I am back...I think!

Well, that was alot of darkness! Sweden was hit by another storm on sunday. 2 years ago we had a storm called Gudrun and it left a devestating amount of fallen trees, housholds without electricity, water and phones for months even. On the island that I live we had quite alot of trees (the island is 14 km long and 3 km wide) and we lost 10 000 trees in the last storm. As you can imagien we didn´t have many left, and the ones left are gone now. Well, not everyone, but it definatly changes the nature and what you see from place to place. I was out sunday and was heading home around 2 pm. The ferry ride was ok I guess, but then we weren´t allowed to walk home, because of the risk of the falling trees. So we (me and a neghbour) had to wait in the harbour for about an hour and then the firetruck came and picked us up. They had to take a detour and it was really emotional driving through the "forest" and see what had happened. The wind kept on blowing the whole afternoon and night. At about 6 pm we lost our electricity and the phones went dead. We were lucky, we got our electricity back after a few hours, but the phones were dead until now (tuesday). I guess this is how things are going to be in the future. We have had a frightening warm fall (not one day with snow) and it really is strange seeing green grass and flowers in January in Sweden...

On a happier note I have actually made something out of my own challenge! :) I made a card. It was fun!
