Did I tell you that a fox came here in daytime?
I sat at the PC indoors and Signe was laying in the door-opening
when I suddenly heard the roosters calling for help. I
immediately looked out and saw a fox approaching rapidly, and in
the same instant I was out screaming and waving my arms.
Thank goodness I frightened it just when it was about so grab a
hen! ...And Signe was still asleep! She is getting old now, 14
in January. So now the fowls, and even Mucklan the rabbit, have
to stay in the chicken run for good. But it is very large, so
it actually is no cruelty to animals even though they are trying
to convince me on that.

UPDATE ON THE CHICKS :
Great granny Bibbi is still such a good chick mum and I´m so
happy for her.
And of course even for old uncle Gusten who also still takes
very good care of the chicks.
The chicks are really happy now and have completely got rid of
the trauma! |

Linnéa and Martin came yesterday and stayed overnight
Linnéa brought a rabbit -
Mucklan´s new wife Bodil !!! -
from a pet rescue centre in Stockholm.
|
|
Even though this is an arranged marriage they fell in love
immediately !
...and
are now spending their honeymoon together in the chicken run!

This morning Linnéa, Martin and I went up at 4 o´clock and went
to Nyköping Airport
since they were going to Rome for a holiday.
When we passed Malmsnäs in the dawn a wild boar crossed the
country road
and I almost hit it with the car.
...Luckily
I always drive very slowly here in our road
since it is very common with wild animals crossing it. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
so all the animals and fowls
are having a lovely summer
side by side by side by side ... |

Just
have to tell you that Tuffbocken (the tough buck) just showed up
when we sat in the garden and took a drink - Lars, Signe and I.
I
have not seen him since May, and I have been a bit worried
because the hunt for roe bucks started last week, as well as the
hunt for red deer kids. But now he came and ate some apples very
close to where we sat, and I talked to him and told him to stay
here in the Humlekärr orchard as long as the hunt is going on.
But when I went in for Old Betty (my camera!), and came out
again, he had disappeared.
However, now I at least know he is still alive!

Vitnos, one of Tuffbocken´s wives, was just
here in the orchard with her little twins!!! So very sweet.
