We had meh weather here this morning. It wasn’t cold but not especially warm either, It was cloudy but it didn’t rain and no gaps in the clouds where the sun had a chance to shine through but it was still kind of nice. Nova wanted to go out to the bog but I thought that we had been there almost too often lately so we walked down to the creek instead. Then she wanted to walk in to the forest there but I managed to persuade her to follow the creek down-stream instead. I was a bit surprised that she wasn’t cranky for the rest of the walk because she usually is when she doesn’t get her way 🙂 🙂

We were out to the bog yesterday morning, the hunters weren’t out at all. Yesterday we had a lovely but somewhat chilly day here so it was nice to walk in the forest where the ever lasting wind couldn’t reach us that well. We walked out to the bog and on our way back, Nova walked like always ten meters ahead of the rest of us, suddenly a huge wild hog bor rushed out from the bushes beside the path we were walking on and in the the bushes on the other side 🙂 🙂 🙂 It happened so fast that neither Nova nor Albin even noticed it 🙂 🙂 Alma did however and for a couple of minutes she was screaming like obcessed and then suddenly calmed down like nothing had happened 🙂 🙂 🙂

I think that we might have reached the end of the moose fly season now. Not a single one landed on me or the dogs yesterday or today. The mosquitoes are all gone so it would be nice if we from now on also could be moose fly free as well. Still ticks though but very few, it is getting too chilly for them as well. Wasps however seems to find their way in to my home every day now though. Every now and again a big wasp queen tries to fly through my windows and I have to catch and release them. They do a lot of good by eating flies all summer so if I can save them I’ll do it.

The only orchid I now have has been hanging in the apple tree all summer. I’ve watered it once or twice but that’s it. I brought it in just before the last frost and hung it by my kitchen door. I was looking at it yesterday when I was thinking it perhaps was time to water it again. It did look a bit odd and then I realized that what I looked at was a bunch of flower buds. If I see the signs right there is at least three more bunches on the way. Many months earlier than I though any would show but who cares 🙂 🙂 I almost broke the stem when I lowered the pot in to a bucket full with rain water 🙂 🙂 I really need to replant is and perhaps divide it in to two or four new plants but when ever I do that to orchids they die, also I have no idea what kind of soil or substrate it should grow in. Well I don’t need to think about that until after the new year has started.

Have a great day!
