No it´s not a small copy of a Gallow You can see in the middle of this foggy picture :-) It´s a welcome sign to the little village Gudhem (Goods home, a nice name don´t You think?)

The day started out with some rain and cloudy sky. But we had at leats not fog as they did up on the mountine as You can see on the top picture. The mountine Mösseberg isn´t that high, a bit more than 300 meters (a bit more tha 1000 feet) but clouds have a tendensy to cover the top in bad weather anyway. I went to the little store in Gudhem to see if I had won 145 million swedish kronor in the lottery (that would be around 19 333 333 US dollars). Well I didn´t but it seemes no one else did either, so next week it´ll be even higher winnings. The chance of actully winning the lottery is so small that it almost doesn´t exist. They say it´s a bigger chance to be hit twice by the same car on the exact same place in one week than to win :-) :-) But I´ll keep on trying anyway. I can´t win for sure if I don´t participate in the lottery.

I´ve never seen this kind of fungus before. It looks toxic I think :-)

Yesterday a six year old boy locked himself in in his own room. His father told him to go to the bed and stay there, so he could find another key to unlock the door. Well six years old boys have a logik of their own, why stay by the bed when one could climb out the window?? The problem was that they lived on the sixth floor! So he climbs out the window and ofcourse he falls.

There´s a lot of branches and twigs left in the forest after the thinning of it. But in a year or two this has been taken back to the nature covered with moss. But at the moment it´s a bit difficult to walk there for me.

But the story has a happy ending after all. Benieth, on a terrace, stands a man that understands what is going to happen when he sees the boy. During this time the police has arrived but runs to the wrong floor. When they finally reaches the right appartement the boy falls. Luckily for the boy the man benith decides he will try to catch the boy as good as he can. They boy hits him first in the head and then on the shoulder and that brakes the fall so much that the only injury he gets is a broken arm. The man who tries to catch him has a bit of a problem with one of his eyes where the boy hit and has to go to an orthopedic because he has some pain in his shoulder and neck, but everything looks as if he wount get any problems in the future anyway. I can only hope that I would do the same thing if I saw a child fall out of a window on the sixth floor, but I think most of us would.

Thistles are still flowering and they are loved feeding station for nectar drinking insects.

Bertil is still folowing us on our walks, his brother Teodor is rather much still at home.

I was thinking of going to my last home to look for mushrooms today, but I have no rubber boots and that is a must when walking there. Some places has so much grass that never dries in autumn so I would be soaking weat if not having any. There are lots of mooses there too, so one can never really relax when going around looking for mushrooms. But I saw fresh moose droppings in our forest yesterday too and I could hear a moose cow calling on her calf perhaps 500 meters from me and my dogs (about 1600 feet away). So we started to walk homewards when I heard that, it´s not a good idea to come between a moose cow and her calf I can tell You. Mosses can kick in all directions and aim good.

Well, the sun is shining and it´s time for a cup of tea on mu kitchen stairs.

Have a great day now!

These red berries looks tasty doesn´t they? But that would be some of the last things one would do if eating them. They are the berries from "The Lily of the valley"

Young white toadstools. If eating these one gets very sick shortly after. The next day one feels ok and perhaps forgets about it. After two weeks one dies. Every internal organ then collapses and one can´t be saved. Happens to a couple of persons every year it seemes.

I just have to show You this spider. I was taking in some barrels this monday to fill with the powderpaint from our big filtres. This spider then jumped at me :-) I got really scared, but not as mucg as the spider I think :-) The body of it is about 2,5 centimeters (that would be around 1 inch) It´s not especially poisouness to humans but I do suffer from a touch of arachnophobia
so my heart did beat a bit faster when I saw it :-) Small spiders are ok, but big!!!!
