Finally!

Cornflowers, poppies and Californian poppies now flower in the old wheel barrow 🙂

The temperature has dropped and the rain finally fell down the sky today and it fell a lot of it as well 🙂 It isn’t often everyone around You are happy about lots of rain and still want more to fall, especially during summer 🙂 🙂 Yesterday it was 32C (89,6F) today it stopped at 22C (71,6F). We’ll get more rain on Friday but how much varies between the different weather sites. I do hope the one with most is the right one 🙂

They grow everywhere but in my garden. It might be that the dogs fertilize my garden too well for them to like it here.

Chamomile always grow beside the gravel road. I really should pick the flowers and dry them so I can have them in tea during winter.

The factory was still nasty hot though. I guess that shows good insulation but also bad ventilation I’m afraid. The first one walking in to the factory days like these also opens all big doors so the cooler air can blow in, well at least days when there’s wind 🙂 No wind ever reach the powder paint department so the heat wave still went on in there 🙂

I was a bit worried that the flies would be horrible when we were out walking after work but they stayed calm almost all the way, only at the end of the walk they became nasty and tried to get inside the nostrils and ears. Must remember to bring the mosquito hat tomorrow. I don’t mind them buzzing around my head but I get really annoyed when they try to get inside it 🙂 🙂 🙂

Almost all windows are open and it was really nice when the wind flew through the cottage but now there’s no wind but compared to yesterday it still feels pretty nice. I started to be a bit worried about my closest neighbors yesterday because they too got this cold/ covid? and I hadn’t seen or heard them for over a week. Then this morning I finally heard how one of them drove to work and today when we headed out on our walk I finally had a chat with them. The fever is gone now but they are still not feeling especially well to be honest, just like all of us that had this.

Rubus odoratus, Virginia raspberry. The colors are a bit strong here, should have changed the settings 🙂 Beautiful weed that rarely gives any berries here and when it does the berries doesn’t taste anything. Tried to get rid of it several times but it always comes back 🙂

    Good that you finally did get some rain, Christer. The heat will return here this coming weekend, just in time for the start of a long holiday weekend here in the US. Thankfully, we have no travel plans so weather and traffic will not be annoying.

      Hi Beatrice!

      We were all so happy about the rain and cooler weather. It’ll get hotter for a day or two and then fall down to around 68F, just enough and we’ll even get some more rain too 🙂

      I’ve refused to drive around at all bigger holidays, people are insane when driving then, more than they normally are 🙂 🙂 Better to vist other people on regular weekends to be honest.

      Have a great day!

      Christer.

    Hi Christer,
    We got a nice glug of rain most of yesterday. We’re still in drought conditions but slightly better than before. There’s no more rain in sight until Saturday, maybe.
    I got all ambitious and decided to fix the outside faucet that was leaking. I didn’t know what type of washer it needed so I pulled it all apart and there was no washer or any sign that there had ever been one. Hardware store man said there had to be one and I should pull more of it apart. So much for ambition. 🙂
    Have a great day.

      Hi Caryn!

      The same here, still drought and will continue to be even though we will get more rain on Friday/ Saturday. at least the temperature will drop down to around 68 by then and stay like that for at least a week, well if they’re guessing right that is 🙂

      There’s just so much one want to pull things apart to be honest 🙂 🙂 It can be tricky to get it together again 🙂 🙂

      Have a great day!

      Christer.
