No need to water anything today.

I managed to stay in bed for one hour longer than yesterday despite the dogs doing their best to drag me up and outside to the garden πŸ™‚ I have no idea what they wanted but they ran a lap along the fence and then they wanted to go indoors again, so I refused πŸ™‚ […]

Really nice fog this morning.

We had thick fog here this morning when I woke up and since it was fairly warm I guessed it wouldn’t stay for especially long, so I was in no hurry to go out for our morning walk. I realised after a while that it didn’t evaporate at all so out we went. Fog is […]

Another very pleasant day.

We went out on our morning walk quite early today, so that it wasn’t too warm to wear a fleece sweater when the sun reached me. We saw a couple of roe deer and the sound of the cuckoo birds echoed all over the area. The Monster decided that she would follow us on the […]

So much rain and I want more.

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 […]

Finally some rain.

We did get some rain last night, nice spring rain last evening and by the looks of it most likely drizzle for the rest of the night. Well we got rain and that’s the important thing. They’re guessing there’s a 95% chance of rain every day until Saturday night. They also say it’ll become warmer […]

Cold night but no moose.

It’s really annoying because they’ve changed things here on WP and not for the better I’m afraid, now I need to re-learn how to put in photos here in the post and I don’t like it. Before I had a bar above what I wrote where I easily could just press a media button and […]

Nasty work but it needs to be done :-)

  Even though it barely reached 10C (50F) and the wind kept on blowing it wasn’t that bad today. The sun shone all day long and most of the wind came from west so most of it never reached my garden. I picked off around 25 small ticks from the dogs after the morning walk […]

That wind never stops.

  Another summer warm day here but with an annoying wind blowing all the time, ok it is warm but the wind never seem to calm down any more. We’ll have one more nice day before the arctic winds return again. This time it looks as at least the nights will be warmer so they […]

Summer warmth.

The forest owner cut down three birch trees around the old root cellar. My neighbours will now have evening sun but I’ve seen them every day for 26 years so it looks so empty now. I had written a really long post and just had to leave the computer for a few minutes and during […]

Nasty arctic winds.

  Just as cold this morning as it was yesterday, -6C (21,2F) and that was one night too many for the annuals I put in the greenhouse to see how well they would do if the night would be as cold as that. Β Still a bitterly cold arctic wind blowing so it didn’t feel as […]

Warm weather is on the way.

  Yesterday was horrid, nasty cold and strong winds directly from the arctic and cloudy almost all day. Not even the dogs wanted to be outside for more than a few minutes at a time. I had turned off the radiator in my bedroom so I woke up freezing in the middle of the night […]
