mud is pretty funnie so I did it twice

At the firs time I got it up again, but not the second. Just to wait for my friend with the backhoe. Pretty funny in easter.

Just tried to fix the lawn after our geothermal digging in mars. Maybe I would be waiting until the ground was dry  :-)

If you dont think digging mud is funny you can help your motherinlaw with her firewood. At least she is glad .

But the best is spending some time with these little bugs

Spended a cupple of ours with our bee teacher looking in a hive. They just woken up from their wintersleep, and started to work at once.

After midsummer we got our own bees, and that will be exciting.

Marit was taking the photos (and laughed  a lot to my stupidness)

Time for springtime work

Att våren är här har väl inte undgått någon. men bara 10 km från vårt hus är det fortfarande väldigt mycket snö kvar. Här uppe på höjderna kommer alltid våren några veckor senare 

Vägen var väldigt lerig och jag var glad att jag inte hade sommardäcken på

Som vanligt är fårklippning en av vårens sysslor. Våra får blev inte klippta i höstas, jag tyckte att det var alldeles för kallt när det var dax

Så nu hade dom ordentligt tjock päls och var dubbelt så jobbiga att klippa. Dom kommer i vanlig ordning att se för djäkliga ut några veckor framöver.

Vi har haft nåt mystiskt främmande hos hönsen. Något djur har varit in och stulit alla våra 17 kycklingar. Satte ut fällor i förrgår och fick en stor råtta i en av dom i går. Troligen den som har orsakat förödelsen. men vi har flera kycklingar på gång och jag hoppas att jag har fångat fler råttor innan dom släpps ut.

this day, a lifetime

Both Marit and me likes like surprices, and oftenly we dont planning so well for things.

Life will go like it goes.
Today it was open house, and we expected 10 maybe 15 persons. We have decided to offer them some coffe and lemonade after their tour on our farm.
I went to the car parking to show them the way to the sheeps pasture, but I never understood how many there was.



Marit realized when she saw the crowd...

There was more than 60 pepole arrived at 11!!!!

 Well, there was nothing to do, except boiling some more coffe.
A little bit difficult to explain sheepfarming for everybody, but the kids get a good time, and thats the main thing.
It´s sad that kids grown up today thinking milk comes from the refridgerator in the store, and meet is the flat thick thing on a Mac Donalds burger.

As many as possible got the opportunity to cuddle with a lambs and eves.
After a half our or so, most of the eves thought it was boring with all the pepole and went in to the barn,lay down starting to ruminate. Show was over in ther point of viev

 And we made more coffe

 Then it was showtime for the chickens. Most of the kids (and adults) have never se a chicken, not even on tv.
Think it was a great day for all of us

After the show, we went to the hospital 1 our away to welcome our new familymember. Marit is a proud grandma and was realy exited to meet her first grandchild



Marits mum , Marie the proud mother and Marit



3 generations, Niklas, Marit and the small one who got no name yet (or more truly, he got at least 5 )



Off curse the little boy would like to test my arms also.
Will sing lullabys and telling fairytales for this one for at least 10 years

in sweden there is a famous story about a little boy and "The best Karlsson in the world"

Karlsson is a "moderat fat man in his prime" and he does a lot of fun (he thinks)

That will be me.....
