Much nicer morning today, around the same temperature but much less humidity. We started walking just after the sun had risen above the mountains up east. I really wanted to walk down to the creek and walk it up stream but it did sound as if the cattle still were there where they were yesterday. […]
I would have loved to sleep a little bit longer today but I woke up at 4 am and since the dogs noticed I had very little choice than to get up, go outside and check if Doris the badger was in the or not before I could let the dogs outside. Also, the Monster […]
I thought it would be cold here this morning because yesterday evening had a cold bite in the air. It didn’t stay clear though so very little morning mist but 8C (46,4F) and no wind. The dogs woke me up at 3:45 and it did sound as if they really needed to go outside. So […]
It has rained here since yesterday afternoon, I don’t have a rain meter but a friend of mine has gotten just more than an inch of rain. I now have two full water barrels and three on they way to become that and each can contain around 325 litres (around 84 gallons US). I think […]
We’ve now had two really nice days, yesterday no wind at all and today a weak but a bit chilly one but it did cool down some while being in the sunshine for a while. Nights however have been way too cold, yesterday night it fell down to -5C (23F) and last night -3C […]
I took these photos yesterday when the weather was slightly better. Yesterday they counted 15 000 cranes at the lake and more will arrive. The weather isn’t inviting though, cold strong wind and some rain mixed in as well. Normally there are loads of caravans and mobile homes parked by the lake but I drove […]
A storm will pass tonight, well it is actually already here but the gusts will be as strongest around midnight. It is roaring through the forest and it is almost so loud that it is hard to hear when the air force jets are passing by in the sky. They have been unusually active […]
The warmer weather is really nice now and almost all snow and ice are gone, except for where my gate is 🙂 The water level is much lower today but it is still a bit tricky to pass and at the same time trying to avoid getting soaking wet shoes 🙂 🙂 Everything gets […]
I wouldn’t say that they has a sale on blue cheese in the store today but when comparing the price to the smaller packages it still was pretty cheap (well that’s a lie nothing is ever cheap, especially not blue cheese 🙂 🙂 ) so I’m now pretty sure Malkolm will love to eat breakfast […]
Another cold night so I’m glad I covered the more sensitive plants. Yesterday we had several thunderstorms passing by and we had hail falling in at least three of them, there was even some hail left when we went out in to the garden when we had woken up. The rest of the day has […]
Another really nice and sunny spring day here. Started a bit cloudy but warm so I didn’t feel I had the right to complain 🙂 No cranes in the field though but I could hear some trumpeting in fields further away. We walked down to the creek but in the opposite direction to what we […]
It was warmish and cloudy this morning when we went out in the garden. Four cranes were walking in the field outside my garden, two left when they heard us but two stayed. The problem was that I only could photograph them through the branches on my catalpa tree 🙂 I did get a few […]
