It´s still dark outside when I´m going to work, so today I´m showing You a picture from yesterdays sun set.

No one won the big lottery this weekend, so now we can win even more. Well we can, but almost all, all but one woun´t win these money. But it is at leat exiting as long as no one wins it, the chanse is till there for all of us :-)

I had to show You a picture I took yesterday. Hector is usually never still for more than a couple of seconds, so this was a rare moment I couldn´t miss :-)

The pictures today comes from our walks yestaredy and today.

It´s been a wonderful evening today and I heard that it was an even more wonderful day. So they said at least. I have no idea to be honest, I can´t see the outside while working. But it was atleats very warm inside the factory and it usually is if the sun shines. My workplace can be a nightmare during warm summers. The sun is warming up the factory and I work beside a big owen where the paint is "baked" :-) I also have the big warm washing mashine that washes everything I´m going to paint. But during winter my workplace is heaven :-) Then it´s the only place in the factory where it´s nice and warm. As soon as people from ather places in the factory gets a chance, they come in to me and gets warm by the owen :-) Today it was something in between, because it was really cold this late night and morning.

We call this Autumn Aster. They usually flowers even if we get strong frost. Other asters doesn´t.

Can You see the spider on the lily?

Most of the flies that I have hated all summer is now gone. So one should think that I´m happy as a bird now. But NO! There is still one flie that I hate even more that starts to make our lives bad :-) It´s the Moose flie or as it also is called the Deer louse. Normally they don´t bite humans, only the different deers we have. Those they do bite can get a påroblem that most people doesn´t know of. Peolpe that do get bitten can start to lose some of their hair. One of my neighbours wondered why she lost a lot of hair every autumn found out that it probably is these flies doing that. I don´t get bitten, but I get cold shivers down my spine just by thinking of them.

Another picture with Hector in it standing still! This must be my lucky day :-)

The flie is rather small, like a house fly. But the trouble with it is that it just laughes at You if You hit it. It just continues to crawl to a place where it can see bare skin. Its legs sort of hooks themselves in to what ever clothes they are walking on, or Your hair. You hit it and hit it and it doesn´t even get bothered by it. On mooses they dig in like a tic and loses its wings. When it has been drinking enough blood it just drops its larvaes to the ground and . Sometimes I wake up at night feeling something crawling on me, most probably it´s a moose flie. It can stay hidden in my hair all day and start wondering around at night. Or they can stay on my dogs too ofcourse and fly around inside at night. I really hate them! Thankfully their season is very short, so after a couple of weeks they are all gone again. Here´s a link to Wikipedia if You want to see how the wonderful little monster looks like: Älgfluga
Just thinking about this makes me feel like there is something crawling around on me!

So now I´ll try to forget this and make myself some tea.

Have a great day now!

I´ll finish todays blog with pictures of the violettes still flowering in my garden.
