So we didn’t get any rain at all really :-)

  We didn’t get especially much rain this weekend, almost nothing actually. It went east of us and those places that were hit had more rain on one day than they usually have the entire month of August. So I can’t say I’m sorry it missed us 🙂 High humidity, fairly warm and a dark […]

Good bye forest flies, welcome Moose flies.

Yesterday evening they moved the cattle from the pasture beside my cottage to the one on the other side, beside my garage. Normally I really wouldn’t notice it but suddenly I heard the farmer calmly say no, no, no. I figured it was one of the cows that wanted to follow the road instead of […]

Does everyting come from China now days?

It is still rather warm here, 25C (77F) and I can’t remember when we had this high temperatures this late in August the last time. It’s actually quite nice since we also have had a nice breeze blowing. It will continue like this until at least the weekend if they’re guessing right. It is amazing […]

Busy day.

The weekend has been rather nice. Fog a big part of yesterday morning and sunshine in the afternoon. Today chilly and sunny in the early morning with just a tad of morning mist and this afternoon is just enough warm with a light but cool breeze. High humidity though and that sort of brings down […]

Two aggressive thunderstorms.

We’ve had two incredibly aggressive thunderstorms passing by yesterday and today.The app the counts how many lightnings we had within thirty minutes jumped up to well over 1000 pretty quick. It also stayed there for well over two hours, both yesterday and today. We didn’t get that much rain yesterday but nature fixed that pretty […]

At least the morning was cool.

Clear sky and 8C (46,4F) when we went out on our morning walk today. At 10:30 the sky was still clear and blue but the temperature had risen to 26C (78,8F). Still a clear and blue sky and now it’s 29C (84,2F) and I’m not sure if it stops there or will get even warmer. […]

I want a new coffee maker.

It is relatively hot here today so we didn’t take any walk after work. The dogs played some while I was watering the vegetables but as soon as they came indoors they just started to sleep where they were and they’ve only changed location because I went upstairs to the computer. It’ll be even hotter […]

The first harvest :-)

I noticed that in one of the plastic buckets where I put the spruts that fell off from the potatoes I was planting the leafs suddenly had gotten small black spots and that’s a sign that they are infected with potato blight. No bigger problem as long as one remove all green above surface before […]

Apricot and banana jam :-)

So today is the last day of my vacation, tomorrow is just an ordinary weekend. One could say that the vacation actually goes on until Sunday but I prefer to feel that Sunday’s just another Sunday and the day after is a work day, feels less dramatic that way 🙂 Still I could win the […]

I’ve failed the only goal I had :-)

I’ve failed the only goal I had for this vacation and it was such an easy goal to reach to be honest. I had decided that I should take a nap every day all four weeks but I’ve only really done it since last Friday 🙂 🙂 🙂 (I don’t count dozing off in front […]

It could have rained a bit more.

It rained during last night and it was quite nice to step outside when I let the dogs out. We didn’t get especially much though but any drop helps. We didn’t have any morning walk today because I wanted to go to the pet store and buy that spray that ticks don’t like. I guess […]
