It missed us totally.

A Nanking cherry soon to be ripe, I do hope I’ll get it instead of the birds 🙂

We were supposed to have lots of raining thunder today and there was lots of it but not in my village. It passed to the north and south but here the sun shone and it reached 28C (82,4F). I was hoping for the rain so I am a bit disappointed to be honest. I had planned on mowing the lawn today but since the thunder thundered nearby I never started 🙂 🙂 So that’s a funny chore I’ll have to do tomorrow or on Sunday instead but it will new a bit cooler instead so I’m not complaining too much 🙂

Nothing much has happened here lately but the monsterkitten came in one morning sort of looking defeated, only went to the water bowl and then upstairs falling asleep in old Nova’s favourite spot. The dogs and I had heard some cats fighting the evening before so I thought that perhaps that’s why she behaved like she did but there’s not a single scratch on her but then again fleeing from an attacker would be very stressful as well. Today she was back to her normal self again so it seems there’s nothing to worry about but I’ll keep my eye on her.

The rest of the photos shows what I can see sitting on my kitchen stairs.

There is this new cat the newest neighbours brought home and it has been terrorising the neighbours next door for a while now. Alma and Malkolm don’t like it but it is big and scary so they growl at it but won’t go close. So now I’ll be prepared with a bucket of water if it should feel to come to my home, perhaps even buy one of those strong water pistols so it knows who rules in this garden.

Normally it’s time for that last cup of tea for the day but it’s just too hot, both outdoors and indoors. I’ve bought some Elderflower Ade so that and some ice will be perfect instead and why now have Alice or two of the bread I baked the other day 🙂

Have a great day!

One cool day is what we’ll get :-)

The Kankakee mallow is in bloom.It was so dry where it lived before (and several new plants are growing there now 🙂 ) That instead of being 2 feet high they’re now 6 feet high 🙂 🙂 🙂

Finally a cool day but the heat will come back already tomorrow. We were supposed to have lots of rain and thunder today but both missed the village. I could hear the thunder from a distance and we did get some rain to be honest, a light summer rain for about ten minutes 🙂 Didn’t do much good. Now they’re guessing the heavy rain will come on Friday instead. The one who lives will see as we say over here 🙂

Hard to see it since the background also is green 🙂

Nothing much has happened here, it has been too warm for that 🙂 Not even now when it is cooler anyone of us have any energy to do anything. I’ve watered the tree planted this year and some of the older I know grows in the driest parts of my garden. Plus the leeks and beans in the vegetable patch but that’s it. The forest doves have now moved, I could hear the parents in the trees behind the dog yard yesterday evening and now the younglings have moved too. So now I don’t have to worry that the monsterkitten will find and eat them.

It is quiet in the village, no birds are singing, no cars are driving and I can’t hear a single human or dog either. I guess the birds either think we’ll have more rain and thunder or that they all now are preparing for autumn. No more eggs laid but instead fattening up for the move south. All the other sounds I think depends on that lots of people eat their dinner now and are indoors 🙂 🙂

Much better meadow this year 🙂 Lots of different flowers growing there now and the bumblebees loves it.

It is time for something liquid, don’t think tea but most likely lots of water or milk. Also I have a bread baking in the machine and it will be ready in an hour I think. A slice or two with cheese sounds like a good idea 🙂

I don’t think my Chinese Catalpa has started to flower this early ever! Perhaps I’ll get viable seeds this year?
It is the same with one of my perennial sunflowers. They normally flower in late August.

Soon I’ll have plenty of strawberries 🙂

Have a great day!

Just as hot today but with a cool wind blowing.

I can hear thunder in the distance but I’m not sure if it will come our way or not. I wouldn’t mind if it did. It’s just as hot here today as it was yesterday and the dogs only wants to stay outside for short moments before they give up. Today my neighbours little dog decided to take a walk by himself so I was about to go out and help searching for him but just as I was on my way out a villager had found him and called my neighbours 🙂 He had just walked the same way they always walk in the village 🙂 🙂

We were out on our morning walk the same time as we were yesterday and it was slightly cooler today, still no flies oddly enough. I don’t miss them but they are important for all the birds so I do wonder what has happened to them. I wish this was a sign of the coming maps fly season but I’m pretty sure those nasties will be as many or more than usual 🙂 🙂 🙂 It was so cool and nice but like yesterday the heat arrived before we reached the cottage, the difference today is that a cool but weak wind is blowing and it helps a lot. Even if the ground still is slightly wet after the thunder day I still watered the plants I planted this spring plus I gave a little extra to those I planted last year.  Almost all plants that were damaged by the last frost now have new leafs, all but one red mulberry tree. It’s alive and well but just refuse to grow new leafs and I have no idea why.

