Spending my time mastering sourdough bread filled with hemp seeds and smothered in pumpkin and sesame seed. These don’t last long. At most, 3 days pass before another one is required. #sourdough

I’m not a knowledgeable gardener, but that doesn’t stop me from planting. Lots and lots and lots of flowers.

I had a garden space for which I had no real plan. So, I tossed a pile of wild flower seeds onto it in the spring to minimize the barrenness. Zero regrets. #gardening

One of our garden cows. This is Casper, Helix pomatia aka Roman or Burgundy snail. In danish he’s known as a vinbjergsnegle. #snails #garden

Ran into this little fella on our morning hike. Natrix natrix, the grass snake, or in danish, sort snog. #snake #nature

On days when you get sad news, a trip to the beach is required. Freddie’s got his gear on and is ready to race through the dune grass. #vizsla #dogsofbluesky #organdonation

After a very, before the sun breached the horizon hike, it was still warm out. Too warm for these northerners. So, Freddie’s cooling off under the beech tree before a long mid afternoon lounge fest. #dogsofbluesky #vizsla

I built a small ecosystem. I started with ants, removed grass and filled the area with flowers of all types. Then came the aphids. Sooo many aphids. And then, hover flies. And now ladybugs. #bugs #ecosystem #flowers

Sun soaking naps started a few weeks ago here when it was only 12C outside. Its much warmer now.

Freddie was born on a farm with sheep and horses. They had an aunt,in the form of a very devoted dachshund bitch. She taught those pups how to go to ground. It was a danish gårdhund bitch that taught him how to dig - and respect small dogs. #dogsifbluesky

Happily planting seeds for the garden. I am a totale plant ignorante, but I get stuff to grow. And then I open this seed pack. I see I’m gonna need another indoor pot, and a few plant needy friends to adopt. I planted all of them. 😁 #birdofparadise #flowers #plantlikenobodyswatching

It’s cold out. Teensy bits of ice on the fjord surface. Freddie spotted the ducks and assumed the freezing pointer stare. #dogsofbluesky

Having some dinner with the watch dog. Have been summoned back to the hospital to have second stone in other kidney pulverized. My gall bladder looks amazing, I’ve been told. Things you don’t know you want to hear. #dogsofbluesky #urology #damnablestones

Babysitting his mum while a kidney stone makes her appreciate morphine. #dogsofbluesky
