You know...sometimes a place just fits you...your lifestyle or the way you want your kids to grow up or something about it just feels "right". It's almost enough to make me believe in reincarnation...i think i lived in Vikarbyn in another life...cause it fits all those descriptions.
Usually this is all covered by lovely sun-warmed water....and ofcourse since i was there alone and working while my family was back in Västerås in our old house and i missed them terribly, i took the time to do something special:
lol
There are so many pics i'd love to put up of our house...but my current favorite is one that Matilda took...catches the angle perfectly and shows the best of our new home:
That's the guesthouse all the way to the right...next is the woodshed, then the garage, then the toolshed. around the corner is one more room and small storage shed that has...it's own well! still need to have that water checked to se if i can use it for gardening. It's deep though...i took a LONG stick and tried to reach bottom...didn't (brrrr...) so right now it have a lid over it and a lot of bricks stacked on the lid and a tree trunk on top of the bricks...all to discourage curious kids from investigating. :-D
I think i'll have to break this one up into 2 posts...too many pics to show and there are a ton of dishes with my name on them in the kitchen! bye for now!
I mean....look at that. quite a view, eh? here's the same view in clearer weather:
That the wonderful Lake Siljan...a few minutes walk from our house. It has sandy beaches and the water is shallow(knee-high) out to about half a mile...so perfect for swimming little kiddies!
At the start of spring, they release some water from the dam down stream and the water levels lower so it's ALL sandy beach for as far as the eye can see! look:

That's the "backside" of our house and the guest house...just love this pic so much!
another view of the guesthouse and it's attached buildings:
