Now I fear the phone when I’m working :-)

Nicer morning yesterday so I’ll start with some from then.

Now days when the phone rings while I’m working my anxiety levels rise quite high and when I see it’s my neighbors the level hits the roof 🙂 Especially since we are way too few painters at work right now, so I wasn’t especially happy when the phone rang and it was my neighbor 🙂 🙂 🙂

   

Yes she had escaped once again and this time the hole was so small that it even looked like it would be impossible for Malkolm to get out through it 🙂 My neighbors said that she sat down by the fence towards the gravel road and looked up the slope. She knows I’ll be coming home not too long after she has done this 🙂 🙂 🙂 I’m going to check the fence this weekend to make sure there are no weak spots left.

Grape elder. the flowers will soon open up, nothing special to be honest but they are usually the first and yellow so I like them a lot.
This is the place where Alma saw piglets for the first time and she’s always calm and quiet here so we go there quite often 🙂 🙂
Rowan tree leafs.

I have also noticed that one of the dogs, almost 100% sure it is Alma, has tried to dig her way out of the garage so now I’ve blocked that way with old car tires, with rims, and those are so heavy that it’ll take even her quite a lot of time to remove them before she can try again 🙂 🙂

 

Bog Myrtle in bloom. One of my favorite smells!

We’ve had rather nice weather today, lots of sunshine and slightly below 10 C (50 F).  The morning was a bit meh though, grey and dull and -2 C (28,4 F) so the car was covered in ice, easy to remove though. Nova wanted to go out to the bog today so out there we went. Lots of small birds singing but not a sound of any other animals, normally we can hear them run away when we come too close but today nothing.

I was going to photograph this when Malkolm jumped up on the tree stump 🙂

 

Tomorrow it’ll both rain and snow during the night, great because can one ever get too much water 🙂 🙂 🙂 Same temperature as today but no sunshine until late in the afternoon, on Sunday it’ll be really warm, too bad it couldn’t be the same tomorrow since I’m at home and would be able to enjoy it. Malkolm took a mud bath in the root zone (where all my dish water, shower water and washing water goes to be cleaned) so today he had his first bath. He now refuses to be close to me, didn’t even follow us up to the computer, he’s really grumpy and sleeps down stairs in the dog igloo 🙂 🙂 🙂

     

Have a great day!

    That darn Alma! I hope she isn’t teaching Malkolm bad habits!

      Hi ppekka!

      I’m sure she does 🙂 🙂 🙂 I just can’t figure out why she keeps on doing this since she won’t go anywhere and always wants to go back? Perhaps she just wants to show me that she could wander off if she really wanted to 🙂 🙂 🙂

    I noticed this about Alma the other day that her saddle is so solid black in photos that she looks like she has a dog blanket on.

    I’d be stressed at my phone, too. She’s learned to manipulate the work schedule. 🙂 Maybe you could find a way that someone could put her back in the yard or in their yard without you having to come home so that she unlearns this new annoying trick. It’s a dilemma.

    Beautiful, chilly day here today. There is a freeze warning out for tonight but the peonies are just going to have to deal. No more free range plastic bags. 😀

      Hi Caryn!
      Yes from a distance it does look that black but there are actually quite a lot of whitish hairs as well, from her white colored mother.
      The problem is that even though the hole is tiny she still would be able to get out from the inside but since she also bends it outwards she then makes it impossible to wrangle her way back in again 🙂 🙂 🙂 Well I’m going to renovate the place when the weather gets better so I do hope she doesn’t learn how to climb 🙂 When it comes to doing things she isn’t supposed to she really manages to concentrate enough to learn things 🙂 🙂 🙂

      I’m pretty sure the peonies will make it through the frost, they are much tougher than one might think 🙂 We had our first frost free night in weeks here, just barely but still 🙂 🙂
      I do wonder why I have to approve of You every time You comment here, it’s not like it’s the first time You do it 🙂
