We had thick fog here this morning when I woke up and since it was fairly warm I guessed it wouldn’t stay for especially long, so I was in no hurry to go out for our morning walk. I realised after a while that it didn’t evaporate at all so out we went. Fog is after all my second favourite kind of weather 🙂 There Monster decided that she would follow us so instead of going down to the creek as I had planned we went out to the bog. I don’t want to risk her getting bored or tired on the way and stop following us that far from the cottage.

Unfortunately it seems that it is also a favourite weather for ticks so every now and again we stopped on our walk so I could go through the dogs and release them from those pests. This dry weather we’ve had has kept another pest away from us, the slugs. There’s a lot of snails but they usually don’t eat anything else than dead materials, like leafs or dead plants, so the haven’t been any problem at all.

The dogs allowed me to sleep until 5am today, a bit late for me to wake up but I’ve still been really tired today. I think it’s because it has been a bit too warm in the bedroom. So tonight I’ll have a window open through the night and if it should start to rain it usually don’t get in to the room anyway, that only happens when we have thunderstorms. I’ve seen thunderclouds passing by but none of them payed us a visit.

They say we’ll have rain this coming week and we do need it so I won’t complain. It’s a rather big difference here in the garden to how dry it is in different places. It is as most dry on the south side of the garden, where the greenhouse stand but on the north side behind the cottage the ground is actually anything but dry. The sun shines just as much on that side as it does on the south side and still the difference is huge and I have no idea why 🙂 At least I don’t have to water anything there so that’s a huge plus 🙂

It is time for that last cup of tea for the day. I think I might have an ice cream at the same time but before that I better go and open that bedroom window so the worst heat flows out through it. It is quite nice to go to bed while hearing the different insects buzzing in the lilacs just outside 🙂

Have a great day!
