The night is here. I would have liked to say that it is calm and quiet outside but it sounds like someone is working with a digger on the other side of the village, can only hear it when being outside though.

Loves gardening, animals (especially dogs) and nature.
I've just been outside with the dogs and the morning is a bit foggy. A warm front is flowing in from south so right now the morning is warmer than it was yesterday. I like it 😁
No frost last night but no fog either. I do wish for a warm winter but I still would like this to be the last time I mowed the grass 😁 #autumn #colourful #walks #warmish #sunshine #mowing #nature #forest #moose-flies #tulip_bulbs New blog: thecottagebythecranelake.blog/2026/09/27/t...
The forest is colourful now.
We didn’t have frost last night and neither did we have any fog, at least I don’t think so. For once I woke two hours later than usual so I can’t say for sure that no fog ever sho…

She's about to check her queendom after staying indoors all night.
The same full moon at the same night but on the other side of the night sky.
They say we'll get a foggy night, hope so becsuse it's chilly and without fog I'm pretty dure we'll have frost tonight.
The evening is chilly, so much more so than what the weather sites say that I think we might have frost again tonight. #autumn #walks #sunshine #colours #lawn_mowing #flowers #apples #chilly #nature New blog: thecottagebythecranelake.blog/2026/09/26/f...
Frost tonight?
Do You remember that I sowed Autumn asters and New England asters last spring? At least one of them survived the drought :-) Too bad that Alma ripped off the stem but I did at least get a photo of …

Much the same weather all day, grey and dull and some sprinkling of rain on and off.
Alma realised that Doris the badger was walking outside then fence early this morning and all hell broke out 😄😄 They did at least not fight and it didn't take long for Alma to actually listen to me when I called her back to me. That's a big step inte the right direction 😁
I've started to bring down potted plants to the cool cellar, today i brought two pelargoniums (mostly called geraniums in the US). So the purple bellpeppers becomes orangey/red when older. I'll have this one for breakfast tomorrow.
So the night has arrived. We did have frost this morning but my garden is surrounded by high lilacs and other bushes so not even the most delicat flowers were touched by it. The night air has a bite to it now, so I hope the trees and bushen ptotect my garden again.
We don't have frost but it feels like we're close to it.
The night comes whether we want it or not. The day has been rather nice I think, saw some sunhine while I had my lunchbreak. Nights are chilly though so two radiators are on until we wake up.
It has been a lot go going out, running indoors again because of the very mixed weather 😄 #autumn #sunshine #cloudy #rain #windy #walks #nature #forest #creek #fields #roe_deer #monsterkitten New blog: thecottagebythecranelake.blog/2026/09/20/t...
The sun shone, then it rained and after that we had both at the same time :-)
Yes very mixed weather here today. The only time it was sort of stable was when we had our morning walk. Mostly sunshine then and only a few clouds disturbed the rays journey towards the ground. I …

It'll be much the same weather today they say. The morning is quite nice and it looks like we'll be able to see the sun shine, at least for a while 😁
It has been warm here but no sunshine and the expected rain came late, so all in all it has been a rather nice day. #walks #autumn #windy #mushrooms #nature #forest #weather #rain New blog: thecottagebythecranelake.blog/2026/09/19/m...
More mushroom picking.
I had planned on having a long nap today, instead I once again fried mushrooms in butter. The last time that resulted in 1,496 Kg (around 3.3 lbs), today I can put 993 grams (2,2 lbs) in the freeze…

Waiting for the daylight to arrive so that we can have our morning walk. It'll mostly be grey and dull with some light rain falling on and off and strong winds blowing all day long. The sun will possibly show itself in the afternoon.
The sun has set and the Monster refuse to go outside. Something is out there and it has to be bad for the Monster to stay indoors 😁
I now have so much mushrooms in the freezer that I'll only pick the tastiest ones from now on 😁 Mixed weather but still no nights with frost, I like that 😁 #autumn #walks #mushrooms #nature #monsterkitten #weather #tea #tired #insects New blog: thecottagebythecranelake.blog/2026/09/18/2...
I’ll only pick the tastier ones from now on :-)
This cloud mass missed us and I could see that it let go of its water over the mountain. The photos today can come from any day of this week. I’m so tired that it feels like I could sleep the…

On my way to work. Mixed weather today they say but the morning starts nice.
The day starts a bit windy and it will stay on the cooler side all day long. Soon time to start a radiator in the cottage.
The deer in the field kepps on looking around, something is disturbing it. Could be wild hogs, the dogd are calm so I doubt it's a wolf. Night is closing in.
Today is heading towards its end and no matter what we do a new one will start next morning.
