First weekend without Magnus

A few days have gone by since he left for Norway, but we have to admit it's gone by quite fast. We all miss him very much and today, when we went to the vinyards, it just wasn't the same without him.

The day was insanely hot. Insanly hot, it started out slowely and by the time Maja got back from the market the temperatures have risen so we decided to get a ride up to the vineyard. Maja bought so many flowers at the market to spoil her mom a little and she was really happy when she saw them! And as usual, she got one plant for free since she bought so many haha. I chewed of a few blossoms, but gave up after being corrected a few times hehe. They just don't taste as good as meat, so why bother haha.

We walked down to the little garden project and took some pictures for Mags to see, his tomatos are growing like crazy, and the baby carrots came out as well, but the funny part about that area, which we were scared won't be the case, everything is growing abnormally, where we cut grass just a few weeks ago is now a jungle again. It rained a few days and after yesterday, when sun shined a little, nature woke up and overgrown the area. The funniest of all is tobacco plants, which my owners just planted between the rhododendrons, they have grown twice the size of others, which are planted in other areas, but the funny part about it is, my owners put a little cow poop in and some soil, then planted it and just chucked some soil over it, wondering if it will even take, since that area is mostly rocks and clay. But it's growing like on steroids haha.

We took a few pictures, but before you see the first one, I need to explain it so you'll know what to search for. Maja's parents told there is a little nest right outside the entrance door, which we all though was empty, but today, three little beaks were whining for food. Blind little birds calling parents to bring them worms, adorable, and so close you could touch them if it didn't disturb them. On the picture, you can see a blind baby bird leaning on the nest trying to hear who is speaking.
Curious little bling baby bird trying to observe us haha
Mags' 250g per fruit tomatos are growing like crazy
Blueberries still gaining on size and not yet ripening
Me by rhododendron which's double in size from 2 months ago
Tobacco plants between gardenbeds growing with extreme speed
I forgot to mention that the watermelons are now approx 30 cm longer then a few days ago and that when I said today was insanely hot, it really really was. It was messured 38 degrees celsium in half shade. Don't think it's often I go into shade and rest, today was one of those days.
We are going mushroom picking tomorrow, today on the market Maja saw so many people selling the Porchinos, so ofc we need to go, it will be so much fun again, cold forest, barely any people and maybe Lyra will be there also. Fun! But for now, I am hidding under the table, where it's cold and I get to sleep in peace, till later when I will move to the bed hihi.
