The heat continues. I'm so thankful for having the cottage in the forest with a lake close to it. This is a place we're I really can relax. Last weekend was spent in the cottage with my sons. Two lazy days with just bathing, playing games and barbecue.
The beach is over 1 km long and the water is shallow. It's perfect for families. It's also great that we are almost alone :)
I have never seen so many butterflies at the same time at the meadow by the cottage. This is a sign of how important it is to take good care of the surroundings by cutting the grass with a scythe at right time.
A little sign that we've reached the later part of summer is the morning mist that reveals all the cobwebs in the garden.
A colleague is growing cucumbers in the glassed shelter for smokers. As it is abandoned it's perfect for this purpose. We can all pick a cucumber if we like.
Vad härligt det låter...just sådana dagar är dem man minns när det är vinter...Vilken fin sandstrand! Ha en fin fortsättning på sommaren!
SvaraRaderaKram,
Regina
Tack detsamma
RaderaThis all looks so lovely, with the pretty nature and the wonderful lake... I'd love to make a vacation there!
SvaraRaderaIf you come to Sweden I will show you all my favourite places :)
RaderaÅh, vilka fina gurkor. Jag odlade gurkor en sommar och de blev stora som hela armen :)
SvaraRaderaKonstigt att se en helt tom sjö-strand. Här nere är det bara vita klitter så långt ögat når, och du kan inte ta ett steg utan att trampa på någon. Men så hatar jag också stranden... :)
Jag skulle hemst gärna vilja se bilder på dina pumpor, hur har det gått?
Jodå de har satt små kulor som jag ska försöka få att överleva :)
RaderaIt looks wonderfully peaceful! You are lucky! And I would love to have cucumbers at my disposal like that! Can't wait to grow oue own garden when we finally move house :)
SvaraRaderaIt's great to have a garden :)
RaderaFantastik!
SvaraRaderaJag drömmer om en semester som den. Men jag kan inte resa till Sverige i sommar.
I just hope I got the prepositions and everything right. My Swedish still needs some improvement. It won't be helpful to have a 3 month break from uni without any practise.
The cucumbers are looking good. I have started to grow tomatoes this year. Hopefully that works out in some way. :)

Det ser alldeles utmärkt ut :D I have studied German at university but I can't speak it because without practising I lost it.
RaderaSo peaceful and wonderful! The end of the summer? Does it start getting cold in August? I would guess you have an early fall. We tend to stay pretty hot until October. BLUCK.
SvaraRaderaThe nights are getting colder but the days are extremely hot. The lawn grows and looks still green thanks to the mist that waters it at night.
RaderaI LOVE the pictures of the butterfly and the cobweb!! And is your son really wearing swim shorts with the American flag on them?? Awesome! ;-)
SvaraRaderaYes American flag on kids shorts. Oskar bought shorts with the New Zealand flag. Swedes are very Anglofile ;) As some english speaking foreigners say "They speak better english than myself".
RaderaSeems so relaxing, so glad you had a lovely time! You are lucky that summer ends soon, we have still a long time.. that picture with the mist and the spider web is amazing! <3
SvaraRaderaWe long for autumn now :) Lit candles, cosiness etc.
RaderaIt looks like the perfect summer vacation .... no stress of travelling; just kicking back. :)
SvaraRaderaYou can tell autumn is just around the corner over here, too. Very heavy dew in the mornings and it's chilly!
We do both have a very short and intense summer season!
RaderaSuch beautiful images, what a wonderful place to stay <3
SvaraRaderaSer så mysigt ut...nästan så att jag skulle vilja gå & ta ett dopp i grannens pool nu...är SÅ varm... : /
SvaraRaderaÅh, vad härligt, snart blir det svalare (HÖST!) <3
SvaraRaderaMen det är jäkligt skönt att bada måste jag hålla med om. Jag var nog en sjöjungfru i mitt förra liv. ;D
Vilka fina härliga bilder :) Som vanligt ;)
