Vand i haven

Endelig lykkedes det og av min ryg. Men nu har jeg endelig fået vand i haven. Mit eget lille vand pjaske paradis.

Finally, it happened and ouch my back. But now I have finally got water in the garden. My own little water-puddle paradise.

Mit eget lille frø paradis med åkander og solcellepumper. Vi mangler stadig at få plantet bevoksningen i vandkanten ordentligt og vandet er kun 4-5 uger gammelt, så der er nok vel meget næring i vandet. Men myggelarver og dafnier er flyttet ind.

My very own frog paradise with waterlillies and solar cells pumps. We still need to plant the vegetation at the water's edge in more soil and the water is only 4-5 weeks old, so there is probably too much nutrition in the water. But mosquito larvae and daphnia have moved in.

Og mit første forsøg på en vandkunst er installeret og godkendt. Vandet risler stille ud under sneglen i toppen og det flade stykke ved siden af passer perfekt som badekar for grå-og skovspurve, som lystigt plasker og holder store badedag, - åh fryd!

And my first attempt at a water art is installed and approved. The water rises silently under the snail at the top, and the flat piece next to fits perfectly as a bathtub for gray and treesparrows, who pleasantly splashes around and holds a big bathing day - oh joy!

Der er liv i haven.

Jeg frydes.

I'm in joy.

Mit keramiske fuglehus, kendt som "fuglefanden", har indbyggere for førstegang. Åh fryd åh lykke.

Vi opdagede det den anden aften, hvor manden og jeg gik en runde i haven og han pillede noget spindelvæv væk fra øret på "Fuglefanden". - det resulterede i at "fanden" hvæsede!

Vi blev lettere overraskede og dagen efter tog vi huset under observation fra behørig afstand.

My ceramic birdhouse, known here as "Bird-devil", has inhabitants for the first time. Oh joy oh happiness. We discovered it a couple of nights ago, when my husband and I went for an evening walk in the garden and my husband removed some spiderweb from the "Bird-devils" ear. - that resulted in the "Bird-devil" hissing!

We were quite surpriced and the next day we watched the "devil" to find out, who our new neighbours where.

Men jeg drak min morgenkaffe sammen med hønsene i haven, så jeg, hvem der var flyttet ind. Det var hr. Musvit og fru.

While I was drinking my morning coffee in the garden with the other "chick's", I saw, who had moved in. It was mr. Titmouse and mrs.

Så nu er redskabsskuret off-limits for os og katten må bruge et af havens mange andre træer til at hvæsse kløer i.

So now the shed is off-limits for us and the cat must use one of the gardens many other trees as a scratching post.

Vi har skovspurve boende to steder under taget og en anden lille grå piphans bor i hvidtjørnen og jagter ihærdigt katten, hvis den nærmer sig. Jeg fandt uglegylp i hegnet op til marken i går, så her er et vidunderligt mylder af liv.

We've got to pairs of tree sparrows living under the roof edges and another little gray bird is nesting in the hawthorn and eagerly hunts the cat, if he gets to close. Yesterday I found owl pellets in the tree fence adjacent to the open field next door, so here is a wonderful abundance of life.

Og det bedste af det hele, - jeg har nu tid til at nyde det, men jeg venter på at der dukker arbejde op.

And best of all, - I've got time to enjoy it all, while I wait for a job opportunity to appear.