I’ve also started to look at seeds now for next year. Some businesses have already started with the sales but the ones selling the seeds I want haven’t 🙂 They might be offering free shipment but that isn’t much. Then again if I wait for too long the seeds I want might be sold out before I can order them 🙂 Damned if I do, damned if I don’t situation 🙂 🙂 🙂 I also picked up my first potatoes today, quite a few but mostly small, those are on the other hand the best and I like frying them hole. I had some for dinner today and the rest for dinner at work during next week.

So I’ve done the dinners and also the laundry, like always but I really should have vacuumed upstairs as well but it is so hot now that I really need to put a limit to how much I should do in the heat so I skipped the vacuuming 🙂 🙂 🙂

Have a great day!

The younglings have left the nest. I hope the doves comes back again next spring.

This time it worked.

It was much cooler this morning when we woke up, so we had our breakfast and at 6 am we went out for our morning walk. I wore a hoodie again because flies usually fly around even in the early morning if it isn’t 10C (50F) or cooler and it wasn’t that cool unfortunately.

We walked down to the creek since the grass now is too high and still wet after the thunderstorm that it has become a tick paradise. I did rub Yarrow all over the dogs, it is said that ticks dislike the smell of yarrow, just to at least improve the odds 🙂 To my very big surprise we had almost no flies flying around us even though we walked down to their favourite spots at the creek?! I’m not sure where they were but I doubt they will be gone for long, I’m not lucky enough that they’ve all died away 🙂 🙂 plus the birds need them still.

A few birds are still singing here, normally most of them would have stopped by now because it shouldn’t be enough time left to get more babies. Things have changed though and now it’s rather warm way in to November and perhaps some birds have noticed that and try for it one more time. By the way I only found two ticks on Alma after the walk so perhaps the Yarrow really works? It had become pretty warm by the time we arrived at home and it got worse the longer the day passed. We reached 30C (86F) before it finally slowly turned towards cooler. Call it cooler feels like a joke it has only dropped down 1 degree centigrade yet 🙂 🙂 🙂

This is unfortunately one of the few Bluebells that isn’t invasive 🙂

The bread I baked yesterday should have stayed in the machine a bit longer, I guess the cheese in it was a bit too much for the machine, it tasted really good though. So to check if it was the cheese I’ve now baked a loaf again today, the loafs are rather small so I’m not drowning in bread 🙂 🙂 and this time it worked perfect! So if I want cheese in the bread from now on I’ll use a bit less and also let the loaf stay in the machine a bit longer since it takes its time to cool down.

Even though we’ve had a long nap, well all the animals have had several long naps, I feel too tired to do anything so I think I’ll make myself a cup of tea. I doubt it will keep me awake since I’m pretty sure the heat will instead 🙂 🙂 🙂

Have a great day!

Scandinavian hot and I don’t like it.

· 2 Comments ·

The car thermometer said 29C (84,2F) when I was almost at home and I must say I really don’t like this heat!! As a Scandinavian I’m not used to this kind of heat but preferred our more cooler summers. I do know some people actually loves this I’m happy for them but I’m personally not especially pleased 🙂 🙂 🙂

The gooseberries are almost ripe.

No summer without Californian poppies. I only had a few this year unfortunately.

My plan was to mow the lawn after I had come home after work but since I don’t plan of dying because of heat stroke and/ or total dehydration I skipped it. The dogs tried to play in the garden but gave up pretty quickly and happily went indoors when I opened the door 🙂 They are now sleeping beside me and not even the sound of cars or barking dogs seems to get any interest.

My little meadow is filling up with flowers now. Lots of different coloured Clarkia.

Yarrow grows there too, I better keep an eye on those because they tend to take over totally.

I’m trying to bake the second loaf of bread right now and this time I’ve adjusted the machine for a big loaf. I have however added some cheese this time, a strong cheese I rarely find in the stores. How’s this will affect it all I have no idea though. It’s around an hour left before it’s ready and I guess a few more minutes until I can slice that first piece 🙂 I’ll let You know how everything turnabout tomorrow.

