The days are getting shorter fast now. There´s daylight when I go up in the morning any longer.

First I want to thank You all for all nice comments on yesterdays blog! I´m really looking forward to this hip surgery. Especially after working properly for the first time after vacation today :-) I can really feel the difference from when I had vacation now. But soon it´ll be over :-) I and the owner also agreed on me going back to my ordinary workdays now. I don´t think that it´s especially fun sitting there Saturday and Sunday without having anything to do. Well I can surf the internet of course, but even that is a bit boring after a while :-) :-)

Yes, autumn is on its way now.

This is how it looks where they thinned out the forest last winter. Could have been much worse. Now light can come down and mushrooms will probably benefit from that I think, but also grass unfortunally.

Erna is doing really great now, she behaved like a puppy when we were going out on our little walk today :-) Jumping and having very fun with her two sons :-) If she will get problems after the snake bite it´ll show this weekend and a couple of days later. So let us all cross our fingers and hold our thumbs that nothing will happen. The pain she had on the place she was bitten is also gone now, so she´s in a great mood now!

This ditch is usually filled with water. Despite rain record this July it´s still very dry in the bog.

I´ve tried to find water hoses in the right dimensions to my pond pump and filter, but no one around has them. So now I have ordered them from the firm I bought the pump and filter from. This time we all know where the hoses will arrive :-) :-) The shipping firm did send me a mail to tell me that :-) :-) So with a bit of luck I´ll have clean water in the pond already this weekend.

This lily will only give one flower this year. Normally there are over twenty. Time to place them elsewhere perhaps?

I really like this fern, but it doesn´t grow at all. I hope it´ll make it over the comming winters.

Perhaps that isn´t such a good thing after all, then my cats can see my goldfishes all the way to the bottom and have a bigger chance to catch them :-) But they haven´t shown any bigger qualities for that yet anyway. It´s the problem getting wet at the same time as they try to catch the fishes :-) :-)

Snails eat parts of the plant that is dead or dying. The early drought have given them lots to eat now when it has rained here.

But if weather is going to be as they predicted they wount be close to the pond anyway. We will have rain most of the time if I understand them correct. But they haven´t had any luck in predicting the weather yet, so who knows :-)

Now it´s time to make dinner for tomorrow at work. I really don´t know what to do, so I´ll just look in the fridge or freezer to see what I have I think.

Have a great day now!
