I dag lugede Uglemor aspargesbedet i haven - vi har hele fem aspargesplanter - og nød synet af denne store uglefigur. Det var Uglemors gave for ni år siden, men den blev først stillet op for et par dage siden.

Today MotherOwl weeded the asparagus beet (there's a grand total of five plants) and enjoyed the sigth of this owl. It was MotherOwl's birthday gift nine years ago, but it was placed in the garden olny in the past week. I dag var en meget varm dag. Alle Ugleboets indbyggere kravlede varme og utidige ind i Zeppelineren og sprang et kvarter senere ud i havets bølger.

Today was a very hot day. All the inhabitants of the Owlery climbed hot and grumpy into the Zeppelin, and 15 minutes later they were swimming in the sea.
I dag opdagede vi en sjov plante-fyr i vores have - den er afsløret... Løsning nederst på siden.

Today we found a funny thing in the garden - what it is? Guess. The solution is at the bottom of this post.
I dag var den første tomat moden. Som altid var det Cheerio - den plejer at være moden til 4. juli, men i år er sommeren sen.

Today MotherOwl found the first ripe tomato. It is an early tomato, normally the first is ripe at July 4th, but this year we had a long, cold spring.
I dag farvede Uglemor 100 g alpaccagarn med tagrørsblomster - det bliver lige så grønt som uld! Den første plante, der er så venlig. Garnet køler stadig af i den vidunderlige gryde

Today MotherOwl went in the meadow and collected reed blossoms for 100 g. alpacca, hoping against all odds it would turn the same luminant green as the wool -and it did! The first plant dye ever to dye alpacca just as well as sheep's wool. The yarn is still cooling in the wonderful pot.
I dag så vi de første gyldne halmballer blive læsset. Byghøsten er gået i gang. Vi hørte mejetærskeren i nat

Today we saw the first golden bales of straw. The harvest has begun and barley is as always is the first to ripen. We heard the combine in the night.

I dag så Uglemor til sine bier sammen med Ugleungerne. Vi så to smukke dronninger og æg og larver i begge stadet - hurra.

Today MotherOwl and the Owlets checked on the new bees. We found a beautiful queen bee, eggs and brood in both hives. So nice.
I dag nød Uglemor duften af de nyudskårne lavendelsæber - de dufter faktisk af lavendler!

Today MotherOwl smelled the newly cut lavender soaps. We can actually smell the lavender.

Den underlige ting i haven er en rosengalle den er bolig for et par galhvepselarver.

The strange thing from the garden is a moss gall, home of larvae of a rose gall wasp.
