I almost forgot to write something here today. I can’t say that I’ve been very busy but I’ve been doing things all day but in a slow but steady pace. We’ve been out on our walks so now we all have plenty more mosquito bites but it looks like the dogs don’t feel the itching either any more. Now the mosquitoes are mostly just annoying. The ticks however are everywhere right now. I pick the occasional one from Nova and Albin but I pick at least ten from Alma after each walk. I miss very few though so it feels like I’m in control 🙂 🙂

I’ve done the laundry like always and also dinner for next week at work plus I baked some Sorghum (and Teff) scones. They actually taste pretty close to normal ones. If I don’t have any Teff flour at home I’ll use either corn or rice flour. They are a bit dry no matter what flour I use but the taste is good. I’ve also had a whole chicken in the slow cooker, not for me but the dogs. It looks like Albin now is allergic to Tuna. Every time he gets some in his food the eczema blows up again. He has been able to eat chicken before so I’ll give them all some tomorrow and see what happens.

I’ve watered the vegetable and potato patches and also the trees I’ve planted and the pots I have with different citrus trees and the potato sprouts I planted. It looks like nothing will happen in one of those pots with potato sprouts so now I can plant something else in it 🙂 I bought more soil on Friday, turns out they had plenty at the grocery store in the village where I work, I’ve just not been able to see it. I usually park at the side of the store, no doors and windows there. This time however I parked the car in front of the entrance and they had a couple of pallets with soil on the other side of the doors 🙂 🙂

So that’s what I’ve been doing, not much but sort of continuously. I’ve also tried to photograph the Hornets that now comes to a Cotoneaster I have in the garden. They love the flowers on it. To be honest the entire bush is sort of ugly and the flowers are tiny but the Hornets just can’t resist them 🙂 🙂 I’ve read that they mostly drink sap from trees and very rarely nectar from flowers so that ugly little bush will stay 🙂 Hornets eats lots of flies (and unfortunately also some of the Beekeepers bees) and anything that eat flies are best friends of mine 🙂

Have a great day!
