Escape from boredom

Earlier this year we bought about 50 spruce plants, so hopefully in a couple of years we have a lot of Christmas trees available. Back in May my father and I did prepare the location, had to cut down a lot of Sambucus Racemosa (Rødhyll), a plant which is actually blacklisted here in Norway. A real pain in the ass, it grows very fast and forces away other species which naturally belongs here. A lot of work collecting all the branches.

When done, time to plant the spruces. I did this on the 16´th of May

And this picture was taken yesterday, a lot of fresh Rødhyll. The fight continues to ensure good conditions for the spruces.

I did pass the test, found here http://edition.cnn.com/2016/06/30/us/4th-of-july-quiz-us-citizenship/index.html

Time for the yearly dooryard docks tending. I think it was even more than last year. Most of them was possible to pull up with the root, which will make it go away for good. If the root stays it will return next year. I have also removed all lupins, since they are blacklisted.

The wheel of the wheel barrow did actually explode a couple of weeks ago, scared the living h#”” out of Elin – she was pushing it while the wheel exploded with a huge bang. Anyhow, bought a new wheel with rim at Jula – the axle did fit, but the rim was a bit to small. But not to worry, did make these two spacers, works like a charm, redneck style!

Seems like the bike belonging to my youngest son has lost its shadow

Its almost no problems that a piece, or at least a roll of, duct tape can’t solve

…and this time it was our car that came to an end. To much to fix, the Mondeo is dead, most likely long live the Mondeo. In a week or two we need a new car…

Elin has enjoyed Godt og Blandet, this is what is left for me 🙁

A couple of days ago, me and my youngest son headed deep into the forest to make sure that the road does not diseapar

Actually almost two weeks ago, but we had the day off and together with friends and their kids we all went to Minjarudkollen http://www.ut.no/tur/2.15628/ A nice walk for all of us, about an hour each direction, highest point in Fetsund.
