I’m not sure if we’re having a storm but the winds are strong and the gusts roar through the forest. The winds even reach my garden and that’s unusual. We had rain almost all morning, except for when we were out on our morning walk, it started shortly after we had come home so I took a long nap while it continued to rain for a couple of hours 🙂
After that we’ve had sunshine, some showers and grey skies so one can’t say that the weather has been boring 🙂 More rain is on the way and it’ll pour down tomorrow plus the wind will stay they say. I really don’t mind to be honest, I can’t do anything outside so I’ll nap instead 🙂 🙂 🙂 Alma is bored though, especially since the little girl next door also stays indoors during this weather.
Nova wasn’t allowed to walk along the creek this morning because we would have been soaking wet after just a couple of steps, so instead I told her that we would continue on the gravel road. She didn’t like that at all 🙂 🙂 🙂 and when I noticed that her knee support had broken and I wanted ti fix it she just refused to come to me, even started to run away from me when I tried to fix it. So the little lady is pretty cranky, has been that all day 🙂 🙂 🙂 Albin on the other hand is sad because I scolded him. If was after we had come home and I had to clean his ear.
I know he hates that but I really needed to do it since he shook his head all the time. I poured in the cleaning fluid and started to massage the ear when he just had to shake his head violently. I really tried to hold him still but he’s strong 🙂 🙂 🙂 Now my entire kitchen is full of oily drops and his entire head is too. He always get sad if I scold him and has continued to stay that way all day. So one angry old lady, one sad old man and one really bored girl have been rather annoying all day 🙂 🙂 🙂
I think I will take one more walk around the garden before the next rain arrives. The coming week will have some rain but it’ll mostly be sunny and around 19C-20C (66F-68F) and that sounds rather nice 🙂 It looks like we’ll have a normal Swedish summer for once 🙂
Have a great day!

Wow. A houseful of grumpy kids on a rainy day. Napping is probably the best idea.
Here it is dark, windy, pouring rain, and occasional thunder. There are tornado warnings, flash flood warnings, severe storm warnings. So far the worst stuff has passed to the west but the rain is steady and sometimes heavy. The boys and I have been outside. I spent time pulling walnuts off the lower branches of the old tree. They weigh the branches down a lot. I didn’t want them breaking with the added water and wind. We were kind of wet but the blow dryer fixed it.

Hi Caryn!
Napping was an especially good idea yesterday but is always good to be honest 🙂 🙂 🙂
The weather here was musch the same as yesterday but with stronger winds, heavier showers and lots of thunder. The wind is still here, I’m a bit tired of it now but the sun is shining so it’s rather nice outside.
Yes water make things weigh so much more, many doesn’t seem to understand that. I wish I could have been able to pull of walnuts in my trees 🙂 🙂 🙂 Well I can always hope for next year 🙂
Have a great day!

Christer,
Henry has two moods: angry and happy, nothing in between. When he is happy, his whole body wags. When he is angry, he growls, and I keep an eye on him. Nala also hates to be reprimanded. Her ears go back, and she looks chagrined.
We had rain today, but I missed it. It was a quiet rain so I didn’t hear it falling. It did cool what was a hot day. I even turned off my air conditioner.
I finally was able to throw the skunk tail over the fence so Nala no longer comes inside freshly smelling of skunk from carrying the tail.
It is supposed to rain again tonight

Hi Kat!
All my dogs have a big variety of moods thankfully 🙂
The weather here was much the same as yesterday but with stronger winds, heavier showers and lots of thunder. I’m a bit tired of the wind now, it doesn’t have to stop totally, just calm down some 🙂
Great that You found the tail! I know how bad fox pee smells and it’s really bad so I don’t think I even can imagine how bad a skunk smells, even if it has been dead for a while 🙂 🙂
Have a great day!
