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 […]

Almost as nice today :-)

The weather has been nice today but not as nice as yesterday. Mostly because the clouds stayed for much longer this morning than they did yesterday morning and we’ve had some wind and three drops of rain. All in all though it has been one of the nicer days this summer 🙂 We walked out […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

A bit chilly before the next heatwave.

So it was only 2C (35,6F) last night, when we went up and out, way too early, it had risen to 4C (39,2F) and I would lie if I said it felt nice 🙂 Still it really woke me up and gave me a good start to the working day 🙂 🙂 🙂 Anyway, so […]

Cool and rain.

So it has finally cooled down and with that we also got rain. We’ll get lots of it if we’re lucky because no matter how much I dislike rain we do need it now. I’ve started to work at 6 am now so the pool robot cleaners get enough time to clean up before the […]
