Autumn has eventually arrived, a bit later and milder than usual. I do not mind it at all, also because I am late with all the "autumn" tasks related to the garden, especially.
One of the typical autumn tasks is to pick up apples. This year, though, it has been a terrible apple year (luckily in a way, because I do not know how on earth I managed the previous years to pick up all those apples?) and our loot has been a misery. Just 92 kilos.

| Our receipt from Sövde Musteri |
I dragged myself out today to cut the peonies, looking at the dahlias that are impatiently waiting to be digged out. It got dark very fast and it even started to rain while I was out, but this time I decided to just finish the task.

| Preparing the garden for the winter |
Struggling to get things done, I got contacted by a journalist of Sydsvenskan that wanted to make a reportage about me/us/the house. I could have talked for days about the house, cultural preservation and Åkarp's history and the journalist did manage to get something out of all my blabbing that did make sense and focused on Bellevue (although he could have probably been writing some very boring and long essay summarizing all I tried to say in the few hours he was here).

In the newspaper

I am very proud of the article but a bit less of one of the pictures, which ended up on the front page of the newspaper! I have a horrible grimace and the picture is there even less clear than on the web, as Chloe is sneaking out from the stairs banister and gives better sense to the composition.

| Chloe. Still, couldn't they have picked up a better pic of me? |
