Just nu finns det många fina vilda blommor på torpet (bland allt ogräs). Jag plockade tre av mina favoriter till en bukett - humleblomster, akleja och skogsnäva.
There are lots of really pretty wild flowers blooming at the cottage right now (among all the weeds). I picked three of my favourites for a bouquet - water avens (pictured), columbine and woodland geranium.
Svala njöt i solen och smutsen. Hon är vår inomhuskatt som inte vet vad en vanlig katt gör utomhus. Det är så roligt att se hur hon kråmar sig runt tomten som hon var den enda katt som fanns ute på landet. Jag hade hoppats att hennes jaktinstinkter skulle väckas så att hon skulle fånga några sorkar, men det känns inte realistiskt.
Svala loved being in the sun and dirt. She's our indoor cat that doesn't really know what an ordinary cat does outside. It's so fun to see how she prances around the yard as if she was the only cat that existed out in the country. I had hoped that her hunting instincts would kick in so that she would catch a few rodents, but that doesn't seem realistic.

Love your cottage stories! Keep the faith with the rodents and your kitty. She will find them eventually. It's wired into their dna. lol My very first cat, even caught a couple at Neill Wycik back in the day. :-) xo

I think the hunting gene might have skipped a generation with her ;) Luckily we have foxes, birds of prey, and neighbour farm cats to work on the rodent population.
