Greylags on they way out to the bog.

A beautiful sunrise and a cold morning, not as cold as yesterday but cold enough to kill the plants that had survived yesterday but was badly hit by the frost yesterday. My neighbours tomato plants said good buy and the one I had in the greenhouse  that had managed to survive looked really sad 🙂 Still it looks like the roots still are ok so there might grow up a new plant from those.

We went out rather early so it was still pretty cold, I had scrubbed the dogs with the giant yarrow and thought that since it was pretty cold we wouldn’t have any problems with ticks, still I found two walking around on Alma when we came back home. The wagtail was out looking for insects that would be a bit slow since it was as cold as it was and from what I could see it was really successful 🙂 We walked down to the creek and in to the older forest. We could hear a few animals running away from us but couldn’t see any.

That is until we were walking on the gravel road on our way home. Alma started grunting and was a bit hesitant when we suddenly saw it, a moose. Thankfully from a safe distance, I really don’t trust moose because they aim just as good with their front legs as they do with their back legs and it does occasionally happen that they kill people if they come too close. I’m certain however that this one was a calf from last year and they rather run than fight 🙂

I had to go to the supermarket after that and just as I had come home I got a notice that a parcel had arrived at the grocery store in Gudhem, on the opposite way compared to the supermarket. I really didn’t want to jump in to the car again so I’ll wait a while before picking it up. I ordered the (for my small aquarium) thing two days ago and didn’t think I would get it until next week 🙂 🙂 🙂 I can go on Saturday and buy some ice cream while I’m there. Best to bring a couple of ice packs so it doesn’t start to melt before I’m back home again 🙂

I’ve repotted the two Persimmon relatives I sowed (Kaki fruit) and the Pawpaw seedling but very little besides that 🙂 I guess it’s time for that last cup of tea for the day and after that most likely fall asleep in the recliner 🙂

Have a great day!

By the way, the tutor on my kidney grows so slow that they don’t feel the need to x-ray it again next year, they’ll do it the year after that instead 🙂
