I can hear thunder in the distance but I’m not sure if it will come our way or not. I wouldn’t mind if it did. It’s just as hot here today as it was yesterday and the dogs only wants to stay outside for short moments before they give up. Today my neighbours little dog decided to take a walk by himself so I was about to go out and help searching for him but just as I was on my way out a villager had found him and called my neighbours 🙂 He had just walked the same way they always walk in the village 🙂 🙂
We were out on our morning walk the same time as we were yesterday and it was slightly cooler today, still no flies oddly enough. I don’t miss them but they are important for all the birds so I do wonder what has happened to them. I wish this was a sign of the coming maps fly season but I’m pretty sure those nasties will be as many or more than usual 🙂 🙂 🙂 It was so cool and nice but like yesterday the heat arrived before we reached the cottage, the difference today is that a cool but weak wind is blowing and it helps a lot. Even if the ground still is slightly wet after the thunder day I still watered the plants I planted this spring plus I gave a little extra to those I planted last year. Almost all plants that were damaged by the last frost now have new leafs, all but one red mulberry tree. It’s alive and well but just refuse to grow new leafs and I have no idea why.
I’ve also started to look at seeds now for next year. Some businesses have already started with the sales but the ones selling the seeds I want haven’t 🙂 They might be offering free shipment but that isn’t much. Then again if I wait for too long the seeds I want might be sold out before I can order them 🙂 Damned if I do, damned if I don’t situation 🙂 🙂 🙂 I also picked up my first potatoes today, quite a few but mostly small, those are on the other hand the best and I like frying them hole. I had some for dinner today and the rest for dinner at work during next week.
So I’ve done the dinners and also the laundry, like always but I really should have vacuumed upstairs as well but it is so hot now that I really need to put a limit to how much I should do in the heat so I skipped the vacuuming 🙂 🙂 🙂
Have a great day!
The Cottage by the crane lake. 
What a perfect portrait of Alma and Malkolm! All that’s missing is Sarah creeping up behind to photo-bomb them.
Thankfully, the humidity here in Virginia is supposed to lessen this week, so maybe it will feel more like the actual temperature in the mid to upper 80s F, which will feel cool after what we’ve been through with muggy 100+ for weeks.

Hi catsworking!
I do like that photo too but the monsterkitten was nowhere to be found at that moment.
Warm again but much nicer today, for the first time since I started to check the humidity is really low! Only 44% at the moment but it’ll rise up to over 93% already tomorrow. I’ll enjoy it as long as it lasts 🙂 🙂
77F is enough for me and if the humidity could stay as low as it is now I would love it 🙂 🙂 🙂

Christer, that was a great portrait of the 2 dogs who really looked so calm and yes if Sara was in the front it would have been amazing! Our hot weather cooled off a bit the past few days, but will return by the end of the week. The first photo of the butterfly/moth (a white sulpher?) was stunning!
I agree that vacuuming is not a fun thing to do in really hot weather 😏

Hi Beatrice!
Since she’s a cat she never is where one wants her to 🙂 🙂 🙂
It is finally a bit cooler today, we were supposed to have lots of rain but so far we’ve only had a light shower, I hope more falls during the night.
I have no idea what kind of butterfly that is but I know it is a butterfly and not a moth 🙂
I finally had to vacuum the upper floor yesterday, in the heat and it was awful but the floor is nice now 🙂
