September

September has been quite uneventful from an house perspective. After the school start, also all the activities for the whole family starts and the every day puzzle can be already quite exciting without adding major house chores.
So, everything has been quite standing still.
I haven't even managed to pick up properly the apples during this month, so a lot have gone wasted (and it is not like October is looking so much better).

One of the big things that happened during September, have been though the "Kullavägen party" where most of our neighbours reunited themselves at our place, as per tradition (the tradition dictates that every 2 year someone living on the street should host the event).

The party!

The weather was not the best, but we managed to pull this together with the cooperation of few other neighbours. So this was definitely not single handed, although it was handled in our garden.

The weather since then has kept being worse and worse and right now it is almost as winter cold. 

There are still some sunny days, but I am not daring (neither managing time wise) to paint more, while I have been doing some minor gardening.

I managed to put more stones on the slope behind the pool, although there is still more to put and I have to find a way to remove the ground elder from the area.

My experiment both from a agricultural perspective and culinary are always involving Mattias who gets additional tasks.

This year I have decided to experiment with some rowan-berry, which is now in the freezer.

I had an ocean of tomatoes, that never got ripe, which are being used in different ways. 

Yesterday I did 1.5 kg of them as a jam.

We got delicious hazelnuts this year and as always, we can pick up some occasional mushrooms which I can tolerate despite my aversion to them.

The harvest of September - without the apples

Let's see how it will go with the apples this year, but it doesn't look very good right now.