One of my Mock oranges surprised me with a few more flowers.

The entire weekend will be this hot and how people can survive even higher temperatures is an enigma to me. The highest temperature I’v been in was 36C (96,8F) and I didn’t do a thing as soon as the temperature rose. The plants seems to like it a lot though, especially since we had all that rain the other day. I don’t think I need to water anything the coming days 🙂 🙂 I have noticed that we have more mosquitoes now though, good for birds and bats but for me it’s just another thing to be annoyed about 🙂 🙂

Finally a bean stalk not eaten by snails.
My three Pawpaw seedlings, the two closest started growing this year and the third is from last year but mice ate most of 🙂 I really need to figure out how to have them during winter this year so I can plant them next spring.

We’ll have a walk early tomorrow morning while it still is a bit cooler and perhaps I can mow some of the lawn as well, my neighbours mowed the outside parts yesterday, I had a text message from them if it was ok to mow the lawn at 9 pm, it had finally cooled down so who would In have been to say no 🙂 🙂  I won’t have any tea today, instead I bought a bottle of elderberry Ade so I’ll have that instead 🙂

The two younglings in the Forest doves nest 🙂

Have a great day!

Thunder and lightning.

We had thunder all day yesterday way in to the night and torrential rain as well and I loved it, especially since none of the dogs are afraid of thunder. Instead they insist on going out and only rain can get them to quickly go indoors again 🙂 🙂 The monsterkitten didn’t seem to mind either, she even went outside when it rained 🙂

So yesterday was hot and sticky but today was and still is way worse and we also have sunshine but that actually makes it feel less horrible, it sort of dries out the air so it doesn’t feel like living in a sea, bath 🙂 Still it’s so hot that the dogs gave up on playing after just a few minutes and now they’r sleeping on the floor beside me. It has been horrible at work just because of the heat and we’re all drinking water like we were elephants 🙂 I must say it is an odd workplace in so many ways but they do make sure that we all get as much fluid replacement as we need. It doesn’t matter what taste those pills have they all taste awful but they do help and that’s the important thing.

I have at least three different Bluebells in my garden now.

A primula has decided it’s spring again 🙂 🙂

I now have a memory foam pillow and I slept so well that My neck didn’t hurt this morning. I also got my winter duvet, a warm one according to the seller that specialises in beds and sleeping. Some time after week 32 I’ll get my new mattress pad but yesterday I got something I realised I need. I realised that when I baked bread when it was 27C (80,6F), it isn’t nice to bake bread in that temperature, so I bought a bread baking machine 🙂 I would ahem liked to tell You that the first bread was a totally success but it wasn’t 🙂 🙂

Normally strawberries gives berries in spring, I got a few but that was it. However for some reason I do get berries from now on and until the frost stops them. I have never heard about autumn strawberries but I’m not complaining 🙂

The machine has a gluten free setting so that wasn’t the problem. I need to either use the bigger loaf adjustment or less water because it hadn’t baked properly in the middle. Worked great to toast though. Unfortunately it take much longer to bake it in the machine than if I do it with the old oven, almost twice the time, so I’ll use it on Fridays and the weekend. I’ll let You know how the second loaf turns out as soon as I’ve baked it.

My Chinese Catalpa have buds now. Unfortunately the flowers will be at the top of the tree and they are rather small and yellowish.

Oregano in bloom. If You once plant or sow Oregano You will never be without it 🙂

No tea today, it’s just too hot but thankfully I have water or lots of milk so I’ll have that instead 🙂 🙂

Have a great day!

I want good weather for those on vacation but really bad for us who works :-)

I’ll get lots of peas this year, this is only one of places where they grow 🙂

Windy and partly cloudy or is it partly sunny? I’ve never know which one to use 🙂 🙂 I did three rounds of laundry this morning and it all dried up really quickly. Just enough warm though so I can’t but enjoy the day 🙂

I have several Honeyberry bushes beside the root zone and they needed to be trimmed because they were growing out over the root zone (my grey water filtration system). I also have a Hardy Kiwi vine growing there and it grew all over the place so I think I removed around 80% of the vegetation 🙂
the other side.
The last of the Mock orange flowers.
Troll grapes, not to eat because they are poisonous.

