Seed pods from a day lily.

Nothing much has happened here these last days. We’ve had some rain and we’ve had some sunshine and that’s it. I am working with the same things as always and will continue to do so until the day I’m leaving, on Friday the 13th 🙂 🙂 🙂 Friday the 13th has always been a lucky day in my family so if that means anything that’ll be the day something is going to happen 🙂 🙂

Creeping bellflower.

 

Jerusalem artichoke.

Alma has been unusually challenging when we’re out walking, I guess it is because she’s at the end of her being in heat. Today I finally had a witness to how she can be on our walks, the beekeeper walked with us for a short while, as he said: It seems she’s full of, well something 🙂 🙂 🙂 I’m still confused to how a dog can be so different on walks towards how she is here at home. She’s an angel here at home (ok she do steal food from us all and can reach everywhere to do so -) 🙂 ) but more like an insane demon while we’re out on our walks 🙂 🙂 🙂 The longest I’ve ever seen her concentrate on anything is twenty seconds, yes I count the seconds every time she actually finds anything interesting 🙂 after that she’s all over the place again. Here at home she’s calm, does what I ask of her andlooks after old Nova so that she’s ok, a totally different dog. I’m sure she has dog adhd 🙂 🙂

   

This apple isn’t what You would call a crab apple, instead it’s a species of apple, Malus sylvestris, that we call Wild apple. Barely edible because it’s so sour but it pollinates all other apple varieties and works amazingly well to make a delicious jelly from.

Well I guess it’s time for that last cup of tea for the day and then fall asleep in front of the tv 🙂

   

I tried the first apple from my seed sown apple tree, not quite ripe yet but oh so delicious! So anyone who tells You that seed sown apple trees only give sour and bitter apples really don’t know what they are talking about!

Have a great day!

  2. when i was much younger, i had a husky/german shepherd-cross dog named liza who behaved much the same as alma. she was an angel at home and a devil when out for walks on a leash. i consulted my best friend’s mum, who was very knowledgeable about dogs. she thought that liza was a bit confused when on a leash and wasn’t sure if she was supposed to be protective and in charge, or if i was in charge, like when we were home. she taught me some training exercises to try on liza and they helped a bit. they were mostly obedience lessons so that she would learn that i was the boss and that she was safe. the most important lesson was to be kind but firm. i don’t know if alma is like my liza, but maybe you could try some basic leash training on her with lots of positive reinforcement. good luck! 💕🐾🕊

    1. Hi mandolin mama!

      Thanks for the tips but I’ve already tried those with Alma with no bigger success 🙂 🙂 🙂 I think Alma might be the least protective dog there is, she loves everyone and anything 🙂 🙂 Perhaps that’s the problem, she’s extremely happy every time we meet someone 🙂 🙂 🙂 The times we’ve had wolves around is the times she does exactly what she should, walk in line in the same pace as the rest of us. As it is now she’s all over the place all the time 🙂 🙂 🙂
