T he next cleaning after having the décor at the ridges fixed and the scaffolds dismantled, will be my garden ....now one messy junkyard! F inal layers of linseed oil to be completed as soon as the warm  season of spring is here. Ia , filling up a dumpster with junk!

wonderful early morning sun! A lso a most revealing phenomenon!

Även om vi har olika morgonrutiner så kör vi lite färglöst   tills värsta morgonfrisyren har lagt sig! M orgonsolen är obarmhärtigt avslöjande vare sig vi vill eller inte. V em drog upp rullgardinen så här tidigt?? Fast det här funkar ju också...när man är trött i håret på takläggare. ⌚ Ia ⌚ One fatigue family saved by a fresh and rinsed coffee machine, no wake up calls are needed in this household. It's all taken care of by the roofers, now returned after all the snow shoveling.
