It was actully sunny when I woke up rather late this morning. The garbage truck woke me up around seven am. I usually gets a head ace when I sleep so long in the morning, but the cup of tea I have beside me usually helps getting rid of it.
But when we started our morning walk the clouds came rapidly and with them the winds and rain. The wind is already at gale strength outside and it will get even harder they think.

I´ve become a rather good farmer latly. I have two cows, one chicken and lots of different fruit trees and grows anything from wheat to pumkins. As You surly understand this doesn´t happen in real life :-) No I have a little farm on Facebook :-) It´s rather fun but the crops grows a bit too fast I feel :-) So now it hurts a bit when I read that we are going to have to pay if we wants to keep on facebooking. Not especially much, only a couple of US dollars a month. This will happen already now in August, so I´ll say good bye to my farm and all my friends at facebook then. I think it´s fun with facebook, but not that fun.

In the old days they used what they had when they made fences. On this tree they didn´t even bother to remove all tree bark before attaching the barbed wire. Nowdays they don´t use barbed wire at all, only electric fences.

Bertil takes a nap on the entance stairs.

Clematis 'The President', my absolute favourite amongst clematises.

Well theré are a lot of other places we can meet our friends on the net and someone will surly start a new place much like facebook, it´s just a matter of time I think. Now I´ll have to leave You. I have some orange trees that I have to harvest oranges from and perhaps one of my cows is ready to be milked :-)

Have a great day now!

I´ve always thought that this is some kind of Aeonium, but I´m not sure any more. Since it´s hairy it probably grows on high hights to protect it from frost at night and hot sun during days. It´s a long lived plant that can be rather miss treated without complaining. But I noticed a rather cold winter (over freezing point though) is what it likes. Easy to take cuttings from too. I´ll take pictures when the flowers open up.

The first Holy hocks to flower. It´s an Alcea rugosa.
