I woke up a bit to late to see any colors on the morning sky today. It was probably beautiful because we had a lot of fog here in the morning.

Now beginns the time when suddenly some people thinks that the cute kittens they got in the beginning of summer, suddenly isn´t that cute any more. So either they take the cat in to the car and drives away for some length and then throws the kitten out of the door or they just leave it at the summer cottage when going home for autumn. If they find the cat next time they visit the cottage they tell them selves that this is what the cat wants and that it can take care of it self. If they don´t find it they tell themselves that the cat has walked to another home to get adopted there?? !! It´s easy to lie to one self isn´t it?

The clouds lay thick around mount Mösseberg.

But the sun won and the fog clouds was driven away. Now on the other hand new clouds are comming from west, but the sun shines through them now and again.

Most cats doesn´t find a new home by them selves, they die! Either they are taken by a fox or other big enough animal or they are starving to death. If not diseases take them first of course. In any way they die they do it painfully and I think that people that does such a thing to an animal they once took care of should be treated the same way!

We can still find wild raspberiies out on the fields and in the forest. They don´t taste that delicious though.

You´ve seen these finger mushrooms before. But the older they get, the less fiery the colors get. But they are still rather beautiful I think.

I´ve already seen ads from animal rescue centres that they need emerency cat homes because they have no more space for the found cats. They say that we have over 100 000 stray cats in Sweden, half of them lives in the three big cities. I can´t for my life understand people doing something like that with their animals! At the same time I wonder why people doesn´t kastrates their pets to start with, when they know what most probably will happen when they sell (cheap) or give away a kitten in spring.

The geranium "Blekingeflickan" (or the girl from Blekinge, a southern county in Sweden) has started to flower again. Rain will unfortunally destroy the flowers quickly.

Echinops bannaticus, Blue Glow . Originally from southern Europe but can nowdays be found growing wild in Sweden. It has become a rather popular plant in the garden.

We sweeds always talks about how awful it is for the dogs in southern countries that has no homes and are running around to find food all the time, perhaps bringing diseases to humans. We always tell our selves that we are so much better here at home tapping our selves on the shoulder. Unfortunally that is a big lie! I know a person that works at a animal shelter and she told me that people nowdays treat our dogs like we treats our cats. Drive far away and throw the poor dog out in to the wildernes. Normally it´s a mixed breed that they have bought cheap somewhere and they don´t want to pay anything to get rid of it. Fortunally nowdays the price of mixed breeds have gone up rather much. They are usually healthier than the others because the lack of inbreeding that has been so popular with pedigree dogs. Everything to keep the bloodline.

The clematis 'Propertius' flowers all summer and a long time in to autumn. It has a rather nice but weak scent. One of its parents is Clematis coreana.

Sunflowers pop up here and there after all seeds we´ve given to the birds during winter. Otherwise they don´t grow in Europe.

My leaf cactus has opened one of its buds! They are so fantasticly beautiful! This one has a rather nice scent too! If anyone wants to know its name, I think I have it in the pot.

Well nowdays the Swedish kennel club don´t allow inbreeding any more and pedigree dogs will be healthy dogs once again.

Nowdays it has become very popular to adopt dogs from countries like Spain, Rumania or Greece. Perhaps nothing wrong with that really, but we do have dogs here in Sweden that needs homes too, to many dogs infact. One problem with adopting a dog from those countries is that not all of them takes care of the vet examination properly. In fact some doesn´t even do one. So nowdays we´ve gotten some dangerous diseases here that we didn´t have before. Make one wonder doesn´t it? Why go throough all the troubles getting a dog from far away, risking getting in a disease when we have more that enough dogs to take care of here?

I wanted to take a close up picture of Teodor and Bertil, they didn´t :-) That´s whay they look a bit angry :-)

Every time I was close to get a good picture Bertil turned his head :-) He wasn´t to happy about the flash getting of either :-)

This summer there was this person that stole animals and killed and mutelated them. After he done that he posted what he had done in his blog. Fourteen cats and one dog in Sweden and another four cats in another country. He also wrote letters to the owners telling them how he had done it! Now he´s arrested! he´s menatlly ill and he even wrote in his blog that he probably was totally insane liking what he was doing. The good thing is that he went to the police admitting what he had done by himself. If he ever gets out of either prison or psykriatisk care he most probably will have to leave the country I think, he is already heavily protected during court hearings. They say that most serial killers starts out this way!

Well it rains at the moment so I better make myself a pot of tea and then go out and scare the magipes from flying into mu kitchen :-) Now they have also found out that my pond probably is their own bathtub :-) :-)

Have a great day now!
