There is so much one can do and enjoy during September and October, even in the North!Hiking is an especially extraordinary experience, when you can watch the colorful palet of nature, as it's getting ready for the winter sleep.
All the creatures, small and large, are in rush and you can watch them hurry with gathering food stocks for the long period of cold. Squirells stock up their nests, foxes hunt as much mice as they can to gain some weight, bear tracks zig zag the forrest trails as they search for the most suitable, protected and comfy dens for their long winter sleep. Moose roam the area in search for partners and hundreds of birds cruise the skyes on their way south.
Absorbing the last warm sun rays while sitting on raindeer skins around the fire, sipping freshly cooked coffee, playing with puppies and of course - training the huskies for the tough winter competitions.
When your finger tips get cold and your chins turn red from the wind and spending whole day out, you enjoy the warmth of the fire place and a home baked pie, while reading a book in the cozy living room of the farm.
If you love nature and animals, and would like to get an insight of how the training of athletic sled dogs looks like, and would like to be a part of it, then you should look into booking a day, weekend or even a whole week at Nordic Husky Farm.

Gina and Stewart, Kim, Pluto, Jachym and I, equipped with large jogurt containers, hit our forrest trail and attacked the blueberry crops :)
We did not regret a single minute spent at the lovely place, set up right on the banks of Vattudalen lake.
Looking at the gallery, set up in one of Bonässet´s historical buildings, with a museum like display of furniture and old and new photographs of families that lived and still live in and around the village, taking a walk along the shore and among the fields, visiting another old farm house with a display of local art (paintings, etc.), made us realize how important the connection for all the people in this area really is. The history and today ties these people together and meeting them later at the delicious traditional dinner and a bit later even a dance, we learned a lot about our "neighbours". How proud the farmers really are about where and how they live and the obvious togetherness made us feel we really are becomming part of this comunity and we realized even more that we are starting to feel real home here.
Small folk concert with Jämtland´s beautiful traditional music
Jachym and Krtek having a good time after having home baked pies and coffee.
A live band formed from locals, called the "Bonasset Orchestra" was perfect. We learned a lot about Jämtland´s traditional folk music and dances, which are, by the way wonderful to listen to and watch. 
All and all, a wonderful way how to spend not just a day, but for learning a bit more about the culture and history of Sweden´s North and it´s countryside, and a little journey to the local people´s hearts. Definitly a great way how to see the real life of the ordinary people in the North.
The nature is so beautiful and the waters completely still, and everything blooms. Just enough for your fantasy to start rolling to take photos or paint on stones and old, washed out wood, that the waves brought to the shore.
The company of the loyal huskies that are always willing to give you some extra energy and make you smile.
