A wednesday in October

Wednesday. 

October. 

Autumnal feelings. 

A sea of colors.

Going outside and take a deep breath!

It was a gorgeous day, once the sun was out it warmed up quickly.

The nights are getting colder, the soapstone fireplace gets fired up every day now and it really warms up the entire house nicely.

It's cosy, not just inside. It might seem strange to some of you if I use the word COSY in the same sentence as FALL.

Autumn is a cosy time of the year where everything in nature prepares for a deep and long winter dormancy.

And guess what, the first time in my life it feels like that to me.
For the first time in my life I don't mind the fog, I don't mind the foliage to change color before it comes all down onto the soil, only to become one with it at some point.

The sunsets are especially cosy. It was especially quiet in the forrest today, no wind. Magical.

There are still some birds visiting / living in and around our yard.

We see sparrows, titmice, robins, treecreepers, black billed magpies and...

Jaybirds collecting acorns, what else!

MIKA is spending much time outside. Sometimes he tries to sneak up on the birds but they know exactly where he is and do not take him very seriously.
Even though his teeth look very impressive, don't they!

"ROAR" !!!!!!!!!!

Autumnally

Since today we (dog owners) are allowed to use the beaches again for our walks - with the dogs!
So that is exactly what we did today! ;-)

We were watched by a seagull, a very curious one...

Cleo was all about sniffing after all the rabbits who live on the beach while
Aaron was (very) busy with keeping his family together (meaning he was circling us all the time)
and trying to pick up the biggest stick on the beach!

Why the biggest?
Because he can! ;-)

And he was watching the waves... and so were we.

It was quiet on the beach (just below a little village called Olseröd, south of Åhus)
and quite warm too.
We got lots of rain over the last few days, but it never got cooler then 12-15°C.
During the day temperatures go up to 20°C and it's very humid and muggy.
Dragonflies are still hunting in our garden when the sun is out.
The grass on the lawn is growing like mad and the foliage on the trees starts changing it's color.
Leaves start falling down and it feels very autumnally.

I had a day off today. We started the day with a good latte, took the dogs for a walk in the woods, went to town for breakfast and picked Ingrid's new eyewear up at the optician.
By the time we got home it was only lunch time. And our afternoon was full of activities as well.
It is amazing how much one can get done when getting up early! *lol*

But now it's already pitch dark outside which means that I have finish up here and get to bed.
It's going to be a long day again tomorrow, driving bus all day...
Just so you know...

;-)

Wishing you all a beautiful autumnally day!!!
