I think we’ve had really beautiful weather here today. Sunshine and warm when I drove to work, I think it was cloudy during our breaks but it was warm and now sunshine and warm again. Tomorrow will be sunny and warm until the night when more rain will come for a visit. Friday rainy again but since I work I really don’t mind 🙂

Chamomile.
We call this flower for Dog biscuits but I have absolutely no idea why 🙂 It is a close relative to the parsnip and can be eaten as such as well. The problem is that almost at the same time it flowers a few other that look almost the same flowers as well and those can be highly poisonous.

We met one of our new neighbours when we walked down to the creek after I had come home after work and Alma was only her insane self, so with other words so much calmer than when we met the puppies 🙂 She behaved really well the en tire walk after that though and that seems to be the norm now. Well if something moves or she think it will move or a bird burp she will be slightly crazy for a few seconds but then calms down again 🙂 🙂

Tomorrow is a holiday here but I’ll work on Friday as usual. Some people will have the Friday off but from what I understand they’re not as generous with giving time off as they were at my previous work place. We have loads to do though so that is something I fully can understand. I’ve always liked when I have one day off in the middle of the week because then the rest of what’s left of the work week feels quite good to work at. Sort of a mini vacation 🙂 🙂 🙂

I think it is time to have a cup of tea, after all I don’t have to get up really early tomorrow so it doesn’t matter if I can’t fall asleep as soon as I lay my head on the pillow like I usually do. I remember when  first realised that if I had a cup of tea or coffee after a certain time in the afternoon I then would have problems falling asleep. It happened from one day to the next, the day before I fell asleep like always the next I was awake so long that I only had two hours of sleep, thankfully it happened on a Friday evening 🙂

My new neighbours ponies, so beautiful.

Carrots and beetroots growing fine beside the strawberries.

Have a great day!

  1. I became the same way with coffee. Used to be able to drink it any time and have no problem with sleep, but now if I drink it in the afternoon, I can’t fall asleep.

    If I drink tea in the evening, I will make chamomile or a berry tea that has no caffeine, just to be on the safe side. Chamomile is supposed to help you sleep, but I don’t think it makes a difference.

  2. Hi Christer! Did the small herd of horses that included the Fjord horse move away? Or is their farm farther away from you? Everything looks so lush and happy there and I can imagine all the birdsong! Your little vegetable & strawberry garden looks like it’s thriving.

    1. Hi Denali Sam!

      No they’ve just moved to a field behind the property so I can’t see them.
      I have too much stones in the ground so I thought why not grow carrots and beetroots in the big box? Looks as they really like it there. I’m not a big fan of either of them but a few carrots every now and again is ok and I do like pickled beetroots 🙂

      1. I’m glad that herd is still nearby, just out of view.

        Do you ever make a soup or stew that could include some shredded carrots? It’s a good way to get the nutrients but not so much of the carrot flavor. 🙂

        Two of them can also be on the other side of the village sometimes where they used to live before the owner died, it’s like going home for a visit for them.

        I rarely do but now I’ll think of that when doing some 🙂 Thanks for the tip 🙂
