Midsummer.

The morning was just cool enough to keep the flies away but still warm enough to let the mosquitoes fly around when we went out on our morning walk at 5:30 am. We couldn’t stand still for especially many seconds before we were swarmed by the annoying insects and now all the dogs have itching […]

Nice and gentle rain but we need more.

It has been raining since early morning, a nice gentle rain far from what we actually needed, heavy showers would have been much better but I’m happy for what I got. They say we’ll get more rain in the coming week, not enough once again, and it’ll stay cool for a day or so before […]

They’re guessing we’ll get rain tomorrow.

It has been so hot this week that we haven’t been on walks at all. Nova is old and Albins fur isn’t good at regulating his temperature. Even Alma has been a bit off because of it. I’ve been working in my old department at work and it’s even hotter in there than standing in […]

Almost forgot :-)

I almost forgot to write something here today. I can’t say that I’ve been very busy but I’ve been doing things all day but in a slow but steady pace. We’ve been out on our walks so now we all have plenty more mosquito bites but it looks like the dogs don’t feel the itching […]

Felt warmer than it was.

The thermometer said it wasn’t that hot today, 23C (73,4F) but the dogs said otherwise. The cool wind should have helped one could think but it didn’t. I mostly hid in the shadows so to me the day has been pretty nice 🙂 It was rather cool in the early morning though and it seems […]

Poor little cat.

So yesterday when I came to work I noticed something fluffy and white lying in the middle of the road without moving. It didn’t take long before I saw that it was a cat. For some reason no one stopped to check on it and at that time there’s a lot of traffic. I parked […]

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 […]

Lots of thunder lately.

We’ve had lots of thunder lately and today is no exception. It has stayed calm for a while but now it’s closing in again. I don’t mind since the heat will cool down for at least a while. Yesterday and before noon today the weather guessings showed that we could possibly get up to two […]
