I’m so tired that it feels like I could sleep the entire weekend. Lots of heavy lifting and in a fast pace has worn me down 🙂 🙂 I will however most likely wake up at 4:30 am tomorrow like I always do. The dogs only need that I slightly open an eye and down the stairs to the entrance door they’ll run and if I’m not fast enough Alma will start to whine loudly. Well since Doris the badger might be in the garden I won’t let them outside until I’ve taken a tour making sure she isn’t here 🙂

The weather has been much more pleasant than they guessed it would. Yes we’ve had a lot of rain, still too early for me to complain about it though 🙂 , but we’ve also had lots of sunshine. Nights have been unusually warm, back in the days we would have had our first nights with frost. I’m happy that we still haven’t had it but am now planning on bringing down a lot of potted plants in to the cool cellar.

Most flies have given up now, not the moose flies but most of the rest of them. Still some bumblebees and other pollinators flying around so the perennial sunflowers are very needed here in the garden even though they tend to spread a bit too happily 🙂 Yarrow and bluebells are still in bloom outside the gardens. I wonder if I should put out some sugar water for the bumblebees to make sure they’ll have all the energy they need to survive the winter, also if I should start doing that in early spring when they have very little to eat just because the spring starts too early now days.

I still had 1.496 Kg (3,3 lbs) go mushrooms left after frying them in butter so the water in they would evaporate. So now when I have lots of it in the freezer I’ll only pick those I know taste best from now on and we do have lots of them here now. Too bad we don’t have any chanterelles around here but I dole the boletus mushrooms as well. Depending on what way we’re walking tomorrow I’ll see if I can find some hedgehog mushrooms as well 🙂

It is time for that last cup of tea for the day and today I’ll have some digestives with slices from a nice Brie 🙂 I’ll try and stay awake for as long as I can but as it feels right now it won’t be especially late 🙂

Have a great day!
