clouds in the evening

Just have to take a cupple of pics of this wonderful light in the evening

Runnaway Eve in heaven

Our neighbour beside the pasture called and told us that the eve was out of the pasture again.
Decided tio get her a free ticket to heaven. Difficult decisions but there is no other way to solve the problem othervise she will teach the other sheeps how to do

end of vacation

So at least it´s end of my three week vacation. Last week I have been finnishing the haying, cleaning the machinery and driving around the area with my brother in law several days.
Yesterday evening after a drive, one of our eves running out of the pasture. We went there and started looking for her and the two lambs. Saw her and tried to catch her but it was impossible. She just run away all the time.
Went home for a rope and my gun if she still would be running away.
Walked around the area for one our or so, but didnt find them again. Saw for my eyes me sitting in a moscuito filled forest all the night waiting for her.
After a while we decided to call the heard together again, just in case.
And who was there???
The runaways!
Darn animals.
That one I will made sausage of!

More heymaking

The wether have been perfect for the last week so I could start baling the last part of my hey.

Fortunately, I have many good friends who help me with the hay harvest. I would never cope alone.

believe that we brought in 15 tonnes of hay until now. Still have about 6 ton left in another field.

I really do not reap the field, so we will se what happends.

Our recreational cabin

We rent a little cabin far away in the forest

Today it was swepingtime in our recreational cabin and I went there at 7 pm to wait for the sweeper. We are not so often here, but when we are we love it.

The sweeper came to us every fourth year to do his job

The cabin is not so big, just about 5x4 meter but we dont need more. To day I have my breakfast here, and then back to work again.
Still have som heymaking at home.

Heymaking

Today was time to get some hey into the barn.

As usual the machinery give me some truble.

The one who bundle the hey broke several times, and it ended with a flat tire. Thats te way it use to be with very old machinery.My friend Bo and his son Martin was there to help me. We gave up at 7 am.  Have to repair the tire.

Hope we have better luck to morrow

Walking around the lake

Every summer, the first saturday i july pepole could walk 19 km around our lake. It´s no competition you walk just becuse you like it. (there is some pepole running, never understood why)

 This year was 30 year anniversary and the staff decided there would be some suprises for the walkers

We and our neighbors use to serve  juice and water to the walkers for about 20 years and we get dressed in different old clothes.

As we use to be beside our old store, Marit and our friend Jonny will be dressed like the merchant and his wife (Jonny forgot his pants becuse of the heat)

Pepole are walking on the old road, and there will be a lot of old stories about things happend there.

I was supposed to be a bum doing whatever I could not having a job, complaining for everybody I met of lazy ungenerous farmers who force me to work for them in the hayharvest in this heat.

The first I meet was a runner, and I asked him why he was running?

 Maybe the sheriff was hunting him for something?

Kristin, beside me, acting as "Lapp Janke", a young boy who killed his aunt in 1750. He got hanged beside the road.

There was also some pilgrims and St. Olof (a norwegan king lived about 900) on ther way to Nidaros in Norway.

And off curse the water sprite playing his fiddle in a little creek

In the final there was three girls riding on ther horses
