Back to rain again.

Lots of acorns this year.

We actually had quite nice weather here this week, until yesterday when it poured down  most of the day . This morning was rain free but thick clouds covered the sky so it almost felt like the sun had disappeared behind the horizon and that night was on its way. Well now it’s a bit darker and the rain has started to fall. We might get up to 35mm (one and two fifths inches). It all depends on where the heaviest showers will pass.

Quite misty up on the mountain today.

Nova decided that we should walk in the forest and out to the bog.

I now have the radiators on a couple of hours each day, yesterday because it was cold but mostly because everything is damp with all this rain falling. Still I wouldn’t want to change to how hot it is in some places on the American continents or southern Europe to be honest.

Autumn has arrived. This place was bright yellow last week.

Alma just stood by my side whining a lot because she wanted to go outside. I opened the door and she together with Albin rushed out, stopped immediately when they got wet from the rain and rushed inside again 🙂 🙂 🙂 They ran up to my bed as soon as they had come inside again 🙂 🙂 🙂 Those two wouldn’t survive for long in the wild 🙂 🙂 🙂

The bear hunt has started in northern Sweden and at least three people are already injured because the bears attacked them. I don’t know if they want sympathy when talking in the news or to news papers but to be honest, if You actually isn’t knowing how bears react when being hunted, often with dogs chasing them, You really shouldn’t be out there hunting bears. These are often the people who call them selves nature conservationist claiming that they hunt to make sure there aren’t too many herbivores eating too much of the trees and the rest of the vegetation.

Then when nature is coming back and takes care of that problem they go on about those predators taking too many herbivores so there’s nothing left for them to hunt 🙂 🙂 🙂 I could perhaps respect them if they stopped being such hypocrits. They also hunt foxes because they eat too many fawns but then when they heard that we might have a new predator, the Golden jakal (slightly bigger than the fox and eat much the same things) they started to scream about how it will reduce the ammount of foxes! There is a fun thing about the jackals though, hunters aren’t allowed to hunt them since they naturally have migrated to this country and is natural to Europe. It would have been a different thing if they had escaped from fur farms in Europe and not being a natural habitant in the part of the world.

I found some Hedgehog mushrooms today and these are just as delicious as the Chanterelles. Therefore one pick them even though one hasn’t anything to put them in besides the big pocket of the hoodie one wears 🙂 🙂

It is time for something to eat and after that I’ll do something that I might show here later 🙂 I’ll tell You more about it some other time 🙂

Have a great day!

  1. You need to keep a folded up bag of some kind in your jacket pockets for serendipitous foraging like this. 🙂
    I suspect most hunters are as you describe. They think they should be the only predators allowed.
    Yesterday was nothing but rain of varying levels of intensity. I took the dogs out once when it appeared to have stopped. We just walked around the perimeter of the property. The heavens opened up again when we were almost back at the door. Blow drying and toweling for all.

    1. Hi Caryn!
      Yes I really should but once it is out of my pockets I would need to remember to put it back again when I picked out all the mushrooms 🙂 🙂 🙂
      I must admit that “our” hunters seems to be the good ones, they always tell me when they’ve seen wolves or the lynx and how exciting it was 🙂 Still of course they believe that they are put on this earth to keep the balance in nature, god forbid that the animals themselves should do it 🙂 🙂 🙂

      I open the door now and again for the dogs but they just takes a look outside and refuses to go out 🙂 🙂 Oddly enough are puddles really fun to splash in says Alma 🙂

      Have a great day!
