We’ve had a really nice day here. Sunshine all day and just enough warm to have the kitchen door open all day. It has also been a bit windy but the wind has been lukewarm and just enough strong to keep the flies and mosquitoes away but not so strong that it was unpleasant to be outside.
We went down to the creek and in to the forest this morning. Birds were tweeting and Alma behaved really well. Some Jays started to scream like crazy but I guess that is what Jays do best, their Swedish name would be Nut Screamer in English and well the name says what they do, scream like nuts 🙂 🙂 🙂
I’ve started to dig up my own potatoes now, we still haven’t had any frost so I’ll just take up enough for a week at a time now. The sowing potatoes I bought were quite small so now I mostly pick up a few but rather big ones. New varieties for me but they taste good enough so I’ll but the same ones next year. They are both resistent to almost all things that can hit a potato so the risk of getting bad ones are minimal.
Unlike so many vegetables today potatoes doesn’t suffer by not looking good enough. Nowdays they grow vegetables that look good but quite often taste really sad, that’s nothing that seems to have hit the potatoes yet, instead even though the new ones are resistant to most pests they still taste rather good.
I’ve also napped and done the rest of the laundry. WE had pancake Saturday yesterday so I didn’t feel like making any today and I still haven’t made any dinner so I think I might skip it 🙂 I’ll have hard bread with blue cheese and ham instead 🙂
Have a great day!
