New furniture in the dinging room

After 51/2 years with us and who knows how long with other owners was it time to say goodbye to the tables and seats in the dinging room. They have done their work but it was not save to sit on them longer and repairing them was not a option. And we had all kind of different seats so no entity.
So we bought new furniture. We had to put together the furniture self so hello screwdriver and glue here we come. And the result is there. Finally entity in the dining room.

It´s cold again

This morning when i started the car is was cold but at that time I didn´t realize it was -20. So not that much out side activities today. Except filling our wood stock. A good workout and you get warm.

Then i was time to prepare for the course witch will be held tomorrow at our place. Dalalyft is holding a Exel course here for small company´s.

Before getting the children I took some photo´s in the village.

We made a special price package for people who want to walk in the beginning of the sommar 2012

Walking in the footsteps of Linnaeus to the top of Städjan, northern Dalarna


On the 16th juli 1734 Carl Linnaeus wrote in his diary:
After we had rested overnight in the forest was it a tough journey trough the wild forest en a horrible path trough the mountain ridge named Gränjes åsen.
From here they went up on this high and long-awaited mountain, on the top tips we rested a while. This mountain was a right fjällmountain, for it´s top went up into the so called "secondam aëris region", above the tree level.

Städjan,a 1131 m high peak, looks like a Vulcan and dominates the whole aria. The vegetation in the mountains of rice and  lavhedar. On Städjan west slope will you find a very old pine forest.

Snowshoewalk

This weekend it snowed. We love it! 

We rent out snowshoes of the mark TSL, different sizes. Also children size.

The weather was good so Dick took the children with him for a walk on snowshoes. 

Of course did the girls want to have the pink snowshoes. And the youngest in the back carrier..

For Måns was it the first time on snowshoes. They walked 2 hours and he still liked it!

As reward was there hot lemonade

A nice day

Today it was-14 gr and a sunny day. So playtime with the children. We made a fire and grilled marshmallows and cooked coffee on the fire.

We have had a visit from the child care and after school care

Yesterday and today did they visit us

With the children from the after school care did we make a fire. They have found themselves in the forest material they could use to start a fire. With a flint knife they tried to make fire. 

While waiting for warming trough the fire did we do an experiment with warm water, so the children now understood why they have to wear a hat when it´s cold.  Then it was playtime with snow. We have dug out a snow cave. As reward was there hot chocolate and hot dogs, and that was well received.

We want to thank all the children and staff for their visit and welcome back. We also want to thank the parents that we could borrow their children.
