I´ve shown You many sunrises now, but they are beautiful.

I got a bit surprised when I came to work today, everything was as it should be :-) The things they said that I should paint were actully there :-) I´m painting hughe ventilation pipes to Volvo and they are screwed on pallets. Some of the pipes are really heavy and some of the pallets are in bad shape and it´s not good if they combien those two. They had done that this time. I´m driving slowly with my forclift when suddenly the big pipe falls of the pallet. It took me an hour to get it back and screwed on again. It sounded like a big church bell when it fell to the ground and Hector hasn´t forgiven me yet :-)

The clematis 'Tove' climbs up a dead plum tree. Next year it will cover it totally.

It´s summer outside today. The ever lasting wind is warm too and it´s to strong for the flies so they hide in the bushes, that´s at least one good thing with the wind :-) Yesterday I decided that it was time to get all plants out from my cold basement where they are during winter. They looked a bit gloomy even if I have extra powerful light down there, so I got my cutting scissors. Not much left of them now, but they´ll be great in a week or two if the nights woun´t be to cold.

Lewisia cotyledon. This one can take our cold waether over here, but it can´t take cold weather and rain. So if not protected it will root during winter. The first flower opened today :-)

My good frien Woody made a slideshow with my pictures and added great music to them this winter. If You want to see it just click on Good old Beans and there it is. I think he did a great job!
Have a great day now!

P.S. If You want I can show You an x-ray picture of how my right hip looks after the operation. D.S.

Iris pumila. This iris only gets about ten centimeters high ( four inches). This variety is called 'Helge'. The first iris to start blooming in my garden.
