A really nice day.

We have had a really nice day after a rather damp and chilly morning. It felt like it should be frost but it was all the humidity (98%) that made it feel so bad. That changed as soon as the sun rose and made life so much nicer. The good thing with these cold mornings […]

The forest is colourful now.

We didn’t have frost last night and neither did we have any fog, at least I don’t think so. For once I woke two hours later than usual so I can’t say for sure that no fog ever showed up here. We went out on our morning walk as soon as the sun had risen […]

Frost tonight?

I slept so bad on the night towards Friday that I thought it would be a really tough day to go through. I went up the last time I woke up, at 3:27 am according to my mobile, and guess that I felt really surprised because I haven’ felt that relaxed in a long time […]

More mushroom picking.

I had planned on having a long nap today, instead I once again fried mushrooms in butter. The last time that resulted in 1,496 Kg (around 3.3 lbs), today I can put 993 grams (2,2 lbs) in the freezer again 🙂 To be honest I do eat a lot of mushrooms but I don’t think […]

I forgot to bring a basket.

I think it was supposed to rain all afternoon but so far I think the worst we’ve had is some light drizzling 🙂 Well the weekend is young so there’s plenty of time for that rain to start falling. I just took a look at those weather sites and they’ve decided that the rain most […]

Two of my favourite weathers.

The day started misty and cool and turned to foggy after a while and after that we’ve had mostly sunshine and around 20C (68F) all day long 🙂 We walked down to the creek and followed it down-stream a while before we turned towards home again. Everything was soaking wet after yesterdays rain so I […]

Heavy showers and thunder.

This spider lives at one of the kitchen windows, looks more scary than she actually is 🙂 So we were supposed to have rain all day today so I wasn’t the least surprised that the sun shone here for several hours. The rain did come after a while though and how it rained 🙂 Heavy […]

Cloudy.

It was so dark this morning, the rain was falling and I couldn’t see a thing outside the windows when we woke up. I went outside to see if Doris the badger were here and then I let the dogs outside. They barely stayed out long enough to do their business to be honest. I […]

A rather nice day.

The rain is pouring down and all it took to make it start was my neighbour going outside working on their cottage 🙂 🙂 We did have some sunshine during the early day but clouds arrived pretty early and we had some drizzle as worst. Ten minutes in on him going outside and the rain […]

Rain!

We have a gentle summer rain falling, I hope it softens up the ground so that when the predicted heavier showers arrive that rain will sink down into the ground and not just out from my garden and in to the bog. So today was my last day working for the county, technically I should […]
