So yesterday was mowing day and today it was filling the holes, or perhaps ravines is a better word, with gravel. We were four people with shovels and rakes and one with a tractor with a huge scoop. So we worked quite fast and effective to be honest. We might have worked for forty minutes but after we stood and spoke for at least an hour and a half 🙂 🙂 🙂
I was a bit worried about my back because it felt really bad this morning when I woke up but it didn’t bother me especially much at all to be honest. I am however a bit worried about my back right now because it really bothers me and I know this is nothing compared to how it will be tomorrow morning 🙂 🙂 🙂 Anyway now the job is done and now I hope I can start with how I planned this vacation to be, lots of napping and doing nothing 🙂 🙂
It was cool in the early morning when we went out on our morning walk and not a fly could be seen or heard but as soon as the sun started to heat up the air things changed rapidly. I’m glad I brought my mosquito hat because I think there were a gazillion flies just waiting to annoy us, no biting ones though, they all seems to have moved to my garden and the cows in the pasture beside. Lots of butterflies where we walk but none in my garden. Lots of bees though but to be honest they aren’t as beautiful as butterflies.
Tomorrow will be hot as well but the rain will arrive in the evening and with northern winds it will cool down quite a bit. The guessing about how much rain we’ll get varies quite a bit but at the moment the Norwegian site says almost an inch and the Swedish one four fifths of an inch. This morning they guessed we would barely get anything. One could say that we’ll know for sure about how much rain we’ve gotten afterwards but to be honest they usually says we’ve had a very different weather than we’ve actually have had 🙂 🙂 🙂 That’s what happens when they trust computer programs instead och checking the real world 🙂 🙂 🙂
I will need to go to the supermarket soon but I think I can wait until Tuesday when the weather won’t be anything else than rain anyway. I have enough to eat, I have enough with milk and I have enough with ice cream so I’m pretty sure my planned napping will happen tomorrow 🙂
Have a great day!

Everything looks so lush and green and beautiful. I really love this season when the flowers are blooming, and the world is in color.
We may have rain tomorrow and a bit less humidity, but the humidity will be back on Tuesday. The weather has been dreadful. This is usually our August weather.
We don’t get all that many bugs around the houses, but they are plentiful near the woods. That is the territory of the biting flies. I used to talk there. I don’t anymore.
Take care!

Hi Kat!
I’m a bit surprised that not more trees and bushes went yellow because of the drought. I guess it helps to live close to a bog where it takes its time to become really dry. There are however much fewer wild flowers in bloom this summer, not even the Dogbuscuits became especially many and even Yarrow are fewer than usual. Perhaps things change now when the rains have started to arrive.
Thin clouds cover the sky but the sun manages to shine through them. Rain is on the way and they say that some places might get up to three inches in the worst showers. Well I want rain but three inches at the same time is a bit much 🙂 🙂 🙂
Yes the forest and bog does give the flies here a piece of heaven to be honest. Still not that many biting ones but even one biting fly is one too many 🙂 🙂 🙂
Have a great day!
