Another snowstorm passed by yesterday, must have been the third in four days, so ow the world is covered in white garbage again. I do have to say though that the days has been rather wonderful with sunshine and above freezing temperatures. The photo shows the morning mist we got and it was better than nothing 🙂 🙂 🙂 They’re guessing that we’ll continue to have this weather until at least Thursday, with cold nights but sunny and warm days, after that the cold nights most likely will give up and most likely the sunshine as well but to be honest they aren’t that great in guessing the weather over here so a new ice age might start before the week is over 🙂
We now have a pack of wolves that made my county their territory. Their sort of home area isn’t that far south of the town Falköping so I guess we’ll have many more visits from them in the future unless hunters do what they usually do and poach them. Hunters can be nice people but they really don’t like competition about the wild life they themselves wants to kill. I do know however that the hunters in my village wouldn’t shoot them, they are usually the first ones to see the wolves and then spread the news to us in the village so we all can keep our eyes open and see them ourselves. No such luck for me yet but I know that at least one followed us, out of sight, at at least one of our walks because the dogs clearly showed me that something was close to us for quite some distance and they really didn’t like it.
More and more cranes arrive now and so does the crane tourists. long time since I saw that many caravans and mobile homes down by the lake. Lots of other birds arrive here too of course and I do hope that I one day will see at least one of the very few Black Storks that comes here every year. I know that they one year actually nested here but that’s very rare. They are usually more at home on the other side of the Baltic sea.
Last year I bought a pair of shoes that were nasty expensive but they were the most comfortable shoes I’ve ever walked in. Unfortunately the price didn’t show that they were a high quality shoes, I guess they lasted a month or so and the reviews of the company showed that there was no use in trying to send them back or get a new pair. Turns out that the soles just were glued on and with a low quality glue as well. So I’ve been looking at the shoes with some kind of disgust 🙂 until I realized that if I tore the soles off they would work very well as slippers instead 🙂 So now I instead have really comfortable slippers 🙂 🙂 Still to be honest they weren’t worth the price but now I can at least use them again.
It’s time to make dinner for the dogs so see You tomorrow again.
Have a great day!

Christer,
I love those fog pictures. I like the snow pictures only because I didn’t really have much this year. Snow is pretty at first, but it doesn’t take long before it is trampled and dirty.
You would have love the spots in Ghana in the markets where they repaired shoes. I brought a pair of sandals with me with the same glued bottoms. In the market the man repaired the sandals by putting pieces of tire on the bottom. They totally lasted. I even brought them home.
My dogs are both young. Henry is around four and a half while Nana is only three. Boxers don’t have long lives. Gracie was the oldest at 12. I don’t know how long Henry will be with me. He is a bigger dog, and I know that’s a consideration of length of life.
We have no wolves here, but we do have coyotes. Most of them are big and healthy looking. I used to see them on my way to school. Now, I just hear them.
Take care!!

Hi Kat!
Morning fog is my favorite weather, especially if the sun shines through.
I’m sure I would have loved those spots 🙂 It’s hard to find anyone that can repair shoes now days. I lived close to one when I lived in Gothenburg. He was expensive but so worth it!
Albin is the same size as Nova so I’m hoping he’ll stay just as long as she will. Alma however is really big and all my big dogs have lived until at least twelve years, usually a bit longer.
We might have a new species here called Golden jackal, it is slightly bigger than a red fox and since it has come here by its own and not via fur farms they aren’t allowed to hunt it 🙂 I have seen paw prints that look exactly like from a fox but too big so we might even have it here already. I do hope I can take a photo of it if that’s the case 🙂
Have a great day!
Christer.
