We didn’t have any sunshine in the early morning but it was cool and nice when we went out for our morning walk. I don’t think Nova thought it was necessary to have any walk because today she really waked slowly, it wasn’t until she realized that we were heading homewards that she had speed in her feet 🙂 Fewer birds are singing now, they know they won’t have time for more chicks so they stop singing and I can see in the sky that many now are preparing for the move south. Not that they will move any time soon but they are flying around in big flocks trying to find the best feeding places.
I went to the grocery store after our walk, I went to the one I always go to in the village where I work. It’s a longer drive but a more beautiful drive. They have less to chose from but I know what I want and I know where to find it and that’s important to me 🙂 I really dislike when I have to walk around for half an hour in a super market to find just one thing 🙂 🙂 Also I know all who works there, I’ve been buying my food there since I moved up here and that’s almost 27 years now. So instead of walking around trying to find what I want I instead have chats with those working there and it takes about the same time 🙂 🙂
I had a small hope that the grass in my lawn would dry up some today but that didn’t happen 🙂 Normally it takes around an hour or so to mow the lawn but today it took twice as long. The mower clogged up so badly that I had to stop mowing, turn the mower up side down and dig out the green goo and I really don’t like that. Lots of flies that for once wasn’t that interested in annoying me and one horse fly that I hit several times while it flew in front of me that I truly hope that it at least got a concussion. It did bite me once though.
I also stopped to drink lots of water while I was mowing, today has been warm and the wind I so desperately wanted to blow into my garden while I was mowing finally showed up just a moment ago, not much of a wind to be honest but it would have been better if it had blown earlier today. I still have the parts outside my garden but I’ll mow those tomorrow. It’ll be even warmer tomorrow and on Sunday if they’re guessing it right. On Monday it’ll cool down some and we’ll have rain again. The rest of the week will be warm but not hot and of curse it will rain some as well. June, July and August are the months when we get most Precipitation in the year so I’m not surprised about it raining but I am surprised about how much we’ve gotten. In some places, like here where I live we now have over full ground water deposits, that’s why I still have that lake behind my garage instead of a swamp.
It is time for a last cup of tea before bedtime. The dogs are all sleeping here upstairs but I’m not ready to go to bed yet. I doubt that there’s anything worth watching on tv but I’ll take a look anyway.
Have a great day!

I do hate the green goo. It’s been on the dry side here and, with the high heat, the lawn is looking tired. On the plus side, I haven’t had to do a full mow in over a week. There are some shaggy places but I can take the string trimmer to them. I do that when the lawn is too wet to mow, too, but I only do areas close to the house. The string trimmer doesn’t collect green goo the same way the mower does.
Today is lovely. It’s 73F which is about 20 degrees F cooler than it’s been for the last week or so. It’s great to have AC but it’s nice not to have to hear it running all day and night, too. Great for the electric bill, also.
Alma and Malkolm really like to play hard.

Hi Caryn!
So true, that’s the good thing with the string trimmer! I have however now seen different metal things one can put on the trimmer instead of the string that always break too easily and I’ll see if I can find one that fits on my trimmer. The commercials make it look like one can cut down small trees 🙂 🙂 but I would be happy if they just could cut away lots of lilacs and the false spiraea that divides mine and my neighbors gardens, it is actually easy to just pull up but the roots grow criss-cross and it’s just annoying 🙂 🙂
Warm today, so warm that we only had our morning walk, the dogs have mostly been sleeping all day, I am however happy that our really warm is nothing compared to Yours really warm 🙂 🙂 🙂 My electric bill is now 80% taxes and fees so the real price is almost like it was before we suddenly should pay what they pay down in Europe.
Yes they do 🙂