The weather sites are still rather divided on if we’ll get rain or not but they all agree that it’ll be really hot from Thursday and though the weekend. I do wish really nice weather for those having vacation right now but want cool weather since I’ll be working 🙂 🙂  These weather guesses will of course change multiple times before it’s time and not even then they might be right 🙂 🙂

My neighbours, well at least one in the family 🙂 has decided they’re going to have chickens, the new neighbours have too many. I wouldn’t mind having some myself but have decided that I’ll wait until I’m retired. Yews they are cute and it is nice to have ones own eggs but there’s lots of work, they need food and they tend to draw mice and rats who wants that food as well 🙂 🙂  All I hope though is that both Alma and Malkolm won’t try to catch them when they are outside the chicken yard 🙂 🙂 🙂

Most of the Bellflowers are invasive or weeds as we tend to call it and this and the next one is no exception 🙂

The Wood Pigeon now have at least two chicks in the nest 🙂 I really like that such a shy bird nests in my garden, for the second year in a row 🙂

It’s time for a pot of tea and after that I’ll continue to re-pot my citrus trees. I also have a few melon plants that grows by the livxingroom window that I need to do something about. Most years snails and slugs tend to eat the plants so I was wondering if I should just leave them where they are and if there would be melons growing on them try and grow them there. They do need bigger pots though and perhaps one or two must be moved to the kitchen window where they will get lots of sunshine. The problem with the kitchen window is that there’s where I have most of my cacti 🙂 🙂 🙂 Could be painful to move them 🙂 🙂

My little meadow look so much better than last year. The photo doesn’t do it justice but You can see different dots with blue and other colours 🙂

Have a great day!

Todays test photo shows our garbage bins. The green ones if for normal trash and the browns are for food. I almost never throw away food so I’v placed min the wrong way so they don’t have to try and empty it.

It was even nicer this morning, the temperature had dropped down to 7C (44,6F). We did have some morning mist but not as much as yesterday. It is quite common for us to have cool and mostly cold nights and mornings here and that’s why we get all that morning mist when the sun rise and heat up the ground.

It never became that hot as they had predicted thankfully 🙂 but that just made it less hot in the factory and we also had a rather strong wind, so I hoped that the wind would blow away all the flies when we were out walking but oh how wrong that was, the wind blew from the wrong direction so the forest stopped it. Still I don’t think we had a single biting fly pestering us, only the forest flies, so that was a great plus. We didn’t see the fox cubs but they are still hanging around because they had left some poop on the road 🙂 🙂 So if we’re out early tomorrow we might have a chance to see them if they still are here.

It might be impossible to see if You look at this photo on Your mobile phones but on top of that dead tree trunk sits a blackbird with larvae in its mouth.

Nothing much has happened here otherwise. I’ve ordered a memory foam pillow today, I’ve never had one so I hope it is as good as it’s said they are. I’ll also order a duvet, a warm one for the winter. I like it to be warm when I fall asleep but always lower the temperature on the radiator when going to bed. My last duvet was treated the same way as my mattress so at the moment I just have a fleece blanket and that won’t help much when the temperature drops on a winters night 🙂

One of my favourite wild flowers just because the flowers are so tiny. The Swedish name for it is Forest lettuce but it is definitely poisonous so they could have chosen a better name for it 🙂 🙂 🙂

It is supposed to rain on and off the entire coming week but the temperatures will be high, it’ll be like living in a steam bath 🙂 🙂 🙂 Then again I think all of You know by now that it isn’t often they are right in their guessing 🙂 🙂 It could just as well be cold and sunshine or what ever else will pass us on its way 🙂 🙂 Despite all the rain we’ve gotten lately it still is rather dry in the forest, good if one doesn’t like slugs who need wet grounds to grow and lay eggs, bad if one has a shallow well because it will most likely soon dry out if this continues. My well is deep so I don’t have to worry thankfully.

It’ll be an apple year this year. This apple hangs on the tree I once sowed and my neighbours said that it was the most delicious apple they’ve ever eaten. The problem is that it is prune to be hit by different fungus diseases so I never get many apples from it. If I get lots this year I’ll try them in a pie 🙂

It is time for that last cup of tea and perhaps a sandwich or two. There’s nothing worth watching on tv, mostly reruns or things I don’t like. So I’ll be in the garden with the dogs and monsterkitten, they’ll take turn is chasing each other 🙂

Have a great day!

It was easier than I thought.

