The hunting season started this week and the hunters has been out in the forest since Wednesday morning and will be out all day until Sunday evening. It’s the Roe deer buck hunting that starts but they will also hunt wild hogs. We have so many wild hogs here now and they’ve started to destroy the roads in the forest so I won’t complain if they shoot lots of them.
That however means we’ll not be able to take any walks until Monday. We could have if I had been able to stop Albin and Alma screaming and pulling the leash every time they see another animal, especially if it is moving but it’s just impossible to reach them when they are like that and if we’ll walk in the village we’ll see plenty of animals moving around and also a couple of joggers. I do have to say that Alma now days is much calmer than she used to be, actually so much that it’s hard to believe she’s the same dog.
It is fairly warm here now but a thick layer of clouds is covering the sky and they’re guessing it’ll be like that until Monday. The occasional shower will pass by as well and now I’m getting really tired of that rain. Why can’t it just fly to those places in need of rain instead of locking towards us all the time 🙂 🙂 Then again that’s better than to have that heatwave they once again will have in southern Europe, just as bad as the ones they’ve already had.
I really should use my brain when ordering something online. A couple of days ago I ordered two batteries to my old Nikon F75 camera. I could either have them delivered to the grocery store in Gudhem or shipped to my cottage. Well I really didn’t want to drive up there again just to fetch two batteries, each half the size of an AA battery, so I clicked that they should drive it here. It wasn’t until I already had clicked ok to the order that I realized that the shipping cost were three times as much as what the two batteries cost 🙂 🙂 🙂 What really annoyed me was the size of the package, You can see it in the photo below.
It is time for a last cup of tea for the day and after that I’ll most likely doze off in front of the tv 🙂
Have a great day!
The Cottage by the crane lake. 
They have to make the box look like something inside is worth shipping cost that is three times the cost of the batteries. 😉
I hadn’t realized that Venus Flytraps had flowers but, of course, they would have to have. They’re very pretty little flowers.
Creeping bellflower is considered invasive here so, of course, there is a lot of it around. I’ve even got some in my yard which doesn’t usually happen with the other invasive “weeds”. It went to seed already about two weeks ago.
Yesterday the weather here was dark and warm and sticky. Then it got darker and poured buckets. There were a couple of rolls of thunder, flash flood warnings, and a few tornadoes touched down a bit south of me. Today I’m wearing a light sweater and considering wool socks. 😄

Hi Caryn!
I guess You’re right about that 🙂 🙂 🙂
I had one flower last year as well but it flowered so late that I never got any seeds, I’m hoping for some this year 🙂 It really doesn’t look like what I thought it would considering how the rest of the plant looks 🙂 🙂
Since Creeping bellflower is a native flower it isn’t considered an invasive species, just a really annoying and hard to get rid off weed 🙂 I seem to have so many of those weeds in my garden that it actually has problems competing. It’s almost interesting to see which one of them is the strongest and to see if it is possible to get rid of the winner when there’s too much of it 🙂 🙂
Yesterday we actually had a rain free day!! Not so this morning, it has been pouring down for hours now.
Have a great day!
