Orättvist…Unfair!

Vi måste få klaga nu här.. för det har kommit till våra öron att matte tänker åka bort några dagar – utan oss! Och dessutom ska hon träffa en stilig och kul kille som vi borde ha fått träffa vi också – nämligen Yarri. Han bor långt upp i Sverige, närmare bestämt i Jämtland. Meeen, det är inte rättvist alltså…vi skulle ha busat och farit runt i snön och vi skulle ha skällt och bråkat och vi skulle ha lagt beslag på varandras ben och…jaha. Men nej.

Matte har i alla fall lovat ta med bilder hem på killen så att vi får beskåda en drever i riktig närbild. Och få snusa doften av honom lite grand också. Och som tröst i förväg har hon lagt in extra bilder på oss både här och under våra namn här i listen på bloggen – titta på oss där! Vi har också fått extra gott godis hemköpt och förväntar oss ännu mer när hon kommer hem!

So…now we have to complain here…our master is leaving us for another guy! He’s called Yarri. Well, only for a couple of days of course, but still… We’d love to go with her to have som fun, but no. She says No. Yarri lives with a blogging friend of our master’s called Maria. She sounds nice too, so our master told us it would have been far too much for her if we came along as well…

At least she has put in some more pictures of us here, and, under our names on top of the blog – and that’s cool. So – we’re looking forward to more new photos and lots of good stuff for us when she returns… Wooooooof!

Weekly Photo Challenge: Habit

I walk the dogs – or rather, they walk me… and several times a day. That’s a habit I would not want to be without.

Their habit is to dig and to roll in the leaves, and for Mille to run ahead of us, just to be caught up with again by Totti and me.

Trees…and me

So, I’ll be away from the computer for some days… but…” I’ll be back”, as the Terminator said. See you soon – happy blogging!

Travel theme: Brown

När jag var ung var brunt min favoritfärg. Jag hade bruna stövlar, bruna manchesterjeans, en brun tröja och en ljusbrun skinnjacka. Genom åren har jag alltmer börjat använda ljusare och mer färgglada kläder – åtminstone på sommaren.

Brunt är en av de mest framträdande färgerna i vårt liv och vår miljö. Jorden, från vilken vi kommer, från vilken vi får allt vi äter och i vilken vi till slut hamnar när det är dags för oss att sluta vår vandring här.

Jag tycker fortfarande mycket om brunt i alla dess nyanser. Men, jag vet också att många människor inte tycker om brunt – kanske till och med hatar denna färg…gör inte det! Den bruna jorden är en del av oss, den tillhör oss och vi tillhör den.

When I was young, brown was my favourite colour. I wore earth coloured boots, jeans and sweater and a light brown leather jacket. But, over the years, I have started to wear more colourful clothes – at least during summer.

The colour brown is all around us. It’s the colour of earth, where we come from, where we live, from where we get our food and in which we will end up in due time.

I still love this colour and all its nuances and shades. I know that many people don’t like it, maybe even hate it…please don’t! The brown earth is a part of us all. It belongs to us and we belong to it.

On Gratefulness

I would like to dedicate this post and its photos to you, all warm hearted friends out there – you stood by me, were with me and my father in your thoughts. Your waves of supporting, positive thinking touched the shores of my heart again and again. Thank you for being there. For being you.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Good Morning!

My mornings – when the weekend finally is here – are usually Good…especially when the sun is shining in there is a smile on my face. I walk slowly through the rooms, watering my flowers. Alone up and awake. Beautiful silence.

A couple of hours later, I hear my daughter’s bare feet in the stairs. Immediately two tails start drumming heavily…so, she says hello and picks up Mille or Totti and sits talking for a while – to both of them.  They all agree on the fact that life’s worth living…

Then I smile, open the door and walk out into my garden, shoes on my feet now,  to find some herbs and maybe some last flowers to put on the table. Not much is left …and frost has turned green into red and yellow. It’s a good morning.

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Candid Shots

Cee has a wonderful task for us…Candid shots, when people don’t know they are being photographed! My last shot is a double one…That car driver didn’t know I was standing by the road aiming for the rainbow – and I didn’t know I was to end up with him instead…

Ese’s Weekly Shoot & Quote Challenge: Scent

Certain scents bring back old memories like nothing else can do.  Memories from childhood and younger days. Sometimes a scent brings tears to my eyes and other times a smile on my face…For this challenge I chose a quote from the world of animals. Maybe it seems like a joke to some of you, but I have grown up with animals and I just might agree with Mr Stewart.  What do you think?

When a dog is really comfortable, they give off a certain scent and you can smell it on their paws.
