I think this must have been one of the longest days so far this year π π I had things to do all the time but it still felt like time stopped early in the morning. I was in the painting department as I have been all week and it is nasty hot there now so it didn’t help to see what beautiful weather we had outside.




Yesterday when I drove to work I noticed something like looked like a big dark stone by the side of the road just beside a big tree. I thought to myself that I’ve never seen a big stone there before so I slowed down considerable and suddenly three sows and twelve piglets came running across the road. The piglets had slowly started to change colors towards brown but I could still see the stripes and dots on their sides.




Today I drove really slowly there but no pigs. I found them beside the clearway a couple of hundred meters away instead. I drive to work an hour and a half earlier on Fridays so today I saw lots of animals close to the road, like deers, hares and some bigger birds. I never drive as fast as I’m allowed when I drive on the forest road and mornings like these show me how right that is π




I’ll do nothing at all for the rest of the day. I really should vacuum the entire cottage, mow the lawn and perhaps bake a bread in my new slow cooker but I refuse. I have four weeks to do that so why start today π π π I’ve already planned to have naps every day and even drink tea after 4 pm even though it might keep me awake all night. Those are the things one can do or skip to do when having vacation π




Have a great day!
Hi Christer,
It’s funny how you do sort of remember what’s in your daily landscapes even though you couldn’t describe it in any detail. But you notice when something is different. Not long ago, I glanced out my bathroom window and saw a reddish brown patch in the undergrowth way down in the swamp. I couldn’t recall a reddish brown patch there and thought it might be some dead foliage or something but I got out the binoculars anyway. I looked just in time to see the reddish brown patch walk away into the deeper undergrowth. It was the right haunch of a deer. π
Your vacation plans sound just fine to me. Enjoy!

Hi Caryn!
Yes it is π Somewhere in the brain something registers what it is supposed to look like and it can even be tiny things.
I thought those plans were just enough to still have a vacation π π π
Have a great day!
Christer.