According to the weather sites we’re having sunshine right now, we don’t 🙂 🙂 🙂 but it is at least not raining. It rained so much last night that I had little lakes in my garden even though it’s just sand and no soil. I do hope that there won’t be any long living puddles anywhere because that would most likely become a mosquito explosion because that’s what they like, small long living puddles where the eggs can hatch.

For me it’s enough with the forest flies 🙂 🙂 So many now and even though they are quite harmless I still can’t stand them. I went to the bank yesterday to see if they could help me to renew my bank id because when reading their info about it I would need either an international id card costing around $ 45 US or a new passport and both would take several weeks to get and we use our bank id for everything here. Turns out that somewhere in the text it tells about another way, I should just open my banks app, press the button to renew my bank id and then ok it by using the bank id I have now 🙂 🙂 🙂

Why don’t write that first of all??? I wonder how many have gotten a new id card they don’t need just to fix the bank id and for money they might not have? Anyway it made my day so much better so I really didn’t complain 🙂 🙂 After that I made a visit to my old work friends and then stopped by at the grocery store to shop and also pay them a visit since I’ve been shopping there since I moved to this region, 28 years ago, I still shop there every now and again even though I really have no reason to go there since it’s further away from my cottage than most other stores but they sort of are my friends too 🙂

I’ve ordered a new bed mattress online (well it’s actually a thinner mattress that one put over the mattress for the sheets to be folded over but I have no idea what that can be called). I know one really shouldn’t but instead go to the store and try them out but to be honest I wouldn’t know anything more after trying several since it takes a few days or more to actually know if it is a good mattress or not anyway. I was close to buy a Hastens (for You who don’t know about Hastens bedd, it is a luxury brand that mostly rich people buy, like sheiks 🙂 ) but they didn’t have the size I need. They had bigger and they had smaller but not the size to my bed. No I’m not rich but they had a sale with very reduced prices.

Today I got a message that it will be delivered week 32 directly from the factory even though it said they had them in stock. Also on sale by the way but still rather expensive but when one need a new mattress one must buy it, night sleep is so important so if one can afford it one better buy it.The monsterkitten did horrible things to my old duvet last winter so I need a new one when winter arrives but I better order one since I’m getting a mattress and perhaps buy new pillows as well. I want firm pillows but still to be able to shape them as I want 🙂 🙂 I do that when I sleep I’ve noticed 🙂 🙂

Also my remote to the tv has died, not a huge problem except for that it’s really hard to see what one is doing when trying to do it on the tv itself. It’s made to look invisible and they’ve been quite successful in doing that so I need a flashlight to be able to see even where I can do it 🙂 🙂

Have a great day!

Lots of rain and I like it :-)

I always take a test photo when we’re going out for our walks and it is usually this one 🙂

It has been raining all night and almost all day since I went to bed yesterday night.but there was a moment when it didn’t early this morning so the dogs and I went out for our morning walk. Didn’t last for long though before the misty rain arrived and later on just before we arrived at home we had heavy showers 🙂 🙂 🙂

We did at least have a walk and despite Alma trying to rip off my arm while passing the new neighbours she behaved really well 🙂 🙂 No screaming at all and only a quiet whining 🙂 I had hoped to see the fox cubs again so I brought a bigger lens but had no such luck plus the misty rain stuck to the glass on the lens like it was velvet  🙂 🙂 🙂 it was a nice walk though because it looks like misty rain is a mortal enemy to flies as well, almost no flies fly around when we have misty rain, I guess their wings just sticks together when those small droplets fill the air.

I had to save a lot of the potted plants from the rain water today, normally it’s saving them from not getting water but today I had to remove all the plates they stood on because the rain just kept filling them up. I always feel a bit torn placing pots directly on the ground because small red ants tends to move in, small red ants with a good ability to sting and the pain is quite gruesome. Also lots of other animals move in as well and as long as they are outside and those animals can come and of they do no harm but when I bring them in during winter they tend to start eating on the plant because they have no other place to go.

I have also had a long nap, Alma and I took a long nap in one of the sofas and Malkolm decided it was a bit crowded so he had the second sofa to himself. Alma is rather big so I must say it was a bit uncomfortable but we shared that two people sofa rather well to be honest and since the air is a bit damp and cool today it helped me to stay warm 🙂

I really should bake some bread today but I just don’t have the energy to do it. I am rather glad I mowed the lawn yesterday because it would have been impossible for my mower to cut it the next time we have sunny or at least dry weather, it wasn’t exactly pleased to do it yesterday as it was, I hadn’t mowed the lawn in one and a half week and ad water to that and I think it would have died 🙂 I like this mower so I really don’t want to have to buy another one 🙂

Potato flowers are actually quite beautiful.

