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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

I’m tired of this drought now!

Yesterday was horrible, temperature wise. 30C (86F) and the wind just made it worse by being warm as well. Everything dried out so I had lots of watering to do when I came back home from work. It did help some but there are lots of roots looking for those few drops of water they […]

Still summer warm.

The dogs woke me up at 3:20 am and I really didn’t want to get up. However if it was because they needed to do their business and I didn’t want it to happen indoors I had to get up. I’m not sure what they did because they ran around the garden a couple of […]

Not a start of the morning I like to have :-)

It was just before 4:30 this morning, I woke up to hearing the dings run up and down the stairs so I thought I better get up and let them out because I really didn’t want an accident happening just because I was to slow to open the door. Turns out that they really didn’t […]

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 […]

A bit chilly today.

Cloudy here today and every now and again some rain has fallen. Not much, not even enough to make the ground beneath the tree canopies even damp. Also a bit chilly since it just reached 17C (60,8F). The work week was warm though so I guess this weather made the day a perfect day to […]

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 🙂 but I have to say it did feel rather nice despite it also raining well in to the afternoon. We needed […]

Finally rain :-)

We didn’t get especially much rain during last night but what difference it made to the vegetation! Everything looked alive and that wasn’t the case yesterday. I must admit that I still felt a bit disappointed but it is what it is. We woke up around 3 am today and normally I would just have […]

Sun warm strawberries.

I’m sitting here in front of the computer eating strawberries that my neighbours kids thought I should have 🙂 Yes I am spoiled 🙂 🙂 They had been to one of the many self picking places today because the season for strawberries is almost open and this was supposed to be the last weekend they […]
