We’ve had rather nice weather here this week, a bit cold perhaps and with both snowfall and hail but the sun has been shining quite a lot as well. Today was even better because finally it became a bit warmer again, that is after a nasty cold morning though.Thick and hard ice covered the car, so thick that the rising sun didn’t have a chance to soften it up before I had to go to work. We also hade a rather thick fog so I brought the camera with me and stopped by the lake for a few seconds.
Alma has behaved unusually well on our walks this week! She’s extremely stressed about having to walk in the same pace as the rest of us but I can see that she’s really trying. Every now and again she flips out though but I will not complain or get angry at her those times. Compared to how she has behaved these last two years this last week has been wonderful 🙂 So I’ve started to think that she actually might not come from hell just to make my life miserable after all 🙂 🙂 🙂 She even stopped screaming like insane after just a few minutes after she saw a hare running in front of us, before she kept on screaming like insane for the rest of the walk which could be as long as two hours 🙂
Now when my closest neighbors have gotten a second child they’ve been talking about moving to a bigger house or make this one bigger. It looked like they finally had decided to move and I wasn’t happy about it, they are amazing neighbors! but when they sat down and started to write down things about the cottage to a realtor they suddenly felt that they weren’t ready to move after all so guess if I’m happy 🙂 I can never get that good neighbors again, I just don’t have that kind of luck to be honest 🙂 So now can Alma continue to jump over to the neighbor to play with their eldest daughter 🙂
I know that I don’t have space for any more trees in my garden so I guess that’s why I ordered a new one 🙂 🙂 This time it’s a Persimmon hybrid (crossed with its relative Kaki Persimmon). It isn’t as hardy as the American one though but I can’t find any “real” Persimmons for sale over here in Europe. I already have a few smaller trees in pots waiting to be planted but I’ll prioritize this one and the Pawpaw that also is waiting for a place to live 🙂 🙂 🙂 (plus I have seeds for more trees so I guess I really need to win the lottery so that I can buy lots of land so I can plant all the trees I already have plus all the ones I know I’ll be buying in the future 🙂 🙂 🙂
Have a great day!
The Cottage by the crane lake. 
Good for Alma for calming down a bit. Lucky for you that your good neighbors have decided to stay for a bit longer. Good neighbors are hard to find.
I need to plant a tree on the west side of my house because I need shade over there. I can’t decide what I want tree to get or even where I should put it. This indecision has been going on for so long that if I’d done it when I first thought of it, I’d have shade by now. 😄
There was thick fog here early this morning. The swamp was full of it. But it was 5 AM and I didn’t want to go out photographing that early. The fog was gone by 7AM.
Your photos are lovely. They look antique.

Hi Caryn!
and especially good for me because that could mean that my shoulders will last for longer without surgery 🙂 🙂 🙂
I’ve been lucky with neighbors so far that only one was a piece of shit, the rest tolerable and these great 🙂 I don’t think I would have that luck one more time 🙂
Now days I usually chose tree after what kind of edible it will give me 🙂 and that it hopefully won’t spread too much 🙂
Our fog lasted until shortly after I left for work, at 6 am, I could see how it vanished down by the lake as soon as the sun could reach through it.
Thanks 🙂
Have a great day!
