To be or not to be - winter...

Today it has been raining here in Sweden, at my home between Stockholm and Uppsala. Some day's it feels really like spring, but then the cold weather keep coming back.

Back and forth. This day, sunday, it was really cold with ice on our little pond. I dream of the real spring and summer!!!

The pond

Love this photo of our little pond inte the garden. My brother made it some years ago, and I tried to help. Last year we had some goldfish in it, but not this year.

But we have an water lilly - Nymphaeaceae - in the pond instead. Really beautiful.

And it's really cold

This morning when I woke up it was almost minus 10 degrees Celsius. Absolutely too cold and freezing for me to want to go outside.

But it is rather beautiful, like the photo here. Snow and a piece of winter sun.

And here is another photo just two weeks ago, a small pond with then still open water. Beautiful.

Pond with ice

We have cold night's now here in Sweden, that make this little pond all icy, but the water is still running from the statue.

It's still beautiful to look at. But I still miss summer!

And here you have a rusty water barrel, almost hidden in the grass.
