The Cottage by the crane lake.

I woke up early today and since it was dark outside I couldn’t see how foggy it was, it was still quite foggy when the light finally returned. I had planned on walking in the village today but then I heard the dogs barking everywhere so I changed my mind, I really didn’t want Alma to stress up and start screaming, I just didn’t have that energy today 🙂 🙂

The hunters were out in the forest though so we didn’t have our morning walk until after noon. One hunter was still there though because his Beagle hadn’t returned. I had heard a dog bark twice down by the creek so he thought it must be his dog and drove down there. The problem was he still couldn’t find him. The dog still hadn’t returned when we came back again so I prepared myself to go out with Malkolm who loves to follow tracks and loves all dogs as well just in case they hadn’t found the dog before it started to get dark again. Luckily they did find him just before darkness would arrive.

I don’t like it when they have dogs running around by themselves now when we have wolves in the area even though I haven’t seen any signs of them being here in a long time but one never knows. Everything went well though 🙂 So instead of going out to try and find a dog I baked two loafs of bread, it would perhaps been better to let them stay in the oven for five minutes longer but the taste is really nice 🙂

I think it is time for that last cup of tea for the day and perhaps one more sandwich. When I’ve bought a cheap, low quality tea and I did that on purpose this time, I like to put in different spices in it. Today I feel like something christmassy so in the tea there will be sliced ginger, cardamom seeds, some cloves and a piece of cinnamon 🙂

Have a great day!
