Thunder and rain.

Written by Christer.
Clouds are fascinating, I’m pretty sure this will grow up to a thunder cloud.

Thunder and rain again, at work the rain poured sown and thunder passed just outside the village. It doesn’t look as we had much rain here though and only the sound from the thunder reached this village. The rain did arrive shortly after I came home though and now we get the occasional shower passing by. They’re guessing we’ll have rain on and off all evening but tomorrow and Saturday will be rain free, well with our weather services that can mean anything but I do hope snow is out of the question 🙂

This is how a Gardenia looks like in nature, the same smell but the flower lasts less. One of my seed sown ones.
A Camellia flower that fell of the potted plant.
You see those white tipped leafs? They come from the male hardy kiwi vine. This one is so big that it almost has grown to the top of the apple tree behind it 🙂 The female ones froze this winter and has started to grow again. It’ll take many years until I get any kiwi fruits 🙂 🙂

I was so tired yesterday that I didn’t have energy to even write a blog, must be pollen because I did sleep like a that night and again last night. Alma hasn’t escaped the dog yard in a couple of days now but I did noticed that she had searched for a weak spot in several places. I fixed those and today there were no signs of her trying again. It’s just a matter of time though 🙂 🙂 She and Malkolm plays all day and now when they can’t be outside because of the rain they play just as wild indoors. No problems really unless Malkolm suddenly needs to pee because when he notice that he doesn’t have much time, if I don’t understand that immediately he will pee on the floor 🙂 🙂 I was just about to haste down to the door when he returned with one of my woolen socks 🙂 I traded it with an old handkerchief instead 🙂

     

Isn’t it strange how plants no matter how much one water and fertilize them always grow much better when it has rained? I looked at my small apricot trees and I have been watering and given them fertilizer all the time and nothing much has happened, they a couple of days with rain and they grow like crazy!Personally I feel it wouldn’t do much difference but the plants show it does. We almost always have a very high humidity here so that shouldn’t do any difference but rain and high humidity together might be so much better.

Yellow day-lilies. I used to have four different but only the yellow ones are still here, so by that I mean I have two different yellow ones 🙂
The residues of my woodland. Few flowers left but now it’s home to the Pawpaw trees, a Ginkgo and the rhododendron Catawbiense.
The little green dot grows bigger from the root of the Hybrid Persimmon that died 🙂
The surviving Pawpaw now has several small green dots which means leafs and new growth 🙂

The first Mock orange flower.
The Yellow flag also have buds now.

It is time to go downstairs to watch the news, not much else to watch tonight. Well the Diamond league, competing in athletics might be something to watch because we do have a couple of Swedes competing, if boring it’s perfect to fall asleep to 🙂

     

Have a great day!
