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 πŸ™‚ To be honest I do eat a lot of mushrooms but I don’t think […]

Heavy showers and thunder.

This spider lives at one of the kitchen windows, looks more scary than she actually is πŸ™‚ 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 πŸ™‚ 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 πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ 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 […]

The beginning of autumn?

I’ve already felt that there’s change in the air but even though it has been rather warm today that feeling is much stronger. Could be because the trees now are dropping their leafs but I think that’s mostly because of the drought we still have despite the latest rain and perhaps because of 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 […]

We’ve had really mixed weather this week.

We’ve had very mixed weather here this week, anything from sunny and Scandinavian hot to almost chilly and heavy rain. Today however has been rather nice, cool and sunny morning, a few hours with cloudy weather and now sunny and just enough warm. Strong winds blowing all wee though. Wee went down to the creek […]

Just as chilly today.

It’s bit chilly again today (and they’re saying it will be the same tomorrow but turn warmer on Tuesday. We’re lucky if it reaches 18C (64,4F) today. I don’t mind after the long heatwaves we’ve had. The morning was quite nice though, no wind, the sun rising and a few birds singing. It must have […]

It felt like an autumn day.

The temperature never rose above 12C (53,6F) today and I think that if I hadn’t known it will rise up to 20C (68F) already tomorrow it would have annoyed me quite a bit πŸ™‚ but I have to say it did feel rather nice despite it also raining well in to the afternoon. We needed […]
