So easter has begun. Well it started here yesterday to be honest since it is one of the worst days when it comes to the traffic, not only on the ground but also in the skies. Maundy Thursday is the day when all witches flies to Blåkulla (a couple of islands in the sea but no one can really say with one of them plus I’ve heard there are a couple of other places that also takes credit for being the real Blåkulla. It is the place where they all go to have a party with the devil. They’ll fly back home tomorrow evening and that’s why many places have huge bonfires and fireworks to scare them all away. Now days we think more of the environment and not having big forest fires so most places don’t have bonfires any more.

The morning has been rather nice since we don’t have any wind, still a bit chilly but that’s nothing I notice when walking with the dogs. Before going out with the dogs I had a walk with a little mouse in the box trap. I have for some time suspected it is one or two mice coming back all the time and now I know that’s so. Yesterday I caught this little mouse and it had a tick sitting on its neck. I would have liked to remove that tick but it is really hard to get a wild animal to sit still while removing it. Anyway this morning the same mouse sat there again and the tick in its neck was still there! I must walk even further away to release them and I still walk 800 meters (half a mile) to do do now 🙂 🙂 🙂

I took a look at the Norwegian weather site this morning and became a bit stressed. It said it will be windy from Saturday and that on Sunday evening the gusts will reach hurricane force!!! So I went out and checked the storm wires and anchors on my greenhouse and I will need to tighten the wires today or tomorrow. Next time I checked they had changed that to storm strength in the gusts 🙂 I’m still not happy about it but to be honest, my neighbours cottage and their greenhouse will protect my greenhouse against the winds anyway 🙂

I was thinking about not seeing any signs of the beavers lately and then I saw this 🙂

It is time to make a pot of tea and I’ll have an ice cream as well, the ice cream lorry were here just a few minutes ago so easter is saved 🙂

Have a great day!
