The showers never passed above us here so we didn’t get that much rain but then again it’ll rain all weekend, perhaps no showers but I’m pretty sure we’ll get enough to fill up my water barrels. Today has been pretty nice though, just below 20C (68F), a little windy with cool air blowing and mostly cloudy with rather thin clouds.
I had planned to dig up the potato and vegetable patches today but I felt too tired by the time I was supposed to do it so I’ll do that tomorrow instead, if it doesn’t rain too much of course 🙂 I do wake up early every day but 3:30 am is a bit early even for me but that’s when I need to get up on Fridays since I need to be first at work to go through (literally actually) the big washing machine before anyone else starts to work 🙂 There’s so much to do in the powder paint department that they need to work the entire weekend and they’ll also work on Thursday when we’re having a holiday here. Guess if I’m glad I don’t work in there any more 🙂 🙂
We walked down to the creek after I had come home today and I must say that Almas behaviour has improved a lot. She still pulls the leash and she still shouts and whines but not even close to what she used to. Unless she see anything moving of course 🙂 🙂 She loves t watch birds or just even listen to them and now she can hear the Cuckoo bird everywhere. I don’t think I’ve ever heard as many as this year and the first one I heard Cuckooed from north and according to old folklore that means we’ll have a dry summer. Spring and now presummer has been dry so far so who knows if that one is right 🙂 🙂
It is time for a pot of tea and I think I still have a few digestives I can have with it. I also think I might have some blue cheese to put on them and if the rain waits to start falling I even might have it while sitting on te kitchen stairs. No sunshine now but birds are singing and it’s quite nice outside 🙂
Have a great day!

Hi Christer,
Today finally got sunny and stayed in the mid 60’s. Tonight is cooler. The only window I have open is in my bedroom, but I may have ti close it. The pine pollen has started. I can see on my windshield, the first indicator.
I took a tick off Nala last night. We were in ned, and I was rubbing her ear. It was tiny and hadn’t yet impeded. I was not happy as my dogs don’t usually ever get ticks. I did hear, though, that it will be a bad tick year. Henry wasn’t happy when I checked him. He took off on me. He is so particular about where I touch him. The feet are off limits. Nala loves pats everywhere.
Tomorrow will probably set a new record in Boston as it is supposed to be in the 90’s. We’ll be in the 70’s. I love living near the ocean.
Enjoy your Saturday!!

Hi Kat!
Nights are too cold here to have any windows open yet. Today’s raining but I have the kitchen door open so the dogs can go outside if they need to, they mostly just look outside with disappointment in their eyes 🙂 🙂
Lots of ticks here now and I pick off at least one every day on Alma, she’s a tick magnet. Alma really doesn’t care what I do and Nova’s the same. Albin will allow me to touch his feet but he does look as if I’m slowly killing him 🙂 🙂 🙂
We should be happy if we reach 50F today.
Have a great day!
Christer.
