Celebrating Swedish summertimes

Summer times when the living is easy... Just enjoy! very day we wake up the sun is there, mostly it is already warm. Even in the north of Sweden (Lapland) it has been over 30 degrees for weeks....We worry about it but don't try to think to much about it, because we cannot change this on our own, we can only take our part.

Sometimes it is a little cloudy for some minutes. Already for weeks. As you have been reading in the last post the weather was too hard to work in the garden. Not only the heat (always above 26 at least) but more the horseflies attacking you the whole time. They developed very well due to the high humidity last weeks. We decided to slow down. Celebrate sun and summer before it's dark and lonely again. Just enjoy what's coming up. So now we stopped working and started sleeping in the afternoon, having dinner evening time outside with friends and we decided to travel again (because soccer finally started after the Corona restrictions and we got our second vaccination 😀). Of course we still need to to be careful and take care of the rules in Sweden. But it is never very crowded or close and every one is taking care till now... maybe because it is holiday time? We will see, have a nice summer time too (and don't think it is always cold in Sweden anymore)... Enjoy!

About me

Hello, so nice you are visiting my blog. I'm Brun Arntz. Since 2016 I'm living on the countryside in Småland Sweden. I'm working on a lot of creative projects. My biggest project is my dream was to create a big garden, with a nice natural design filled with self grown flowers with my green fingers. As you can reed in my blog, I'm still working on this project now. It makes my happy to live so close to nature, to go with the flow. It brings me a lot of balance in my life. Another project is to be creative with natural materials to make home and garden decorations. For Christmas, Wintertime, Eastern, Spring or just a normal day. That gives me a lot of spirit! Or in wintertime I try to renew old stuff. It is easy to scoren some old furniture in a famous Swedish loppis (Secondhand). Of course with nice colors in the Scandinavian style, light, simply and natural. Specially green, of course... Now I'm dreaming to have a typical Swedish Trädgårdscafe where people can have Swedish Fikatime (time for having coffee and cakes) with a lot of places to sit somewhere in a very nice garden. But the Coronavirus disturbed my planning....but maybe next spring? Great that you want to follow some my projects. I hope it will give you good spirit and inspiration too. Greetings from Brün

My garden

Once upon a time there was a very nice garden around Stegaryd Sjöbygget Gamla Skola. After the school was closed in the 50's the new owner started creating a garden around the place. The place was well known in the surroundings to be full of flowers and the lady was always working in the garden (a little bit like me now, just because I like it so much). When she got too old the house was sold as a summerhouse, the garden was not longer taken care of. When we came, in 2016, we started to clean up and recover what once was there. Because gardening, designing, creating and growing plants is my passion and love. The goal is to create a natural garden with grandma's plants and some prairiegarden influences. After 5 years, we are not ready yet but a lot of heavy work is done now. It's starting to be a nice garden again. Judge it yourself on my weblog.
