Blueberry and mushroom weekend

September 14, 2009

Spent the weekend at a friend’s cottage while Ingrid went to visit her dad. Spent hours looking for mushrooms, taught Lucky how to eat blueberries off the bushes, found moose droppings, got temporarily lost, went skinny dipping and had a long sauna. Life in the country doesn’t get any better!

Cycling in September

September 5, 2009

The country roads feel unsafe when there is a lot of traffic, so mostly we cycle inside the town. Today we went down to Vinnerstad, to where the speed limit changes to 90 km, turned and made a wide circle back, about 15 k.

Crossing the old bridge over Strömmen (the river) back into Motala

Today the canal was full of coloured balls, after a "duck" race.

Birthday fun

I love August. Always great weather and fun things to do. And my birthday! The best thing about getting older is getting better at making memories.
