A rainy day with lots of Ice cream :-)

August 8, 2024

Today we haven’t done much at all. The rain they first said would come but later that it wouldn’t actually did come 🙂 🙂 🙂 So it has rained from early morning till early afternoon. When the sun finally did show itself the humidity made the world feel like a steam bath. It wasn’t until we had some wind that it actually became quite nice outside. The ice cream lorry came yesterday so I have been eating way too much ice cream 🙂

I wish I could say it was fog in the distance but it was a shower passing by.

I’ve topped the tomato plants now and also removed most of the leafs, now I want the plant to concentrate its energy towards ripen the tomatoes.

So we have stayed indoors most of the day but has been in the garden some when the wind arrived. Malkolm jumped over to the neighbors and if they don’t mind it I won’t either but they do need to be at home 🙂 I don’t want him to become an adventurer taking long trips all over the place 🙂 I once had a dog who did that and I didn’t have a clue 🙂 🙂 I thought he walked down to the neighbors horses and spend time with them, he loved everything in this world but especially those horses.

The Himalayan cypress still look really good.

The Morning glories are finally showing more flowers. This one does at least grow up the fence, most of the other finds the grass much better 🙂

The Aronia is full of berries, I really don’t like them but the birds do. I’ll cut down the Aronia to ankle height as soon as the berries are gone.

Turns out that he visited the entire village 🙂 🙂 🙂 I learned that when he was no longer here. I passed villagers that asked where he was and it was so sad that he no longer lived because he was the most wonderful dog they had met and even people who didn’t even live here but were friends with villagers came and told me how sad it was. Turns out that he every now and again took long walks in the village and since I was the only one having dogs here in the village at that time everyone understood that he just was very social and made sure he wouldn’t leave the village 🙂 🙂 🙂

My Aaron’s rod is really high now, above three meters anyway.

His brother Hector did also take small tours but towards the forest, he wasn’t especially social at all even though he liked people too so instead of visiting the neighbors he had a Fox friend 🙂 🙂 🙂 We met the fox when he was rather young and for some reason he and Hector stayed to play with each other (Hector was a youngster as well). The fox never came especially close to me but Hector and his brother were never leashed so Hector ran out to him in the fields when we met. I’m pretty sure that if Malkolm would have his own small walks he would be very much like Orvar, Hectors brother.

To be honest I think Hector was autistic, he didn’t like to be patted, wasn’t especially cuddly and never understood how to play with other dogs, The only thing he liked was to stand on the stirs to the upper floor and then he expected me to have my head towards his, nose to nose, and then we would stand like that until he thought it was enough 🙂 🙂 If I wanted to leave earlier he just kept on standing there until I came back and did it all over again 🙂 🙂 His mother wanted to kill him as a newborn puppy. Good thing she was listening to me all the time but she wan’t happy about me not letting her do that. Instead she was mean, every time anything bad happened to her she ran and bit Hector, even if everyone around could see that it was Ovar’s fault.
