Last night we came back from the cabin, the last place we visited during this long summer of travels.
Monday is back to work.
This weekend is a time in between, a me-time, a time to stop and to breath, slowly.
And while doing so, I realise how much I miss blogging, and all of you, out there.
Going back to work after vacation is kind of starting a new year, and a new year means a new-year resolution.
Mine is to be back blogging daily!
Hope to see YOU here :-)

Some of you might remember that I used to write a blog about the squirrel family in our garden. I don´t add to the blog anymore , at least not for the moment. But the blog is still online, and can be found here:
Familien Frø-Nøtt
The blog also had its own page on facebook, and since we still have squirrels in the garden, and I still photograph them, almost daily, another little squirrel, probably a great grandchild of the one who wrote the blog, has decided she wants to continue her great grandma´s work - to keep up, not the blog but the facebook page. With (almost) daily photos and tales.

This morning I posted a little video of a few of our squirrels. Not a very good quality, but you will be able to enjoy some of their charm.

After an invasion of pigeons, I stopped feeding the birds for a few weeks this summer. The squirrels didn´t like this at all. They still find pinecones up in the trees, but to get their beloved sunflower seeds, they have had to go elsewhere.
Then my brother and his family came down from the Lofoten Islands to stay with us for a week. My niece came with her two little sons, Birk almost three years old, and Olai, 3 1/2 months. There are no squirrels in Lofoten, so for Birk I started to feed the birds (and the squirrels) again.
The squirrels are back, at least two of them. And so far only one pigeon has been seen.
Last year I wrote a daily blog on behalf of the squirrel family in the garden. You can find the blog here.
My goal is to make the posts into a book for Leander, and now, with my new MacBook, I can finally download the programs I need to make this dream come true.

I am having so much fun making up tales about the squirrels in our garden. You already know about my squirrel blog, Familien Fr-Nøtt (the Seed-Nut Family), where the squirrel mother Fru Solsikke Frø-Nøtt (Mrs Sunflower Seed-Nut) tells about her life in the garden.
I was watching this little squirrel today, finding his way into the squirrel safe feeder, like all our squirrels do. And all of a sudden I had a tale ready.
A tale about the squirrel boy Kokos (Coco) playing hide and seek with his sisters Pea and Kongle (Pinecone)
Kokos was so sure Pea and Kongle would never find him in there. But all of a sudden they did, and he had to run for his life.......
.......so fast that I never got a photo.

I have been out hiking again today, up in the woods. It has snowed a lot since yesterday, and when I came home I was covered with snow up to my knees. I think I need to buy myself a pair of truger, snowshoes.
One of the squirrels in the garden heard me and asked: "What is truger".
I explained it, the squirrel jumped down from the wall and cried: "I might need truger as well, or may be not. Jumping is a lot more fun without!"
I laughed, and agreed :-)

Do you follow my squirrel blog, the blog where squirrel mother Mrs Sunflower Seed-Nut blogs about raising a family in our garden. Today´s blog post is so cute, I will translate it and share it with you :-)
"Is it possible to collect rose seeds"
These last days there has been an absolutely lovely fragrance in the garden. Somthing sweet, which tickles my nostrils.
Today I am determined to find out where this sweet fragrance comes from.
It is strongest up on the wall, so I jump up there and start looking around. To the right, to the left, up and down.......
and then I discover the beautiful rose. Suck beauty. And can you believe it, the rose is the source of the smell <3
I wonder if it is possible to collect rose seeds, to preserve them and dig them out in winter when all the fragrances of summer are gone.

Here is the link to the squirrel blog
And here is Mrs Sunflower Seed-Nut´s facebook page.

I have been waiting and hoping every day now, to see the new baby squirrels, and when I was out this morning on my daily morning garden walk, Mrs. Squirrel could proudly present me with her new babies.
I am not sure how many they are, but from what I could count they must be at least five.

Yesterday The House in the Woods got another blogger. This little squirrel has started her own blog; Familien Frø-Nøtt (The Seed-Nut Family)
She will be very happy if you bookmarke her blog, go visit it and aven leave a comment from time to time. The writing will be in Norwegian as she has no Englisg knowledge, but you can enjoy the pictures and if you want you can use google translate :-) You find her blog here.
