You´ve seen my sunrises before, but I couldn´t resist taking a picture of this one yesterday.

I woke up quite early today, at five am. The weather is fantastic, yet I would write, because rain and strong winds are comming closer by the minute. There were no cloud at all in the sky when I got up and now two hours later theres lots of them. We have had some thunder close by these two late days but almost no rain. The grass on the lawn is starting to become yellow and that´s okey with me, the less it grows the more seldom I have to mowe it :-) I can always water the flowerbeds if there´s a need :-)

My favourite walk here, by the creek.

I can´t remember when waterlevel was so low last time and this is just the beginning of summer. But if summer becomes normal rains will fill it up in notime :-)

The things we painted that should have the same coating as a car came back to us yesterday. They sort of forgot that the surface still was very soft. That paint has no hardener in it, it has to dry for several days until it can take any pressure at all. So when they shipped it away the packed it really hard so it shouldn´t be able to move during transport. The problem was that the paint still was so soft that it moved instead :-) :-) Sometimes I wonder why they never ask me what to do since this is what I once learned at Volvo and they know I know this. There´s a lot of things I know nothing about what so ever, but this I know. So now they have to wait for the paint to dry and get hard so they can grind it down. After that I can paint it again. This can take weeks if unlucky, it all depends on the paint they used.

The Aquilegias has started too bloom.

I have a long weekend now, three days of free time :-) because on Saturday it´s the swedish national day. I think this is the first time, or is it the second? that it´s a holiday in Sweden. We haven´t had a national day for very long either. I think it was 1983 or so that they decided that we should have a national day at June sixth. Before that this day was the day of the swedish flag. When they made this day a holiday, they made us loose another holiday because they thought we had many eough as it was. We really don´t have many holidays over here, but we all have five weeks payed vacation every year instead. Most of us sweeds don´t know why we have the national day on June sixth and we really have no idea how to celebrate it. But I´ll tell You more about this on Saturday.

The Honeysuckle too. Now it´s time to start looking at it in the evenings. We don´t have hummingbirds here but we do have rather large night butterflies that people often misstakes for hummingbirds.

Oh, I almost forgot! The blood stains in my livingroom :-) It´s my and my animals blood, but not really any more. The season for mosquitos and ticks has come and they do drink a lot of our blood. I really don´t want them to drink more of us and I really, really don´t want them to get outside to lay eggs so there will be even more of them. So whenever I see a mosquito I´ll smack them with a newspaper and that makes all the bloodstains on the walls and the ceiling :-) Sometimes Imiss a tick or two on my pets and when they drop it seemes we all walk on them, so now there´s blood on the floor too :-) But how do one get rid of blood stains on a white surface? I have no good idea. I´ll probably have to repaint the room to get rid of it :-)
Have a great day now!

The first Larkspur for the summer.
