Finally a chilly night.

September 15, 2023

The temperature had dropped down to 5C (41F) when I drove home after work last night and we all loved it 🙂 After staying in a way too hot factory for so many hours the cold air made us less tired. Good thing it did because when I drove homewards I had to break hard three times. Two times because deer was passing the road and once for a hare. There was a fox passing to but from a place much further down the road.

Nova wanted to go out to the peninsula at the bog today but I managed to make a turn andd walk down the path to the island we like to walk at.

I wasn’t sure it would be dry enough to even walk that way but it was just enough dry and hard to walk there.

The big creek is still full of water but this creek was actually less full than I thought it would be.

So because of the cold air last night was the first time in a very long time I wasn’t attacked by mosquitoes when I went out of the car, this morning was cool as well but a few mosquitoes didn’t care about that, so now I have a new itching spot on my right hand. So far it looks like this isn’t a moose fly year. We went down to the bog this morning and not a single one landed on either me or my dogs. I really wouldn’t be sad the least if those nasty things just died out 🙂 🙂 🙂

I have been really tired today though even though I slept really well and just enough hours. So after I had been at the grocery store in Gudhem to pick up a package I took a two hour long nap in my recliner. To be honest, two hours sleeping in a recliner is a bit too long. Yes it is comfortable but since one doesn’t move at all the body really aches afterwards 🙂 🙂

It does look dry enough to walk there but I won’t do that mistake again. The mud is knee deep and jumping from one grass tufft to another is great as long as one doesn’t loose ones balance 🙂 🙂

The package I was picking up contained an old Kodak SLR camera. I really didn’t want the camera but I wanted the two lenses that followed with it (I haven’t checked if the camera works, to be honest I haven’t even looked at it yet 🙂 ). The only problem now is that I actually can’t find the camera I wanted those lenses for 🙂 🙂 🙂 Well it’s here somewhere so sooner or later I’ll find it.

Next year I’ll plant the Gladiolus along the east wall of my cottage, there’s less wind there so it’ll be easier to keep them standing up.

The Nasturtiums are finally taking over the old wheel barrow.

The Red leafed rose still gives a flower or two.

This year we even get a chance to see the Jerusalem artichoke in bloom.

Besides that very little has happened here. I do get more hours awake with the dogs working evening shift and it looks like I’ve managed to change the hours I sleep to fit my working hours but I also know that if I stopped working I’ll go back to my old self within a day 🙂

Have a great day!

The nights have been cool this past week. It’s so refreshing after that heat wave we had at the end of August and first few days of September. My AC had been off almost all summer but was running 24/7 this time.
It irks me when I buy something to use with another thing and I’ve put that other thing somewhere so “safe” that I don’t remember where it is. If you’re like me, you’ll find the camera and not remember where you put the lenses.😄

  Hi Caryn!
  
  We haven’t had anything like Your heat here but it has been unusually warm for us and it takes forever to cool down the factory now when the oven and warm washing machine works all the time. So these cool nights have been longed for. Still we don’t want winter to arrive at all 🙂 🙂 🙂
  
  Yes I’m sure You’re right 🙂 🙂 🙂 The cottage is small but I sure am able to put things where I can’t find them again 🙂 🙂 🙂
  
  Have a great day!
