Yesterday morning.

We’ve had a rather nice day here. According to the weather sites it should have started sunny and pretty early on slowly turn towards cloudy, so I wasn’t the least surprised when it started cloudy but then slowly turned towards sunny πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ We had a few hours of sunshine and the temperature rose to around 20C (68F) quite perfect really πŸ™‚

I didn’t need to water anything today because yesterday night we had some rain falling and since it was as cool as it was the ground still was pretty wet. I do however need to check anything cabbage because now is the time that both the Cabbage butterfly and Cabbage moth lays their eggs on anything that is cabbage or in that family. I just scrape off the eggs laid on the undersides of the leafs and I also spray water mixed with soap so that any egg that I might miss will be covered and therefore will suffocate because the soap won’t let any oxygen through.

We walked sown to the creek and a bit up stream but stayed away from the high grass and bushes because this is a tick year. Albin rarely have any but both Nova and Alma are tick magnets, so the first thing I do when we come home is to comb through their fur with a very dense comb almost like a louse comb. None today but there’s always one or two that I miss so I’ll do it again later today. Nova is back to normal again after the ear infection but I must admit that I was worried there for a while.

They’ve now removed almost all branches and twigs after the deforestation.

There’s still some logs left but the big pile will become pellets and briquettes fore fire heaters.

We’ll have a couple of days with below 20C (68F) temperatures and tomorrow we’ll also get lots of rain, if they are guessing it right but one never knows about that. They have risen the amount of rain for every update but right now they’re guessing we will get an inch of it. I don’t mind at all but I do hope it starts out gentle so that the ground gets moist first and therefore can let the rest of the rain actually sink down into the ground and not just run away in to creeks and ponds/ lakes (or in my case the bog/ swamp behind the garage).

I ordered a new harness for Alma, she’s becoming too big for the one she has and I did it the 17/7. Normally it will take five days or so to get it delivered but this one takes its time. I can check the status of the order and it turns out that the one I buy it from buys it from Canada. They however order if from China. So I have now been following it as an order from Sweden to Canada, then the order went to Shanghai where it finally was packed. Now it looks like it’s shipped to Canada and after that to Sweden and hopefully me πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ It says something about it arriving in seven days πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ To be honest I thought that the seller at least had a couple of each size in stock but oh how wrong I was πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚

I’ve found even more grapes to be πŸ™‚

This is a kind of Lime tree where the fruits doesn’t give wedges but instead it looks like some green kind of caviar πŸ™‚ I almost killed it last winter so I’m just happy that it has survived πŸ™‚

  1. Hi Christer,
    That ridge where they had all the branches looks like where the Wow trees were. I haven’t thought about them in a while. Are they gone?
    When they predict rain after a long dry spell I go out and premoisten the places where I’d like water to hang around for awhile. It’s pointless but it gives me some psychic satisfaction to pretend I have some control. πŸ˜„
    It’s 99⁰F here and it might hit 100⁰. I put out bird watering bowls in shady places but the water’s probably boiling anyway. πŸ™„
    Have a great day.

    1. Hi Caryn!

      It isn’t that place so the Wow trees are still there πŸ™‚

      I’ve done the same πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ Like You I at least feel that I’ve done something to at least that place πŸ™‚ but if we’re right and it actually does some good than my vegetable patch, potato patch, peach tree, apricot tree and my both pawpaw tress will get plenty to drink after this rain πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ They are now guessing we’ll get well over 3 cm rain today!

      One can only hope that water will do some good before it boils away πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ I do hope it cools down soon!

      Have a great day!

      Christer.
