They say it’ll finally rain a lot tomorrow.

It has been warm all day, 25 C (77 F) most of the day before noon was sunny and most of the day after has been cloudy. Still warm though and we’ve also had a rather strong warm wind. I slept for much longer last night than I’ve done in years, a cold is spreading here and it might be that it has made me so much more tired, a bit stuffed in the nose but nothing worse for me. My neighbours had it much worse.

The leafs are going yellow but it’s because of the drought and not so much because we’re closing in on autumn.

So since we went up much later we had our morning walk before we had breakfast. I could hear some ravens and small birds were tweeting but besides those it was rather quiet. We walked down to the creek and back because I didn’t want to walk in the high grass in the forest now when it is dry enough for the ticks to stay there. Β We walked in the high grass yesterday and I had to pick plants of ticks from the dogs after we had come home, nasty animals!

I’ve also been to a big grocery store in FalkΓΆping this morning, a nice change to the supermarket I usually go to. I was going to stop on the way home at the small grocery shop in Gudhem on my way home to buy ice cream, it gives me enough time to come home without the ice cream melting. I of course forgot that so still no ice cream in my home πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ I do have a can with peach halves and one smaller with pear halves so I might have one of those instead.

I would like to tear up all these vibes with small yellow flowers now. They are annuals and has already spread so many seeds that there’s no risk of them not coming back. However we have loads of bumblebees here and these small flowers are perfect when they need nectar sonce they will continue to flower until the frost kills them.

They say that we will have rain tomorrow. Anything from one centimetre (two fifths of an inch) to 4 cm (one inch and three fifths of an inch) falling down from the sky. I do hope we’ll get the higher amount because I would at least not have to water anything for a couple of days πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ It is so dry here now that we only get very little dew in the morning and when that happens we’re really in a secure drought.

I want to remove the wild plum tree I have but I’m afraid to even go close to it with thorns like these πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ The sooner I do it the better though, it’s just a young tree and if I with it’ll only get more thorns πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚

I was planning on baking a bread after this but it will be done so late that I better start tomorrow since we actually might get that rain πŸ™‚ Time for that last cup of tea for the day and then some tv watching.

Have a great day!

  1. Sarah seems to be proud of her new collar and is taking good care of it.

    We are having no rain here in Virginia, too. I think it’s been dry for at least a week, and it’s supposed to last for another week. But the humidity has gone way down, so now I can go outside without getting immediately sweaty.

    1. Hi catsworking!

      Well she does at least not hate it πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚

      I think it might have rained all night here, a gentle summer rain but the heavier showers won’t start until around 2 pm. Good that we had this gentle rain because now it will be easier for the coming rain to sink down in to the ground so we have any use of it.

      Warm as well so the humidity is pretty high now but I’ll take it if we’ll get more rain πŸ™‚ Good to hear Your humidity is lower again πŸ™‚
