Memories; While the snow falls

The snow is falling.

Soon, the longest month ever in a year, turns into February and from there it does not feel so far to the first month of Spring. Last year brought some hope with the happenings against the reason why mostly sit indoors and avoid other people. After several months that turned into years, we finally could take a trip to the cottage. It was like something surreal and happy at the same time. The deers had taken over our garden and the grass was higher than Kardashians high heels. But the sun was warm and the forest green, so I did not complain.

Had some Barbies along to the lake near our cottage. 
The leaves had started to fall.

A new star. She is a Barbie Extra that I found at a local toy store. 
She has Rainbow High doll's outfit on.

I had some of my dolls along and I knew that we could not travel as we usually do, so I hoped for some amazing days with wonderful weather. I got lucky. So lucky that I even could take a swim in the lake. That was like medicine for my soul. I just lied on my back in the water, floating like a plastic bottle, looking up to the sky. It was blue with fluffy white clouds and this was in late August and almost the whole September, before it got colder in October. The forest around our cottage is a great place to walk, pick berries and mushrooms...and take photos. 

Bought a car and a caravan to my collection.
The house in the background belongs to my
husband's uncle and a lady rents it yearly.

Here in Sweden it is still allowed to enjoy the forest, the parks and different sight seeings as long as you do not travel too far from your home. We could visit Wämöparken, the well known park in the Blekinge county. You can enjoy the nature, some cute animals and just take your dog for a walk. We did that as a family and we had a lovely day. We met an older couple that stopped by the dog park in the same area and the gentleman wanted to let the dogs play for a while. It was fine for us and it was so much fun for both dogs. In that dog park they have even a agility track. The other dog was really good at agility, but our Bentley got a bit confused.

Amazon opened their doors in Sweden for a while ago and there were a lot of complaints about the site with crazy spelling mistakes and people ordering stuff that never arrived. I had to test that and ordered the teal colored boy from Rainbow High, River Kendall. I had now problems and got him on sale. He arrived to the cottage, in the middle of nowhere, in one piece. I am very happy. The local toy store had him, but for almost 3 times the price compared to Amazon. 

I hope that the year 2022 has started well for you. Stay warm and happy and cherish the memories.
