The morning was quite nice here despite it being a bit chilly. The temperature had dropped down below 0C (32F) during the night but there was no wind thankfully. A nice fog had paced itself in and around our village but there was unfortunately some misty rain mixed in it. The birds didn’t seem to care though, they sang at full volume. More and more migrating birds are arriving now so it does feel like spring.

I had a short walk by myself before we went out on our morning walk, well not completely true because I had a mouse sitting in the box trap waiting to be released again 🙂 Since Alma wasn’t with me I could come rather close to three Roe deer that graced in a field. Unfortunately I had a smaller lens so no close ups on them. Alma is mostly behaving better, the whining is nothing compared to how it used to be, she doesn’t scream like insane as soon as she see something moving and mostly she doesn’t pull the leash as hard as she used to. That however doesn’t mean my right shoulder isn’t in pain after a walk, she still pulls but not as much and as hard 🙂 Also she’s only calms if we walk where we always walk, any detour and she’s back to screaming lounging forward and whining like insane 🙂 🙂 🙂

Anyway we walked down to the creek and followed it down-stream. The water level seems to rise again so I do wonder why the ground water is as low as it is. We’ve had some rain but as worse it was a gentle spring rain 🙂 Well we had a winter that reminded of the ones back in the days, perhaps we’ll get a summer that will remind us of the ones back in the days as well? Very cool and lots of rain 🙂

I would have made some rose-hip soup now because the weather has changed towards chilly and windy. I don’t have any rose-hip powder though so perhaps I’ll make some warm cocoa instead, work really well on cold days as well 🙂 No more tea today though, I ran way too much yesterday and had to pay fir it during the night 🙂 🙂 The dogs stayed in bed so I didn’t open the door to check if there were any wild hogs outside 🙂

The third photo shows a glass greenhouse standing at the now empty cottage. Next photo shows the closest neighbours greenhouse with insulating plastic. We were all very happy that it didn’t blow away in the storm, it stands at the moment in the absolute right place in front of their garage where the wind couldn’t reach it and the next photo shows my greenhouse with just a thin plastic protecting the plants. It is fastened in to the ground but also stood in the right place protected from the wind by my neighbours cottage 🙂

Have a great day!
