A good summer in these latitudes is by no means any guarantee and the past three summers have been somewhat dissapointing. Not so this year. Sunshine and heat have been pampering us in an abundance but there has been just enough rain to keep most things fresh and green. Not the grass mind you. Still grass recovers quite quickly.
The winter was cold and very heavily snowy so I'm happy that the summer has lived up to its name this year.
Particularly the summer nights are enjoyable as the daytime heat is just a bit too much to bear in the middle of the day. But the velvety soft nights are just lovely.
Mom in the cottage garden - early evening
The seaside meadow and orchide field during the golden hour
A single orchide. I whish you could smell it. The scent is intoxicating in the evening.
Sunset over the Fagervik bay
A summer night at the cottage
Tree tops painted by the evening sun
Smell the roses
The shade is preferable in the daytime
My little lettuce tray
Me and my 'gang' in my town patio
Lots of watering required
Darling, darling Ljuba - best dog ever

I live here
The evening of mom's 80th birthday celebration at the cottage. I arranged a smallish surprise party and she was so very taken by it. Here most guests have departed and we had a small Bar-B-Q to wrap up the evening.
The dogs also rather stay indoors in the daytime. Lucia sitting, has had some trouble as I had to have re-sterilized (the original operation was done haphazardly), and she started to have rejection symptoms to the stitches. It has been a long and troublesome healing process but now it looks like it finally has started to dry up and perhaps we can finally spend some more time at the cottage.
What would one not do for these little furry friends.
Luckily I at least have some plants to tend in town too.
Here's whishing my few, but very loyal readers a great summer week.

Så trivelig å høre fra deg igjen! Og for noen fine bilder - så sommerlig og vakkert med alle blomstene! Du har "grønne" fingre, det er jeg sikker på! Og bildet av Ljuba på kudden er helt herlig!
Og den solnedgangen i Fagervik, utrolig flott bilde! Likte så godt den lange moloen utover vannet, ga det hele en nydelig dybde.
Joda - jeg kommer meg jo etterhvert. Gråter litt innimellom i savnet etter den lille hvite rakkerungen min. Greier nesten ikke se bilder av ham. Men fotoapparatet har vært luftet istedet - og det gir meg jo stor glede. Kjæresten har vært en kjempestøtte også. Men det hele er litt rart: å være uten hund. Har hatt hund i over 20 år, så det er jo noe som mangler. Har bestemt meg for at jeg ikke skal ha noen ny, fordi jeg og kjæresten er så mye på farten. Men hvem vet....kanskje en dag.
God sommer til deg også, min venn!
Hmmmm....når vi sier "rart" i Norge, betyr det "underlig" - "merkelig". Blir jo en helt annen betydning enn på svensk!
Tack för din kommentar. Jo jag vet att ordet rart har en helt annan betydelse på norska :)
Thanks for sharing a part of your summer with us. I'm glad you are having such good weather this year. Your pictures are beautiful.
So good to see you again! You have a lovely home! But my favourite photos are the ones from the cottage!!!
No, I did not get a new camera - i found the instruction manual, and have been learning new tricks! But I will thank you for the compliment!
