I’ve tried to find out what kind of wild rose this huge one is. The closest I’ve come is Rosa setigera, Climbing prairie rose but the buds doesn’t look the same so I’ll continue looking.

It was drizzling when I woke up this morning and a bit cool as well. Soo nice to just step outside when I let the dogs out. I had my bedroom window open and was thinking that I should let it stay open it would stay cool in my bedroom. I’m so glad I closed it because it started to rain rather bad when I drove to work and after that it fell like it was a thunderstorm passing by 🙂 🙂

It’s Geranium season 🙂 The photos today were taken both today and yesterday.

The rain stopped around noon and by the time I arrived here at home most clouds were gone and the sun was shining. Still pleasantly cool though with a rather strong north western wind blowing. So I wasn’t annoyed on myself when I forgot to bring the mosquito hat. I did regret that when we were on our way home again because we reached an area where the wind couldn’t reach us but the flies could 🙂 🙂 Only annoying forest flies thankfully and I do hope this is one of those few years when we have very few horse flies.

A timber lorry was loading up some of the timber that they cut down not too long ago and I thought it would be hell to pass it with Alma and Albin. To my really big surprise both were quiet and Alma even tried to stay as far away from it as she could. No growling, no screaming, not even some whining happened? They always get really excited every time it pass outside the cottage so I really didn’t expect that it would be that easy 🙂 🙂 🙂

Sometimes, quite often actually, I wonder if Alma might have some Husky in her ancestry. The howling when she isn’t allowed to meet other dogs (because of Albin hating other dogs), the constant urge to run around in the garden with Albin (whether he likes it or not 🙂 🙂 🙂 ) and the constant talking which sounds very much like the way huskies do. This morning she had a long conversation with Albin, she wanted to play he wanted to nap until I went to work 🙂 🙂 🙂 I must admit that it would have been nice if she could lower her voice a bit but who can blame her, she was upset 🙂 🙂 🙂

I’ll drive to Gudhem on my way home after work tomorrow, the slow cooker will arrive just before I leave from work. It arrives at the right time since my vacation starts tomorrow 🙂 I’ll have plenty of time to successfully try and bake a bread in it these four coming weeks 🙂 This is the first vacation in I don’t know how many years that I don’t have to go back to clean a paint box when everyone else is at home 🙂 I have no idea who will do that job now though because they haven’t asked me to teach anyone how to do it 🙂 🙂 🙂

    Hi Christer,
    After four weeks, I expect you will have perfected the slow cooker bread recipe. 🙂
    Maybe the truck has to be moving to inspire the dogs’ reaction. Generally Piki ignores delivery trucks that are parked even if they are running. Once it drives off, it’s a different story.
    The weather is still perfect. We need some rain.
    Have a great day.

      Hi Caryn!

      I’m aiming on nailing it already at the first attempt 🙂 🙂 🙂 Well I think I will at least try it either tomorrow or on Sunday because I forgot to buy bread when I was in the store today 🙂 🙂

      You’re right about that it has to move but the driver was using the arm with a claw to pick up timber and usually that’s enough for both of them to start shouting 🙂 🙂

      We’ve had a really nice day here and most of it has been sunny. We do need more rain but personally I think it can wait a day or so 🙂

      Have a great day!

    Hi Christer,
    We had similar weather here today. It was a wonderful weather day. Tonight is down to the high 60’s. It feels a bit chilly. I just shut the window behind me.

    In my front yard I have two wild white rose bushes. They have already bloomed so no more roses this summer. The trees are in the front garden. They have grown wide and tall and need to be clipped. I keep bending branches down near my car. My clothes get caught by the thorns. I finally saw my landscaper. They’ll be trimmed.

    Enjoy your evening!

      Hi Kat!

      Really nice day today, sunny most of the time and a just enough cool wind to make it feel really nice. Our nights stays around 50F and that’s just how I like it but I wouldn’t mind if it fell a few degrees more either 🙂

      My roses will continue for quite some time more. The R. rugosa continues until late autumn 🙂

      None of my trees will be especially high or wide so I’ll just let them continue like they like it. Well the walnut does grow a bit too close to the cottage so I might have to do something about that one. Plus I do have a few small birches that needs to be removed, too bad because I like birches but they’ll become way too big for this garden.

      Have a great day!

      Christer.
