On my way home I went for an enormous detour through the forest to visit the tadpoles pond. There was a dead mole on the middle of the forest road, so I moved this poor little feller to the side.
Later, after a bend I ran across two very beautiful and large deer on the forest path. I immediately stopped and they stood around for 5-10 seconds looking at me before they slowly walked into the forest. Unfortunately, my camera was in the backpack. No chance, lighting would have been brilliant, though.
I just checked on my little mates. It was already too dark for my shitty camera, so please excuse the crappy shots. One slough dried out, so those tadpoles didn’t make it. :-( What a bummer! Especially considering one puddle on the forest path 30 meters further is still going strong. There were very tiny frogs or toads (not sure which) around the big tadpole pond, though. That was super cool to see. I have to come back the next days when the sun is still up.
I ran out of clothes pins once again. Upcycling milk transport cardboard boxes to smaller boxes for screws, nails and such. Becoming my own hardware store.
@stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no 27°C is fucking terrible. :-( We completely rebuilt our natural stone wall. This time with wood ash mortar as an experiment in the base layers before we quickly ran out of it. Let’s see how that goes and how long it lasts. https://lyse.isobeef.org/tmp/natural-stone-wall-with-wood-ash-moyrtar.jpg
