When the daylight becomes shorter and the nights become longer many of my Swedish friends start to complain about the growing cold outside and their longing for the summer that has come and gone. Because the concept of the four seasons is so new to me I relish and enjoy each season and the new customs and activities that come along with them.
Thus far Autumn in Sweden is about collecting apples before they go bad, polishing all my silver so it can be enjoyed during the coming months that that will be spent mostly indoors and letting it rain on me when I run with my dog around the lake without giving it much thought.I have heard that there is no such thing as bad weather, just bad clothes....

Here it seems the seasons are duking it out for control. Last week it was 103 degrees. This week 55 degrees, cold and rainey. Today I woke up to a beautiful crisp blue sky. The up coming winter brings many to-do's; bring in the furniture, stack the wood, cover the wood, sow the grass seed, clean the gutters, empty out the fire place. I also love the winter, specialy because I get to stay inside and craft, and work on new recipes.
