Yes very mixed weather here today. The only time it was sort of stable was when we had our morning walk. Mostly sunshine then and only a few clouds disturbed the rays journey towards the ground. I was exception everything being soaking wet today so I wore my rubber boots. The grass was a bit wet while everything was so wet in my garden that drops fell from the trees. So I guess the edge of the rain that fell all day yesterday must have been somewhere beside my neighbours cottage, raining there and here over my home but not the forest at all 🙂
We were out early as always and we’re always alone, so guess if I was surprised when a woman suddenly stood outside my gate 🙂 🙂 Turns out that it was the step daughter to the man who lived next door when I moved to the village. She had heard that things were happening at my neighbours cottage and wanted to see what’s going on. I told her what I know and she liked it.
I’ve been anything but lazy today. I did two rounds of laundry almost as soon as we had come back home. I baked a bread and it’s funny that the dogs seems to look more forward to the bread than I do. They always get a tiny piece with some cheese on it while the bread still is warm 🙂 I’ve made dinner for the coming week and also cleaned my two aquariums. I always use that water for my plants but this isn’t the time of year that’s a good thing if the plants grow in the ground, this is the time for them to slow down and to start thinking of the coming winter. I can however use it for those plants that will stay green all winter down in my cool cellar so that’s what I did.
I’ve also started top move down the smaller citrus trees to the cellar. I take a few each time I’m outside. The big ones can wait a bit longer, those and the geraniums can manage the first frost nights without any problems. I’m pretty sure I also brought down lots of spiders 🙂 Good thing so if any aphids follows the plants those spiders will have something to eat 🙂
It is time to have that last cup of tea. for the day. I wasn’t even remotely close to win anything on the lottery so I’ll need to go to work tomorrow morning 🙂 It’s a good thing I like to work there 🙂
Have a great day!
OK, in the photo of the deer in the field with the mound of dirt in the foreground, what is that mound of dirt for? The rocks scattered around it look like they were once gathered to be on the mound because maybe it’s a grave?
Or is this me just getting into the Halloween spirit because October is almost here (although it’s still hot and humid as the middle of summer)?

Hi catsworking!
I think they are parts of an old road that once lay close to the mound. From what I know thread was really old but then they let out cattle in that field and they unintentionally and slowly destroyed it. If I as a human would have done something like that I would have to pay huge fines but cattle can do anything without the owner have to do something about it.
WE do have lots of old graves and tombs here in the village, from early Stone Age to Iron Age but also from around 14th? century when there was a church at the outskirts of what is now the village. In this area however most those stones comes from huge piles from when the ice age stopped. They were created by the ice and water and stayed here when the ice melted away.
I hope that Alma might possible have managed to calm down a lot this winter because then I can photograph the old graves and tombs on the other side of the village 🙂
