Det är vårvinter. Snön och isen tinar sakta bort men ännu kan jag inte gå fram till trädet i gympaskor utan att bli blöt om fötterna. Själv är jag numera sällan i Älvsbyn där trädet står eftersom jag enligt Folkhälsomyndighetens riktlinjer för närvarande mest arbetar hemifrån. Det finns så klart både för- och nackdelar med att jobba på distans hemifrån, men för mig överväger fördelarna. Jag trivs på det stora hela riktigt bra med att slippa tvingas tillbringa nästan varje vardag på kontoret. Covid-19 förekommer i Norrbotten men än så länge är antalet svårt sjuka covid-19-patienter som måste vårdas på sjukhus inte fler än vad regionen här klarar av att hantera. Låt oss hoppas att det fortsätter på det sättet.
It’s spring-winter. The snow and ice are slowly melting but I still cannot walk up to the tree in trainers/sneakers without getting my feet wet. Nowadays I’m rarely in Älvsbyn where the tree is located since, following the current rules of The Public Health Agency of Sweden, I mostly work remotely from home. There are of course both pros and cons to working from home but for me the benefits far outweigh the drawbacks. I’m generally quite pleased not to have to spend nearly every work day in the office. Covid-19 occurs in Norrbotten County but so far the number of severely ill patients with covid-19 that need hospital care does not exceed the capacity of the regional hospitals. Let’s hope it remains that way.

It’s a beautiful picture, even if everything is brown!
It’s interesting to see the bare soil at last – it’s almost the same colour as the tree…
I’m glad you are enjoying working from home. Me too – it certainly saves so much time not having to travel!
Please do stay safe – and I hope this Covid-19 doesn’t get much worse in Sweden.
Best wishes 🙂
True. Nothing is growing yet. Brown is in my opinion not a great improvement compared to snow white and grey. I want the world to become green again!
Likewise. Very much looking forward to green. I bet your huge tree will be spectacular.
This is interesting as where I am with all the rain and moderate weather temperatures I am surrounded by green all year and long for any colour other than green! some of the grasses take on autumn tints and the heather turns dark brown out on the moor, but there is such a lot of boring green grass!
I love the snow melt under the canopy of your tree, showing how much warmer it is under the protection of the tree.
Take care and stay safe,
Frances
