I found these small mushrooms in front of my garage door. I thought they were kind of cute :-)

I´m a bit late today. I had to much to harvest on my farm at FaceBook :-) :-) Autumn has stopped for a minute or two and summer warmth has come back for a while. But trees shows more and more that autumn is here by getting red and yellow leafs. Well autumn can´t be stopped in the long run so I better enjoy the heat as long as it stays.

This is a toadstool we call insidious toadstool. Sometimes it´s toxic and sometimes it´s not. Some can eat it for years without problems, some can´t even eat it once. So why try it?

In yesterdays blog I got the feeling that I described badgers as cuddly toys, but that is ofcourse not the truth. It´s a wild animal and if cornered or threatened it can be a wild beast that one doesn´t want to deal with. But if one doesn´t surprise it and scares it, they doesn´t bother about us humans. When I had a dogyard in Gothenburg there was a badger burrow just beside the entrance to the dogyard area. I met the male badger every morning when I arrived to leave my dogs before going to work. The badgers always go the same way in almost the exact time of night, they are really nocturnal. The first time I got so scared that I jumped back into my car directly, he too got scared :-) But the more often we met, the more we stopped to care about what the other one did. So we sort of said hello to each other and he never was bothered about my dogs eaither. The last day I had that dogyard I came a bit early just to see him for the last time. They are really beautiful even if they look a bit clumsy.

The old fungi has fallen of and a new is growing on the tree on the exact same place.

Badgers are also the only wild swedish animal that we are allowed to have as a pet. Not because they are peticular fit to have as pets. The hunters lobby group is strong You see. They mean that it´s impossible to train hunting dogs to hunt badgers if they can´t have tame ones. The dogs can´t reach the badger ofcourse, but they see how a badger reacts if a dog comes down in to a burrow. Personally I think that is a cruelty towards the badger. It might not get hurt physically, but the stress it gets during this so called training must be awful.

I´ve read about people having a badger as a pet, not as a training object though, and they say it´s a wonderful animal. But it has too sleep through the winter outside. Staying inside and awake will shorten their lives dramaticly. I think I would like to have a badger :-) :-)

No one won the lottery this weekend, so now we can win even more tomorrow. I know very well that the chance to win all that money is close to nothing, but I just have to try this week too :-) I woun´t stand a chance if I don´t play :-) What to do with the money if I win? Well I know I would stop working anyway :-) But I wouldn´t buy a new house, why would I want more to clean when I think it´s boring to clean this small place and I don´t want a stranger walking around in my house to clean it either :-) I would probably become slightly insane and go through other peoples garbage too see if they have thrown away something I could use :-) :-) :-)

Tomorrow it´s Wednesday and a blog free day for me. See you on thursday!

Have a great couple of days now!
