The morning was really nice anyway :-)

Written by Christer.

The weather has been really mixed today. The morning was cool and nice with the sun warming up the air rather quickly, later on the clouds arrived and with it heavy showers but lots of sunshine in between. Now we have sunshine and rain at the same time 🙂 Thunder was heading towards us but went north on the other side of the mountain.

The cattle have now moved on to the pasture beside the one behind the beekeepers cottage and that means the road still is blocked with electric wires so therefore much more difficult to walk along the creek.
We saw this deer buck on our way to the bog. Well I can see that it is more or less impossible to see it in this photos 🙂 🙂 🙂

Besides the morning walk I’ve spent most of my first day of vacation with having a long nap 🙂 I’ve had a cold for quite some time now, it has spread all over the country it seems, so I’ve been unusually tired this summer. I’m hit much less hard than most who have had it but instead had it for a longer time. I didn’t miss much while I, well we, were asleep. Every time it stops raining I’ve had the kitchen door open but the dogs have refused to go outside, they were caught in a shower early in the morning that not even Malkolm liked 🙂 🙂 and they wouldn’t do that mistake again 🙂 🙂 🙂

     

Both the big weather sites are guessing we’ll have a rain free day tomorrow but loads of rain on Wednesday. I’ll have to go to a grocery store as well, I should have done that today but I looked in the fridge and decided I have enough at home to last until tomorrow 🙂 My neighbors did the same but decided to go today so they don’t need to go for the rest of the week instead 🙂 We all started our vacation today and none of us want to do anything unnecessary during these weeks.

     

I already have three composts but I ordered a new one today, a kind of tumbler. It is black and is supposed to stand in sunshine so it becomes a hot compost. One puts in the material, could be grass or what ever comes from the garden or kitchen, turns it around a couple of times and leave it until next time. This will make compost much faster than the other warm/ hot composts. I bought it mostly because I have a family of mice in one of the old ones and lots of ants in the second old one. I’ve tried to make them move by pouring lots of water through it but they refuse, plus it is hard to open up so I can use what’s in it 🙂 🙂 🙂

This is most likely not a Creeping bluebell because the flower grow out from the stalk n several sides of it.
This is a Creeping bluebell because the flowers all grow out from the same side of the stalk. Almost impossible to see the difference otherwise but my guess is that they both spread just as happily 🙂

I better start writing a list of what I need to buy tomorrow and put it in my wallet already today so I won’t leave it at home as I so often do 🙂 It is so much more expensive to forget that list because I keep guessing what I might need and come home with so much more and most of it is something I really don’t need 🙂 🙂

The peas are in bloom and have started to grow over to their neighbors 🙂 🙂
Malkolm is now almost as high as Nova is 🙂   

Have a great day!

  2. The growth in Malkolm’s height is really becoming noticeable. I’m so glad you can luxuriate in your first couple of vacation days, enjoy naps whenever you wish and choosing whether to do certain things like shopping or not.

    1. Hi Denali Sam!

      It is and I worry that he’s growing too fast for what’s good for his joints, then again he’s anything but over weight so perhaps I worry unnecessary?

      That’s the great thing with vacation, I can do what I want when ever I want 🙂 Well the weather chose for me many times 🙂 🙂

  3. I hate grocery shopping. Well, not so much the shopping itself, but the lugging heavy bags and putting everything away. So, I put it off and off and off until I’m out of everything, and then I have to do a huge shopping and have MORE bags and stuff to put away than if I went more often. It’s a no-win.

    1. Hi catsworking!

      I like it in the grocery store I always go to during work weeks. I know the entire staff and where I can find almost everything plus that I can order stuff they usually don’t have, that’s impossible in the big super markets.

      That’s usually what happens during my vacations, I have to buy so much more and the bags get too heavy and if it rains and I have paper bags I don’t always make it to the door 🙂 🙂 🙂

  4. Malcolm has the body of a lab but the coloring of a Rottweiler. He might keep growing for awhile. Hope you don’t get the weather from the hurricane. Have a nice Vacation and get over that cold. Nothing worse than being sick while vacationing.

    1. Hi ppekka!

      🙂
      I will. I saw one home made somewhere on YouTube long ago and have always thought of making one myself but never come around to do it, also this one that I’ve bought is much better than anyone I could have done anyway 🙂 🙂 :-),

  6. Beautiful photos, as always. Love your flowers, love the foxglove composition, the lovely web and twinkling rain (or dewdrops), sun rays, the deer, veg…and Malkolm has such a sweet, dear face.

    Thank you, C! 🙏🏻🙏🏻😊😊
