Almost springtime in Sweden
Springtime has almost hit our hometown here in Sweden, so its that time of year when the browns and greens are being convinced by the light and crispy greens to step aside. You all know that time, you can almost smell the colors in the air. The winds are still a bit chilly but if you find that place where the winds cant find you, the warmth from the sun is amazing. Yesterday, it was about 10 degrees Celsius so yeah, it’s still a bit chilly. And that’s 50 degrees Fahrenheit for those of you who use that system.
Has any gotten the hang of the conversion between Celsius and Fahrenheit? After googling it, I found out that it’s actually not that hard, you just double the °C figure and add 30. So 10 degrees Celsius x2 = 20. add 30 = 50 degrees Fahrenheit. See, quite easy. Okay, that was a side note.
But even though it’s almost warm enough to sit outdoors, we Swedes are getting ready to set up the patio or in this case, fixing Angelica and her fiance’s balcony into an outdoor living area. I know, its almost crazy, but when the sun finally is showing its face long enough during the days, that it actually gets a bit warm, the Swedes pop up like weeds. Everywhere you go during the sunny parts of the day the Swedes are lining up like Suricats to sunbathe, it looks quite funny.
And oh hey, there’s a picture och Angelica and Lee’s furry family member Lexi, isn’t she a beauty?
So have you started fixing up your outdoor areas yet? Or maybe you’re in a country where it’s warm enough all year round? Please let us know in the comment section below, we would love to hear your story. And hey, please let us know what town and country you are from.

Your balcony looks so cosy! Where did you get your rug from? I need to sort out my balcony now that it’s getting warmer in London 😊

Mysig balkong! Jag har börjat plantera lite blommor på balkongen men behöver skura balkonggolvet och möblerna och det är ju inte riktigt lika kul som att plantera, så vi får se när det blir av (rättare sagt när jag lyckas övertyga min sambo att göra det 😊 ). Det känns som att man kommer tillbringa lite tid på balkongen i sommar så man behöver göra den så fin som möjligt.

What beautiful photos! We are working on our backyard outdoor space. We just ordered a hot tub. Making the best of the quarantine while we can.
Matt
Glad it is starting to warm up for you! We have been in spring for quite sometime already, here in Arizona. haha, we may reach 100 F already at the end of this week. I am not ready for it to be hot again. haha

This has me so excited fo spring. I may not be able to go anywhere, but I can look out my window and see things blooming, and that’s a nice thing.

Ana Rose
Thanks for sharing these wonderful photos. How I wish I could experience what you are describing very soon. But now, it seems that at this moment, we can just enjoy those sceneries by watching them in television or by looking at its photos. I hope the coronavirus pandemic ends soon we can finally enjoy going outside without fear of being infected.

It is so nice when spring weather is finally on the way! It seems like we get a warm day or two here, then lots of cold and rain (or even snow). But, we are getting there! A little bit of sun goes a long way 😊

Yeah, Spring is probably the best time of the year! But we are in lockdown now and cannot venture out too far. By the way, I like your easy conversion method from Celsius to Fahrenheit! 😊

I´m always in trouble when it comes to Celsius vs Fahrenheit lol really need to start fixing up the outdoor areas

The sunny pics look so lovely! I’m in southeastern Virginia (USA) and we had quite a mild winter. Spring has sprung here and since we have a “stay at home” order due to COVID-19, I spend my days at my desk in the sunroom watching the flowers begin to bloom and a pair of bluebirds nesting. Can’t wait until the eggs hatch and we get to see the baby birds.

Spring is here and so is hayfever season! I revamped our derilict green house and have already got salad and tomatoes on the go. They’re loving the warm weather.

Spring is almost my favourite season (summer is the best!) when everything seems to come alive – it looks like spring in Sweden is glorious!

I’ve been fixing up my outdoor patio as well for the past few months, in fact I’m sitting at the patio table as I write this. I just love eating and drinking outdoors!
