Summer is passing
Summer went so fast! And it was a hot summer, even here in the north.
Though it was very dry and most flowers suffered, we had an abundance of roses.
Now, the leaves turn yellow and start to fall. The mornings are misty and the bright days are full of color.
This year, I saw the biggest rainbow ever. I had to sandwitch two fotos to show it in one piece.
I learned something about the Fireweed: It starts blooming at the bottom and over the summer, the blossoms go higher and higher. When they reach the top, summer ist over.
I started a few projects this year. Among them was baking my own pizza. Well, it worked out okay. However, I could not find toppings that I liked very much. Everything tastes different here.
Finally, I started to clear some land for our intended orchard.
Due to the drought, my apple harvest was rather small, as were the apples.
The wild life still fascinates me. One day, I caught a young swift or hawk swallow who rested on the wall of the barn.