It is time for a pot of tea and perhaps I will read one of all the books I’ve started to read but never finished 🙂 They are all really good, I just haven’t had the energy to read for quite some time but it feels like that’s slowly changing now 🙂

Have a great day!

Then showers passed by.

Lots of the photos will be bait fuzzy today because the lens I used doesn’t have that anti-shaking thing.

It started to drizzle some while I mowed the lawn, I started as soon as I had come home and thought we could have our walk after I was done. But as soon as I stopped mowing heavy showers arrived So we stayed at home instead. The dogs did try to go outside during the rain but turned around and came back in instead 🙂

They say we’ll get plenty of rain the coming four days as well and we need it but it would be nice if it rained while I was working and the sun then shone for the rest of the day 🙂 So far we haven’t had lots of mosquitoes or other biting flies but I think this rain will change that. These last days I’ve had two mosquito bites and one from a horse fly I think. The horse fly bite is worst because the itching after stays for so long.

During the months when I was unemployed I never had any leg cramps but lots before when I had a job. Now they are  back. I drink lots of water at work and at home so I don’t think I can drink any more than I do so I wonder why I get them? I guess one thing could be that I stand up all day at work but then again shouldn’t every one who do get those leg cramps as well? It is ok if it happens during the day but I really hate when it happens when I’m deep asleep and quite often while I try to stretch the cramps away I get it in the other leg as well and that’s horrible because when I try to remove it from one leg it makes the other leg hurt even more 🙂 🙂 🙂

The survivor and the two seedlings from this years Pawpaw seed sowings.

I have a soft spot for Fuchsias but now days I only have this one and the Hardy Fuchsia.

I’m sort of glad it will rain a lot tomorrow because then I can’t do anything outside, so I’m already planning on having a long nap 🙂 🙂 🙂 well I might bake a bread but there still would be lots of time to take naps while it rises and when it is in the oven 🙂 It is time for that last cup of tea for the day and after that I’ll see if there’s anything to watch on tv but I doubt that 🙂

Troll grapes.

Have a great day!

Only took me seven? months to figure out :-)

It’s a Scandinavian hot day today, 27C (80,6F) and I’m not too happy about it. Too warm for a walk, the dogs just ran in to the garden and laid down on the grass when I came home. They tried to play some but gave up 🙂 I covered all windows before I left this morning with the result that it was only 24C (75,2F) indoors. Still pretty warm upstairs so I might spend the night in a sofa in the livxingroom instead.

Tomorrow will be even warmer, possibly 30C (86F) but Thursday it will fall down to just below 20C (68F) and it will also rain quite a lot if they’re guessing it right. This is still nothing compared to how hot it is down in Spain and Portugal, temperatures there reach well over 45C (113F) so I really don’t have a lot to complain about to be honest 🙂 🙂 🙂 

I should have mowed the lawn yesterday but it was already warm so I skipped it, so I really should have mowed the lawn today but it was even warmer so no. Tomorrow will be nasty so I won’t even think about it 🙂 🙂 🙂 The good thing is that the dog house is placed on the north side of the wood shed so it was actually quite nice in there, so the dogs were naturally not there but in the garage instead. To be honest even though the old garage is made with tin walls and roof it still is quite cool there during hot days, can’t explain it really because it, by logic, should be hot as h..l in there, plus the dog yard is shadowed most of the afternoon by big trees just outside the fence so it wasn’t too bad there either, it will be tomorrow though.

This Pawpaw is most likely four years od and sown from a seed (bought it so it isn’t any of my seedlings) and it grows much better than

the name variety, just as old and bought at the same time. The name variety is said to have earlier ripening fruits so it should be ahead of the other one.

The White mulberry tree I bought sort of died but now a new shoot comes from the roots. I haven’t seen any place It’s grafted so if I’m lucky it will still give good tasting berries.

It is time for something cool or cold to drink and then maybe some ice cream 🙂 By the way, I couldn’t get any sound coming out of this computer I bought last autumn. I’ve really tried to because it has a camera so why should it not have sound. Turns out on had to go deep in to the settings to start the speakers and now I have it 🙂 🙂 🙂

Have a great day!
