Finally they have opened up! My tree paeonys are of course big favourites of mine. But they don´t show their true colour until they have come up in age. The two I have of this sort was deep purple when young, now when older they are almost white and therefore, by some reason I don´t understand, more desirable by most people.

Summer is here again today and will stay until Tuesday if they are guessing right. There´s still a wind blowing, but now it´s so weak that the flies made lawn mowing awful. It´s not the bloodsucking monsters yet but those who only wants to get in to ones ears and nose to check what can be in there. But on the positive side the swallows has arrived to the village :-)

Cerastium tomentosum also called "Snow in summer plants" in english. If You have a dry, sunny and hot space where nothing else will grow, test this one. It covers hugh areas fast and flowers all summer.

I took a nap earlier today. I woke up already at 6:30 and really tired and irritated. I wonder what I had been dreaming of? My dogs realised that I was awake so they made sure that I got up too :-) But when I tried to take a nap suddenly I could feel the smell of fried potatoes. It´s impossible to sleep then, so I just lay there listening to the birds and smelling the potatoes :-) That was when I heard the typical sort of screaming sound of the swallows. I hope they´ll nest over my window this year too. They make a mess but that doesn´t matter.

The bumble bees are working hard now and don´t care if I come close with the camera.

Even if I really like the flowers on my tree paeonys usually my favourite flowers are quite small. Like on this geranium, Geranium phaeum or "Mourning widow" in english.

I could heare all kinds of birds and insekts flying just outside my bedroom window and my cats playing around undernieth it. But then I suddenly felt the smell of hamburgers getting fried and then it was impossible to stay in bed :-)

Violettes in different colours are popping up all over my garden. Some call them weed but I let them stay where they grow.

The 'Portal' is now closed in the top and behind it a world of magik begins.

They called from work today too. They have gotten something to paint that shall have the same finish on the surface as a car. We don´t have that kind of equipment to do a job like that, so they had borrowed it from someone. The problem is that they don´t know how to adjust the equipment so it works. It´s impossible to help by phone and the painter had no time to stay so I could go there and have a try with it. So that´ll be my job tomorrow. I did paint at Volvo once but that´s over twelve years ago :-) But the main problem is to make the equipment to work at all. So cross Your fingers or hold Your thumbs as we do in Sweden so I can get this thing work tomorrow.
Have a great day now!
