A nice summer day.

Today was one of those days when it had been so nice to have stayed at home. It started with a morning with mist followed by a rather nice and just enough warm day but now in the evening it started to become warmer again, a bit too warm but that’ll change over the weekend. 

The Kankakee mallow has grown quite big this year. I’m planting them all over the garden now 🙂
Oxalis (the red leafed one) is really invasive. I had one pot of them a few years ago and now it grows everywhere in the garden and soon in my neighbours garden as well.

It felt so nice to see that I don’t have to think about mowing the lawn this weekend 🙂 I went home two hours nearly yesterday just because I could, it was a really nice day as well. So I thought since it should rain during the weekend why not mow the lawn? Didn’t take long despite that fact that it had rained quite a lot since I did it last time. I guess that was when I got the two mosquito bites I now have on my right foot. Well as long as it isn’t ticks I’m happy but they do itch a bit too much 🙂 🙂 🙂

My little flower meadow looks a bit better than last year so I’ll give it one more year before I decide to give it up and start something else there.

My remote to the tv died last Tuesday. I thought it was the batteries that needed to be changed because I can’t remember when I put in new batteries the last time but it turns out it died. I only have the free channels and they are all close together so it’s not a big problem except for it is impossible to see where the controls are on the tv, I need a strong light to see it at all 🙂 🙂 🙂 So I think I won’t buy a new one because I survived as a child not to have a remote so I think that I now as an adult will manage to survive this until I buy another tv, if I ever do that.

I’ll get strawberries hanging outside the box 🙂

Time to start picking red currants 🙂 I won’t get many but I’ll mix them with the red gooseberries when they are ripe.
Chicory. I didn’t think they survived winter and though the nettles looked odd this year 🙂

It is time for that last cup of tea and then see if there’s anything on tv, well at least on that channel I have on at the moment 🙂 Plus I’ll have a slice or two of the bread I have in the oven right now 🙂

Have a great day!

    1. Hi Beatrice!

      I’ll freeze them together with other berries that I don’t have enough to make something off and then I’ll most likely make jam and if I have lots of berries I’ll also make some berry soup or cream 🙂
